Expert Advice: Repair or Replace?

Deciding whether to repair or replace your Fisher & Paykel dryer depends on several factors. Age is a key consideration. If your dryer is nearing the end of its expected lifespan (typically 8-12 years), a replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run. The cost of repair is another important factor. If the repair costs exceed 50% of the price of a new dryer, replacement is often recommended.

The type of problem also plays a role in the decision-making process. Some issues, such as a faulty heating element or a worn-out belt, are relatively inexpensive to fix. However, more complex problems, like a malfunctioning control board, could justify a replacement. Our expert technicians at Volt & Vector can help you assess the situation and determine the best course of action.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: My Fisher & Paykel dryer is making a loud rumbling noise. What could be causing this?

A: Excessive noise can be caused by worn-out drum bearings, loose objects inside the drum, or problems with the motor. For your safety, unplug the appliance before inspecting the drum for any foreign objects. If the problem persists, contact Volt & Vector for professional diagnosis.

Q: What does error code E2 on my Fisher & Paykel dryer mean?

A: Error code E2 indicates that the drying time is too long and the dryer may be running noisy.

Reduce the load size and ensure the power cord is securely plugged in. If the problem persists, call Volt & Vector.
