On cold storage it can mean a condenser coil buried in dust or a grille blocked by a rug. Clean the screen, check the duct behind the machine with it unplugged, and book the full run cleaned; a hot or scorched smell means stop now. ### Usually leads to Lint path and exhaust vent cleaning Lint cleared from the screen housing, the duct behind the laundry and the whole run to the outside hood. ### Shows up as Laundry Taking Two Cycles to Dry: The Lint Path Is Usually Why Laundry taking two cycles to dry is a load that comes out damp at the end of a normal cycle and needs another run, often with a hotter cabinet and a muggier laundry room. ### Make Fisher & Paykel Fisher & Paykel homes often have a DishDrawer, whose two drawers each need their own filter rinsed, alongside column or French door cold storage and a laundry pair. ### Source Fisher & Paykel DE4024P2 condensing dryer user guide Fisher & Paykel 24-inch DE4024P1 and DE4024P2 condensing dryers. ## Before you book, in this order.

Open the condenser cover and turn the two lock levers 90 degrees to slide the condenser out. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### How often does the Fisher & Paykel condenser need cleaning? About once a month according to the guide, and there is also an earlier flashing light that serves as an advance reminder before this message appears. ### I rinsed the condenser but cLn cond stayed on my Fisher & Paykel laundry appliance. Why? It usually means the condenser was not seated fully or both lock levers were not engaged; recheck the fit before assuming a bigger problem. ### Is cLn cond the same reminder as the lint filter message? No, they refer to two different parts behind two different covers, so clearing one does not clear the other. --- **[Read on the site: Fisher & Paykel laundry appliance: cLn cond message](https://appliancemaintenance.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-dryer-cln-cond/)** **[Book a visit with ApplianceMaintenance.center](https://appliancemaintenance.center/schedule/)**
