Champ! I had even bought a new heating element (smelled burning) and put it in only for the dryer to err4 after a few runs. Your tip fixed it and hopefully the silicon keeps it fixed!
Thank you, this time the cleaning didn't get rid of the err-4 message but taking the back/reset sure did. One thing that wasn't mentioned - you need to remove the back cover from the bottom section (where the two bigger screws are).
@@askmrwashywashy it worked and was ok when I was using it on medium... but then my wife came home and used it on high and happened again. Are you making a video of replacing the next bit?
I was getting an error4 after I had a non-spin issue. The motor capacitor was faulty. The motor failing to turn over meant the blower fan stopped too so the heater element would quickly overheat and trip the resettable fuse. $33 for a capacitor solved it👌
thanks this fixed my problem run down of my debugging empty drum unit work fine in auto wet towel in drum unit would stop spinning on the auto cycle near the end where it stops and starts couldn't turn the drum also error 4 found Mr Wash Washy video on capacitor replacement the motor cant start need the kick of the capacitor to get going. replace part super easy machine would now turn on the auto cycle but before it finishes will error 4 follow this video on error 4 fix the problem system is up and running again.
Hello i have this dryer and it keeps cutting out half way saying cln lnt (clean lint) and i always take out the filter and empty it i cant figure out what else to do. Ive had it about a year thanks .
Have you ever seen error 4 code but the switch has not activated? Im getting error 4 after 10 minutes of running but when i tried to reset the switch it hasn't popped out. I tried pulling it out to manually reset it but it won't budge. Im thinking the heater element is dead.
I have a dryer of this type, but the filter light is red. I cleaned it and the light did not go out. The word Auto appears on the screen, and when I put it on every day, it does not spin.
Hi there, your video is awesome, thanks so much! I'm currently having problems with err4 and err9 on exact same model. Have yet to try this for the err4 fix (just stumbled on the video tonight) but just wondering if you could please diagnose the err9? Dryer won't heat or stay on long but works on air dry and then reads err4 after about 10mins. Any help would be appreciated 🙏
You need to reseal it with silicone as described in the video. You don’t need much, but if it’s leaking then perhaps you didn’t use enough the first time.
Mate, thank you so much. A very informative video and all the logical steps. Waaaay better than the F&P manual. Do you know how to get into diagnostic mode, I have tried their method - Keylock & Dry temp for 3 secs. Nothing happens, just annoying beeps, then nothing. Thanks again.
So Do I HAVE to put the back cover on? Only because mine keeps shorting and I have to constantly press the reset button. We watched this video weeks ago we brought the new element we cleaned all the filters. It spins. But still faulting
Yes you have to put the back cover on. Make sure your fan is running. You also need to clean the condenser on the bottom left hand corner. Sounds like there is not enough airflow so the overtemp fuse keeps tripping
G'day mate! Thanks for the video! Why does that rear shroud need silicon to ensure a seal? Is there a pressure differential being detected somewhere? Thanks!
I think that fan at the bottom left is pushing air into the shroud, so it needs a bit of a seal so that the air can only escape via the heating element coils. If the air gets out the edges of the shroud then the heating element cuts itself out to stop burning out from lack of airflow.
Hey mate, had this same issue on our dryer. Click the back button at the top of the heat element as per your video and it did it again a number of times. Purchased a new F&P heat element and just swapped it out, but now the dryer won’t begin to spin without me pushing the drum to turn, then it spins as per normal. Any ideas on why it doesn’t want to spin on its own when I start a new cycle?
You need to replace the motor starter capacitor. You’ll find instructions easily online. This answer might come too late to help you, but at least it’s here for others who encounter the same problem, this is the cause of the dryer not spinning 90% of the time for this model.
Hi. i removed the rear coverplate and the reset button was normal and couldnt press in i ran the dryer with the rear coverplate off and it didnt cut out and show the flashing error code? Any thoughts on this. Appreciate your post and help
Hi Mr Washy Washy, I have done everything on this. During the run, it will stop after x amount of time and the drum won't rotate then error 4 will come up. I believe this could be the motor. Have you had this?
@@askmrwashywashy Thank you for the reply sir. I found out it was the drum guide rollers on the front so I replaced them. The new ones are a bit different to the old ones even though they're made for my model. They ended up plastic welding them selves to the frame since they are slightly different.
Thanks a million, the fix worked very well! I’m still having a small problem though. I’ve opened up the back of the dryer and cleaned out the lint everywhere i could find any. But i have a feeling there is still some debris in the intake vent at the front of the machine. It’s making a noise as it’s operating. Any recommendation as to how i might dismantle the bottom of the machine to get to the debris? Thanks again, Cheers.
Mr Washy Washy 24 seconds ago hi did they clean out your dryer before replacing the heater ? this error is usually set by air not flowing properly. Blockage being mainly caused by lint . you can open the back and reset your heater. the error will return if it still has lint buildup
I have the exact same dryer and its just over 2 yrs old, It keeps stopping no matter what cycle i use. There is No Error code. Just shuts down completely
Hi, I keep getting a lint light error. The lint light is flashing and will not go off and none of the other buttons on the dryer are working. I have cleaned the lint filter, the condesor and all other parts. I have also done what you did in this video. Do you have any suggestions on what I can try? Thank you in advance
Hey mate. Is there a trick for the reset button? Have accessed the back section but unable to compress the actual button. It's fixed and doesn't move when I press it.

Thanks so much for your help!! You’re a lifesaver, I’ve already managed to fix this dryer when it stopped spinning thanks to you!
Glad it helped!
Thanks Heaps for this mate. Fixed my problem. Saved me money I couldn't afford at the moment. You are a legend.

Awesome glad you sorted that out. Great diagnosis too
thanks this fixed my problem run down of my debugging
empty drum unit work fine in auto
wet towel in drum unit would stop spinning on the auto cycle near the end where it stops and starts couldn't turn the drum also error 4
found Mr Wash Washy video on capacitor replacement the motor cant start need the kick of the capacitor to get going. replace part super easy machine would now turn on the auto cycle but before it finishes will error 4
follow this video on error 4 fix the problem system is up and running again.
Hello i have this dryer and it keeps cutting out half way saying cln lnt (clean lint) and i always take out the filter and empty it i cant figure out what else to do. Ive had it about a year thanks .
My dryer, is spinning but its pretty noisy... does this mean i need to change the wheels you were talking about? If so how do i do this?
What about err 70 . Incorrect voltage to drum motor
Yep perfect. Hit the button and added silicon to the seal fixed it. ❤
Any fix for this model sounding like a mini bike? ours is so loud I cant hear myself typing

hi. mine show H20 full. I've cleaned everything. Condenser, lint filter, and whatever I can reach from outside. But the error still show.
I have a dryer of this type, but the filter light is red. I cleaned it and the light did not go out. The word Auto appears on the screen, and when I put it on every day, it does not spin.
Many thanks
Did what you you said and BOOM goes like a charm
Many thanks

Mate. You’re fantastic. Thank you.
Your a life saver I was about to get rid of my exact dryer luckily I found your video ,
Thanks for the help appreciate it
welcome glad you could fix this problem
My dryer is not appearing the error 4 warning, but it is not heating. I have tried all the advise on the video, but it still no working. Any idea?

I’ve got the exact dryer and the door is stuck I need help
Is it normal for this dryer to leak? I have always have water drenching my laundry floor from underneath the dryer
No it’s not normal. You’ll have to diagnose the leak
You bloody legend! Fixed!! The man. Cheers😊
I have this same model and I did this but Im getting water dripping from the bottom from the cover.
You need to reseal it with silicone as described in the video.
You don’t need much, but if it’s leaking then perhaps you didn’t use enough the first time.

Welcome. I don’t have that at the moment will ask around. I knew it a while ago I’ve forgotten it
Yeah their manual is wrong. It's keylock and dryness *level* for 3 sec.
So Do I HAVE to put the back cover on? Only because mine keeps shorting and I have to constantly press the reset button. We watched this video weeks ago we brought the new element we cleaned all the filters.
It spins.
But still faulting
Yes you have to put the back cover on. Make sure your fan is running. You also need to clean the condenser on the bottom left hand corner. Sounds like there is not enough airflow so the overtemp fuse keeps tripping
Exactly what I needed. My dryer model says Cln Lnt (for clean lint) but the outcome was the same.
how long have you had it ?
@@askmrwashywashy maybe 2 years.
I'm having the same issue I can barely get thru a cycle even when I take the lint filter out and it's empty I've had mine about a year

How do you fix error 2
Hi. i removed the rear coverplate and the reset button was normal and couldnt press in i ran the dryer with the rear coverplate off and it didnt cut out and show the flashing error code? Any thoughts on this. Appreciate your post and help
Might be some fluff in the dryer. I’d clean the front where the filter goes and clean the condenser
@@askmrwashywashy Thanks Mr WW
Any thoughts on I need servicing fault code 7?-thanks
Hi mate what model number is yours . Haven’t got that error before so maybe we might pin point it together
Mine has a lint filter flashing and any button press results in rapid beeps. Won't start.
From this it sounds like the door switch is not registered as closed
Is yours an Lg ?
Yes. We're messenger messaging 😎
What else could it be if the issue still persists?
Roller wheels and idler wheel worn
Hi, is error code 14 the same as error code 4 as seen in this video?
I think they are different haven’t had 14 before
Hi Mr Washy Washy, I have done everything on this. During the run, it will stop after x amount of time and the drum won't rotate then error 4 will come up. I believe this could be the motor. Have you had this?
It’s the heating element not turning on. It’s turning waiting for the heater to turn on but it’s not turning on so it gives an error code
@@askmrwashywashy Thank you for the reply sir. I found out it was the drum guide rollers on the front so I replaced them. The new ones are a bit different to the old ones even though they're made for my model. They ended up plastic welding them selves to the frame since they are slightly different.

hi. welcome glad you were able to fix it. The bottom doesn't come off. You can remove the front cover on bottom right hand corner
I just tried this but the switch at the back would not click down. What does that mean?
I had the same issue with not being able to push the switch down. Did you ever figure it out? I'm going to try a new heater element.
Heating element replaced last week after this error and I’m now getting the same error help!!

Hey mate. Is there a trick for the reset button? Have accessed the back section but unable to compress the actual button. It's fixed and doesn't move when I press it.
hi if you pressed it and it doesn't go in it means it didn't pop. Might be an issue with the themostats themselves change them if you can
