Fisher & Paykel laundry appliance: Lint cLn message

The filter is designed to be emptied after every load; once it clogs beyond that, the control displays this message rather than letting the cycle continue against restricted airflow.

What to do when Lint cLn shows on the home appliance

Kind of codeFilters

A filter has reached the end of its life or is clogged enough for the appliance to notice: a refrigerator water cartridge past its gallons or months, a hood's grease or charcoal filter loaded with residue, a dish-care filter packed with food, a washer inlet filter choked with grit. The fix is a clean or a new filter of the right part number, fitted with the appliance unplugged and the water closed where there is one, then the reminder reset.

Usually leads toWater filter and descaling service

Fresh filters in dispensers and ice makers, and scale cleared from steam ovens, ice makers and dish care machines.

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.

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.

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for Lint cLn on its home appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Pull the lint filter up out of its slot at the bottom of the door opening and wipe off the lint.

02

Check the filter for tears and make sure nothing else is caught in its holder.

03

Seat the filter back in fully before restarting the cycle.

04

Book a visit if Lint cLn reappears with a clean, undamaged filter in place.

Still there?

It usually turns into water filter and descaling service. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

Lint cLn is about the filter in the door opening specifically, not a report on the heater or the motor, and it is a different message from the separate condenser-cleaning prompt on the same dryer.

Questions
about Lint cLn.

Can I clear Lint cLn myself?
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.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Lint cLn?

A booking goes further when it has the reminder or code as shown, the model number from the rating plate, and a word on when that filter, screen or tub was last cleaned. With those three, the office can pack the right filter or cleaner for your appliance.
