Pull the lint filter up out of its slot at the bottom of the door opening and wipe off the lint. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### How often does Fisher & Paykel say to clean the lint filter? After every load; the guide also describes a Lint Filter light that flashes as a per-cycle reminder before Lint cLn would ever appear. ### Is a clogged lint filter only a drying-time problem? No, the guide also treats built-up lint as a fire risk, which is why it recommends acting on the reminder promptly rather than letting it accumulate. ### Does Fisher & Paykel suggest anything beyond wiping the filter itself? Yes, it suggests having a technician vacuum lint from inside the cabinet about once a year, separate from the routine after-load filter cleaning. --- **[Read on the site: Fisher & Paykel laundry appliance: Lint cLn message](https://appliancemaintenance.center/error-codes/fisher-and-paykel-dryer-lint-cln/)** **[Book a visit with ApplianceMaintenance.center](https://appliancemaintenance.center/schedule/)**
