F12Warning

Fisher & Paykel Dryer F12 Error Code

The dryer detects restricted airflow, often due to lint buildup in the venting system.

Common causes

  • Blocked lint filter
  • Kinked or long vent hose
  • Lint accumulation in ductwork

How to fix it

  1. Clean the lint filter thoroughly.
  2. Inspect vent hose for kinks or crushing; straighten or replace.
  3. Disconnect vent hose and check for blockages; use a vent cleaning kit.
⚠ When to call a pro: If no blockage found but error persists, the airflow sensor may be faulty; call a pro.
