Six washer dryer codes carry one label, sensor error. The article has no owner fix and points to a service repair.
Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so E3 / E31 / E34 / E35 … may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Sensor error on the Fisher & Paykel washer dryer, with a service repair as the article's advice.
Fisher & Paykel’s help article for the washer dryer gives six codes, E3, E31, E34, E35, E23 and ECT, the same heading: sensor error. Beyond that heading there is no description.
Guidance for owners
A few messages come with fixes, such as a dirty lint filter, a door that refuses to lock and a “NO Water” display, but sensor errors are not among them. Fault codes lacking a fix share a single recommendation: arrange a repair and keep the code on hand so support can work quicker.
The six codes
E3, E31 and E34
E35, E23 and ECT
All six carry the identical label. E36 is on the washer dryer’s sensor list too, yet it has a page of its own, since the front loader help article uses E36 for a control-board fault.
Gaps in the article
Which sensor, what triggers the error, and whether the six numbers differ in meaning are all left unsaid. Drum, temperature or water-level sensors could each be named, and none is. Treat the six as a single reported fault and leave the identification of the sensor to a technician.
Routine care from the article
Clean the lint filter every load.
Keep the code to hand when calling.

Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
