Look on this forum for the manual.

It will open. You will need to just keep working it.

1) Integrad circuit, for regulator voltage can be faulty, you must replace, the must have output for +5Vdc, for the display circuit.sincerely. God bless you

Hi ducktalk61...

Here are a few things to check:
ALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR DRYER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO ANY WORK ON IT.
Check to make sure you are getting full 220 Volt power to the dryer, if you are then:
Check your Wiring
Often the main wiring connection from the house, at the dryer, burns and the connection breaks. If this has happened to your dryer, you need to replace the power cord and the terminal block inside the dryer to which the wire is attached.
Check the Door Switch
If the door switch or the door-switch actuator is defective, the dryer won't work and you need to replace the failed component. The switch is inside the dryer main housing near the door frame. Sometimes you need to raise or open the top or front of the dryer to reach the switch. Check for continuity you should have none with door open, and should have a reading when closed. If not replace the door switch.
Check to make sure you heating problem is not a lint build up in the discharge hose or the dryer,as this condition can cause heater/thermistor problems such as overheating of the heating coil leading to failure of the coil and burnout of the thermostat/thermistor due to overheat.
Remove the back/or front just under the door of the machine and try to locate the air duct going from the blower to the drum. Normally inside/outside the air duct you will find the heating coil and the thermostats/thermistors. Once you have located the heating coil, remove the two wires from it and check the coil with an ohm meter across the two terminals of the coil.
You should read continuity across the terminals, if not you will need to replace the coil as it is faulty.
If the heating coil is ok, then:
You can check the thermostat/thermistor/thermal fuse one at a time by removing the two wires and taping them together with electrical tape.
If the coil heats up then replace the thermostat/thermistor/thermal fuse as it is faulty.
If you have an ohm meter then you can test the thermostat/thermistor/thermal fuse,
then you do not have to tape the wires together as described above.
To test your thermostat/thermistor/thermal fuse remove the wires from the thermostat/thermistor/thermal fuse and check for continuity, if you DO NOT have continuity then replace the thermostat/thermistor/thermal fuse.
DO NOT LEAVE THE WIRES TAPED TOGETHER AFTER THE TEST AS THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE BECAUSE YOU HAVE REMOVED THE SAFETY.
Check your blower wheel to make sure it is secure to the shaft and not plugged with lint,socks,etc.
If the thermal fuse overheats the dryer will not operate. It's located on the blower housing. It cannot be reset.
You can test it with an Ohm meter or continuity checker, remove both wires from the thermal fuse and put the test probes to each of the ends of the thermal fuse, if no continuity then replace the thermal fuse.
A vent clogged with lint can cause it to overheat.
Right after replacing a dryer element, always run the dryer on 'air fluff' / 'no heat', and go outside to verify there's plenty of air coming out your vent system.
If the vent's clogged, that new element can burn out very quickly.

Please take time to rate me thumbs up

No, is the dryer drum spinning? If not, replace the drum belt. If the drum is spinning but not drying the colths. The dryer heating elements is burnt out and needs to be replaced. GB..stewbison

Hi, If you are having problems with your gas dryer not heatingthe most common problem is that the ignitor goes bad. Even though it glowssometimes it is still not working properly. if you dryer is gas check out this gas no heat tip.... If you have an electric dryer, you can have many differentthings that can go wrong causing the dryer not to heat. check outthis electric no heat tip...

Turn on your dryer and tests your heater element.. see you have 240v going to it... if you do and no
heat you have a bad heater element

I would guess thermal fuse:

Hello,

The link below is to a video that explains how to access the resettable fuse on the heater canister.

Hello there
The overheat protector is behind the machine's front panel, on front of the heater box beneath the drum. Access thusly: UNPLUG the dryer. Remove the lid. Carefully pry out the two lid bumpers at either side near the front corners. Remove the two screws beneath. Raise up the top deck, have an assistant hold it up. Remove the two screws at the edge of the front panel. Spread the sides of front panel just a little so the tabs that latch into the door grabber can clear. Pull the front panel forward and lift upwards to remove it. Be careful of the ground wire that clips to the lower edge of the panel. Shouldn't be necessary to remove the clip, you can turn the front panel aside enough to access the overheat reset button. Locate the reset button on the overheat thermostat and press it. The reset button is a large red button on electric models, but gas models have a small black button per pictures I've seen. The button should "click" when pressed if it was tripped. If so, reassemble and check if the machine now heats. It the overheat didn't seem to be tripped and it still doesn't heat after pressing the reset button, then something else is at fault. and yes the heating elements are normaly the first things to go out on these after a few years this is normal

Hi,

Glad you found your problem and that you got it working agian!!!

Hello s cissy. If the clothes are hot but not getting dry you probably have lots of lint accummulated in the vent pipe which is stopping the wet air from escaping to the out-of-doors. To solve this pull out the dryer, unplug it and then disassemble the vent pipe from the lower back of the machine. Clean out the inside of the pipe and the interior of the machine where the pipe connects.

If the clothes never get warm to hot, then you most likely will have to replace the heating element. Get back if that is the case and we can talk you through that repair. Joe

Thanks for choosing Fixya!

Greetings,
The heating elements do not cost $200 USD buy $80 for both; available online from the most common Fisher-Paykel parts supplier.
Good luck

Check the drum rollers, they are normally the cause for squeeks and squalls..Use some good grade of machine oil like 3 in One oil to lube the shaft fo the rollers. That should solve the noise problem
