Question about Fisher and Paykel DG05 Gas Dryer

Fisher and paykel clothes dryer ED 54 -U

Hi there I have a F & P clothes dryer that when u turn the power on from the wall it sreams a high pitched alarm which comes for the digital control panel at the front. I vacummed some of the dust around the main power supply at the back and it worked - but as soon as I put the unit back together it went back to the alarm sounding. any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :) Cheers Craig :)

The control panel may have moisture build up. We directed a fan at the dryer for awhile and this seemed to fix the problem.

Go back to the last thing that changed..."as soon as I put the unit back together"...what item may have pinched a wire during re-assembly....not saying it wasn't pinched before you started. I am saying there is a possibility of a wire pinched to chassis...an electrical short.

Clothes dryer does not work when power turned on at wall. Sounder goes continuously, no lights on panel and panel buttons do nothing

If it didn't do that before removing the capacitor & wires then I would assume it is something you have done wrong. Maybe put a wire back in wrong place. There is a wiring diagram on back of dryer. Motor not starting could be the capacitor, you really need to test it with a capacitor tester. It may also be the motor bearings seizing up. If motor is tight to turn when belt is off then it will be time for a new dryer. Too expensive to replace the motor on such an old dryer.

My Fisher Paykel is making a high pitched whine. Similar to some one running the finger around a wine glass.

Squeal when dryer turning

The problem is that your dryer needs a new drum bearing.

Fisher & Paykel Auto Sensor Dryer stops & beeps constantly

Hi emkboyce

my Fisher Paykel auto sensor dryer keeps stopping and beeping, i have to stop it and and re start.

I had the same problem. I took it off the wall and vacuumed up all the lint from everywhere including around the back and including taking off the back and vacuuming everything I could reach inside. I then used a damp cloth to get rid of the rest of the lint/dust.

I thought I was wasting my time but guess what, the problem has gone.

Good luck!

Dryer tries to start - then stops and beeps PLEASE HELP

Check the exhaust hose. If the dryer isn't venting properly it will either stop or the heater will turn off and the clothes will remain wet. If the hose is not clogged check the wall vent tube.
