Why your Fisher & Paykel dryer is burning smell

On a Fisher & Paykel dryer, burning smell usually announces itself like this: smell of burning rubber, plastic, or wiring. STOP USE — call us immediately. The usual culprit is a wiring or control-board problem. Left unaddressed, laundry backs up fast.

Most likely causes

  • A failed sensor or switch
  • A wiring or control-board problem
  • A worn or failed internal component
  • A worn mechanical part at end of life

Known Fisher & Paykel dryer weak points

  • refrigerator temperature fluctuation and ActiveSmart cooling-system faults
  • DishDrawer water pooling, poor cleaning, or unresponsive touch controls
  • range and oven ignition problems and uneven cooking with error codes
  • SmartDrive washer failures requiring model-specific diagnosis

Quick check — and when it's not DIY

There's one thing worth checking before you book anyone: confirm the dryer has power and rule out anything obvious — a tripped breaker, an unlatched door, a blocked vent. Also, unplug it for a minute and try again, since a simple reset clears more faults than people expect. Beyond that, if the basics check out, the fault is inside the control system or a sealed component, and diagnosing that safely takes a technician's tools and training.

How we fix it

Our technician runs a full diagnostic on your Fisher & Paykel dryer and isolates the exact cause before quoting. Genuine Fisher & Paykel parts are available but some DishDrawer and SmartDrive components are proprietary; refrigerator sealed-system repairs require an experienced technician. You approve a flat price up front, and the work is backed by our labour and parts warranty.

The Fisher & Paykel dryer broke right before the weekend and they still came out same-day. The diagnostic fee came off the repair total, just like they promised.

Two other shops couldn't fit us in — these guys fixed the Fisher & Paykel dryer the same day. No runaround — they told me honestly what it needed and fixed just that.
