If your Fisher & Paykel or Haier-badged condenser dryer is tumbling but the clothes come out cold and damp, the heater is the first part to check. The genuine replacement element is the part covered here, and this page is for you if you already have the number off your old element written down, or if you have a Haier-badged dryer and want to confirm the fitment before you buy.
What is this dryer heater and what does it fit?
This is the heating element fitted to a family of 8 kg and 9 kg condenser dryers built on a shared Fisher & Paykel / Haier platform. The element sits in the airflow path behind the drum. As air is drawn through it, the element heats that air, the warm air passes through the tumbling load, and the moisture it picks up is then condensed and collected — there is no external vent.
When the element fails, the drum still turns and the program still counts down, but the air is never heated. The result is a long cycle that finishes with a cold, still-damp load.
The genuine part fits the following models:
- DC8060P1
- DE8060P1
- DE8060P2
- DE8060P3
- HD80-01
- HDC80E1
- HDHP90AN1
- HDHP90ANB1
If your model is on that list, this is the heater you need. The DE-prefixed and DC-prefixed numbers are Fisher & Paykel-style model codes; the HD, HDC and HDHP codes are Haier-badged versions of machines on the same platform. They share the same heater, which is why the one part number crosses all of them.
Is the Fisher & Paykel and Haier dryer heater the same part?
In short, yes — for these models. Fisher & Paykel and Haier belong to the same manufacturer group, and the appliances are engineered and built across shared platforms. That is why a heater carrying a Haier part number is the correct genuine element for both the Fisher & Paykel-coded dryers (DC8060P1, DE8060P1, DE8060P2, DE8060P3) and the Haier-coded dryers (HD80-01, HDC80E1, HDHP90AN1, HDHP90ANB1).
For a buyer, this matters in two practical ways. First, do not be put off if your machine wears a Fisher & Paykel badge but the heater shows a Haier code — that is normal and expected for this platform. Second, always confirm by two things together: your model number (read it off the model sticker, usually inside the door or on the rear) and the part number printed on the old element once you remove it. If both match the listing title, you have the right part.
There is a closely related but separate heater for some other Fisher & Paykel condenser dryers. If your machine is a Fisher & Paykel model and it is not on the fitment list above, see our companion guide on the Fisher & Paykel condenser dryer not heating, where the alternative element (suiting DC8060P3, DE8060P1 and DE8060P2 variants) is sold separately at $109.85. Match by your model number plus the number printed on the old element so you order the correct one the first time. This page — the one you are reading — is the right place if your Fisher & Paykel or Haier-badged machine is on the list above.

How do I know my dryer heater has failed?
A failed heater rarely stops the machine. The drum keeps tumbling and the timer keeps counting, which is what makes a cold-air fault confusing. Look for these signs:
- Clothes are cold and damp at the end of a full cycle. This is the classic symptom of a dead element.
- Cycles run their full length but never feel warm through the door glass.
- No heat on any program, including the hottest settings.
- The machine trips your power or smells faintly of burnt dust, which can point to an element fault.
Before you blame the heater, rule out the simple things first: a blocked lint filter, a full water container that has stopped the cycle, or a clogged condenser unit can all restrict airflow and mimic a heating fault. If airflow is clear and the load still comes out cold, the heating element is the most likely cause. A multimeter check for continuity across the element terminals will confirm it: an open circuit means the element has failed and needs replacing.
How to replace the heater
Replacing the element is a straightforward job for a competent person, provided the machine is fully isolated from power first. The general steps are:
- Isolate the dryer. Switch off at the wall and unplug it. Do not rely on the program being finished — the heater circuit carries mains voltage.
- Access the heater. Depending on the model, this means removing the rear or lower panel. Keep the screws organised so reassembly is simple.
- Photograph the wiring. Before disconnecting anything, take a clear photo of the wires and terminals on the old element so you can match them exactly.
- Remove the old element. Disconnect the wiring and any earth, release the mounting screws or clips, and withdraw the old heater. Check the part number printed on it against the listing before fitting the new one.
- Fit the new heater. Seat it in the same orientation, secure the fixings, and reconnect the wiring and earth to match your photo.
- Refit panels and test. Reassemble fully, restore power, and run a short program. The air should warm within the first few minutes.
Take your time at the wiring stage. A loose or misplaced connector on a mains-voltage heater is the most common cause of a repeat fault.
When to call a technician vs DIY
The heater circuit in these dryers runs at mains voltage. If you are confident isolating the appliance, working methodically and reading a wiring layout, fitting the new element is well within reach of a competent person. Many of our customers are tradies and handy homeowners across the Northern Beaches and wider Sydney who do this work themselves.
Call a qualified technician if any of the following apply: you are unsure whether the heater is actually the fault; the machine has tripped power or shows signs of burning beyond the element itself; the wiring looks damaged or heat-affected; or you simply are not comfortable working near mains voltage. There is no shame in it — a qualified appliance technician will confirm the diagnosis, fit the part correctly and verify the machine is safe before handing it back. When in doubt, isolate the power and get a professional in.
Frequently asked questions
Does this heater fit both Fisher & Paykel and Haier dryers?
Yes. Fisher & Paykel and Haier are part of the same manufacturer group, and these dryers share a platform. The genuine heater fits the Fisher & Paykel-coded models (DC8060P1, DE8060P1, DE8060P2, DE8060P3) and the Haier-coded models (HD80-01, HDC80E1, HDHP90AN1, HDHP90ANB1).
How much is the dryer heater?
The genuine heater is $96.95 AUD, with same-day dispatch from our Sydney warehouse on orders placed before the daily cut-off.
My dryer is a Haier but the heater shows a Haier part number — is that right?
Yes. The heater for this platform carries a Haier part number regardless of whether the dryer is badged Fisher & Paykel or Haier. Confirm by matching your model number against the list and the number printed on your old element.
How do I find my model number?
Read it off the model sticker, usually located inside the door opening or on the rear of the machine. Match that number against the fitment list above to confirm this heater is correct for your dryer.
What if my model isn’t on the list?
If you have a Fisher & Paykel condenser dryer and your model is not on the list above, you may need the separate element covered in our Fisher & Paykel condenser dryer not heating guide. Match by your model number and the part number on the old element, or run our part-finder quiz to be sure.
Is this a genuine part?
Yes. This is the genuine Haier / Fisher & Paykel element, listed in the spec table as Genuine (Haier/F&P).
