Quick answer: The Fisher & Paykel DH9060 and DH8060 heat pump dryers share one platform, so the faults that stop a load are nearly always a stretched drum belt, a failed door lock switch, a choked drain pump, a worn drum bearing or a leaking door seal. This page covers the replacement parts stocked for DH9060P1, DH9060P2, DH9060C1, DH9060FS1, DH8060P1, DH8060P3 and the variants named beside them. Read the code off the model sticker inside the door opening, then match it against the models named in the listing title before you order.

The models this page covers
Open the door and look at the sticker on the rim of the opening, usually on the left of the front frame and occasionally on the rear panel. You want the long code starting DH, such as DH9060P2 or DH8060P3. The suffix matters: the P, C, H and FS runs take different belts and different door lock switches, so a DH9060P1 part is not automatically a DH9060FS1 part.

Fitting it yourself
Pull the plug out of the wall before a screw comes out, and leave it out until the panels are back on. Two rules sit above the rest: the refrigerant circuit is sealed and is licensed work, so never open, vent or top up the heat pump side, and never bypass the door lock switch to keep a machine running.
The jobs here sort into three levels. Easy: the door seal, the airflow checks and the drain pump, which sits low and comes out with the front or base panel off. Moderate: the drum belt, tension wheel, pulley and the fan and shaft, where the front panel and drum come out — photograph the belt route first, and if the machine has been rumbling too, do the drum bearing in the same teardown rather than opening it twice. Leave to a repairer: the drive motor, the front drum guides and anything behind the control panel. The run capacitor holds a charge after the power is off and sits on the 240V side, so that one is for a licensed person.
Can’t find your model?
Stickers fade, and some of these dryers sit with the sticker facing a wall. Photograph whatever is legible, or copy the code from the manual or the invoice, and send it through the Oz Appliance Spares contact page with a note on what the machine is doing. If your code is not in a listing title, do not assume a near-identical code is close enough — the suffixes on this family are the whole point. Stocked parts are dispatched from Sydney the day you order when it’s in by 12pm Sydney time.
Frequently asked questions
Why has my Fisher & Paykel DH9060 stopped tumbling?
Nearly always the drum drive belt. The machine starts, the fan runs, the drum never moves, often after a short squeal weeks earlier. Belts sit across several listings because the P, C, H and FS runs do not share one part, so check which listing names your code.
My dryer is dead with the door closed. What should I check?
With power confirmed at the outlet, a dryer that will not start with the door properly latched usually has a failed door lock switch. It sits behind the door surround, and until it proves the door is shut the machine will not run. Never bridge it to get one more load through.
Water is sitting in the base and the tank is empty. Which part is that?
That points at the drain pump that lifts condensate to the tank. Clear the filter and the pump inlet first, because lint chokes it long before the motor fails. If it is clear and still silent, or noisy without moving water, the pump is the replacement.
Are the Fisher & Paykel and Haier listings interchangeable?
Only where the listing title says so. Some parts are shared with Haier-badged machines, which is why codes such as HDHP80A1 and HDC80E1 appear alongside a DH8060 or DH9060 code. Where both are in the title the crossover is confirmed; otherwise order only for the code on your model sticker.
Can I service the heat pump part myself?
No. The heat pump is a sealed refrigerant circuit and work on it is for a licensed person. What you can do safely is keep the airflow side clean: the filters, the condenser access if your model has one, and the drain path, which is where most suspected heat pump failures end up.
