Summary

Fisher & Paykel DE8060P2 error code ERR9/E9 means nTC2 error (heater thermistor). This guide explains the likely causes, the safest first checks, and when support or service is the better next step.

Fix it fast

  1. Power-reset the appliance once for at least 60 seconds.
  2. If the code is linked to an accessible probe or removable sensor lead, check that it is seated correctly.
  3. Retest once and note when the code reappears.

What ERR9/E9 means

NTC2 error (heater thermistor). On the Fisher & Paykel DE8060P2, this code relates to the tumble dryer and should be interpreted together with how the appliance is behaving right now.

Common symptoms

  • The tumble dryer displays ERR9/E9 instead of normal status information.
  • The current cycle, function, or startup sequence may stop, pause, or behave differently than expected.
  • The same code may return after a reset if the underlying issue is still present.

Most likely causes

  • A temperature, level, position, or other sensing component is reading incorrectly or has failed electrically.
  • A wiring or connector issue is stopping the control system from reading the sensor correctly.

Deeper checks before service

  1. Record whether the fault appears at startup, during heating, cooling, filling, or another specific stage.
  2. Check whether the problem started after transport, cleaning, or a power event.
  3. Persistent sensor faults usually need service testing with the correct parts data.

Safety warnings

  • Do not dismantle sealed sensor circuits or internal wiring unless you are qualified.

When to contact support

Book service if ERR9/E9 returns after one proper reset, because persistent sensor faults usually need diagnosis and replacement parts.

FAQ

Can ERR9/E9 clear after a reset?
Sometimes a temporary glitch clears after one full reset, but a repeated return usually means the same underlying issue is still there.
Should I keep using the appliance if it works again briefly?
Only if the code stays away and the appliance behaves normally. If the same code comes back, stop and move to service or more targeted diagnosis.

What to record before Fisher & Paykel support or repair

  1. Photograph the full display and the product label or rating plate.
    ExpectedYou can confirm the exact model and avoid support or parts quotes against the wrong product variant.
  2. Note whether the appliance was idle, starting up, heating, filling, draining, cooling, or finishing a cycle when the code appeared.
    ExpectedYou have the timing detail that usually matters most in fault triage.
  3. Write down any recent changes such as a power interruption, filter clean, leak, unusual noise, smell, moved installation, or repeated manual reset attempts.
    ExpectedSupport can separate a recent event from a longer-running repeat fault faster.

Next actions if ERR9/E9 keeps coming back

If ERR9/E9 returns after one clean restart and the user-accessible checks above, treat that as a repeat fault. The safest next move is to compare the model hub, confirm the official manual-safe checks for this device, and then escalate with a clear symptom record instead of opening panels or replacing parts blind.
