Product review (3 stars): I love my top loading dryer when it works
I purchased a Fisher Paykel top loading Smartload dryer 8 years ago. I had no problems for the first 6 years, but it has been driving me crazy for the last 2 years. First, I began having trouble with the dryer not heating occasionally, then it became more regular. We live in an area that has no one who services Fisher Paykel products, so we began searching on the internet for others who were having similar problems. After much research we replaced both thermostats to no avail. We then replaced the heating element, but still only had occasional heat, (only on a delicate heat setting). Even when the dryer worked there was this constant annoying tinkley beeping noise. I read your post, cleaned out the lint under the panel behind the lint bucket and now I have heat and no annoying beeping noise. Thank you very, very much for sharing this information. A note to Fisher Paykel: this information should not be a secret, it should be in our owner's manual, and on your website, which it is not. Shame on you!!!
