H0180500548A Genuine Inverted Control Panel for Fisher & Paykel Clothes Dryers, Upside Down Wall Mount Dryer Fascia Panel

H0180500548A is a genuine inverted control panel for Fisher & Paykel clothes dryers. When a dryer is wall mounted upside down, an inverted panel is used so the printed settings read the right way up. This is the inverted partner of the standard H0180500548 panel. If your dryer stands on the floor or sits right way up on a stand, you need the standard version instead.

Replacing a dryer control panel

The control panel is the front console of the dryer, carrying the program and setting markings around the controls. Panels get cracked by knocks, discoloured by sun and heat, or have their printing worn off with years of use. A broken panel can also let the controls sit loose, making settings hard to choose. On a wall mounted dryer the panel is at eye level, so a faded or cracked one stands out. Whether knobs, switches or electronics come fitted isn't on file, so compare with your old panel and plan to transfer anything that isn't included.

Fitting the panel

Unplug the dryer and, if it's wall mounted, get a helper or take it down so you can work safely. Pull off any knobs, then remove the screws or clips holding the panel. Photograph every wire and plug before moving any switches or boards across. Fit the new panel, refit the controls and check every setting works before mounting the dryer back in place.

Questions about this part

How do I know if I need an inverted panel?

If your dryer is mounted on the wall upside down, so the controls end up near the bottom, you need the inverted panel so the markings read the right way up. If it stands upright on the floor or a stand, order the standard panel instead.
