Understanding the Problem
You typed only 'fp', which is ambiguous. 'FP' can be many things depending on context — a brand abbreviation (e.g., Fisher & Paykel), a control/front-panel fault, or an on-screen error code on a specific appliance. Without the appliance type (dryer, washer, refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, etc.), the brand, and model number, I can't accurately diagnose or recommend parts. To create a complete repair guide I need at minimum: the appliance type, brand, and full model number (usually on a silver/white sticker on the door frame, behind a panel, or on the back). If you're seeing an error on a display, send the exact characters (capitalization and any spaces) and a photo of the control/display and the appliance label if possible. With that info I can map the 'FP' to the correct fault and list exact parts and step-by-step fixes.
Common Symptoms
Symptoms vary by meaning: could be a brand-related general failure (appliance not working), an unresponsive front/control panel, or an on-screen error accompanied by loss of function, tripping breakers, or water/heat-related faults.
Common Causes
- ‘FP’ as an ambiguous shorthand — may refer to the brand Fisher & Paykel rather than a fault code
- Front-panel or user-interface/control-board failure (buttons/touchpad unresponsive, display blank or incorrect code)
- Appliance-specific error code 'FP' indicating a power/failure, flow/frozen-pipe, or other fault depending on brand and model

Helpful Repair Tip
Check the appliance's model number label (inside door frame or back panel) and take a clear photo of the display/control showing 'FP' — that will let me identify the exact meaning and part numbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information should I send so you can diagnose 'fp'?
Send the appliance type (washer, dryer, fridge, dishwasher, oven, etc.), the brand, and the full model number (found on a label inside the door, on the back, or on the appliance frame). Also include the exact error text as displayed and a clear photo of the control/display and the model/serial sticker if possible.
Can I try anything now before you respond with a full guide?
Yes — safely power-cycle the appliance: unplug it or switch off its breaker for 60 seconds, then restore power and note whether 'FP' returns. While powered down, locate and photograph the model/serial label and the control/display. Do not open or attempt repair while the appliance is powered, and avoid internal checks if you are not comfortable working with live electrical components.
