Why it pays to match your Washing Machine and Dryer
April 2, 2026-3 min read
When it comes to laundry, spotless results start with the right appliances. A matched washing machine and dryer set doesn’t just look good – it works smarter. From matching capacity to synced cycles, pairing your Fisher & Paykel washing machine with a Fisher & Paykel heat pump dryer takes the guesswork out of settings and protects your clothes, towels and bedding for longer.
“By designing washers and dryers to complement each other, Fisher & Paykel takes the thinking out of laundry,” says Peter Simic, The Good Guys Buyer – Laundry. “The result is consistently better care for your favourite garments, and loads that come out perfectly dry, soft and looking their best – every single time.”
That’s exactly the thinking behind the latest Fisher & Paykel Series 7 laundry pairing. The 10kg Series 7 Contemporary Front Loader Washer and the 10kg Series 7 Contemporary Heat Pump Dryer are engineered as a duo, sharing a common approach to fabric care, efficiency and ease of use.
Here’s why this Fisher & Paykel dream team works better together…

Why matching your washer and dryer actually matters
“Choosing appliances from the same range means they’re designed with the same priorities in mind – cycle logic, fabric care, load sizes and performance expectations,” says Peter Simic.
So, is Fisher & Paykel a good brand to consider for matching laundry appliances?
“Absolutely. A coordinated Fisher & Paykel washer and dryer help maintain consistency rather than forcing loads through mismatched settings,” explains Peter. “For households that do a lot of laundry, that consistency adds up to better results and fewer clothing casualties over time.”
Start with a Fisher & Paykel washing machine
The Fisher & Paykel Series 7 Front Loader Washer sets the foundation with intelligent wash tech and a generous 10kg capacity perfect for families. Plus, you get…
Smarter detergent use
Everyday life runs more smoothly when you don’t have to think about the small stuff. The FlexiDose system takes care of detergent and softener for you, automatically measuring the perfect amount for each load to avoid wastage. Active Mix blends detergent with water before it hits your dirty laundry, helping it soak in evenly and clean more effectively. With two FlexiDose reservoirs holding enough for up to 21 washes, you can cross one more thing off your to-do list – while your clothes, sheets and towels stay softer and in better shape for longer.
Specialised cycles for every load
From everyday Cotton to delicate Down, this Fisher & Paykel washing machine adjusts each wash to suit the fabric inside. Woollens are cared for with Woolmark Black certified wool cycles, while smart sensors get to work to determine colour, item type and soil level to fine-tune performance even further. Intelligent tech does the thinking for you, delivering a thorough clean while helping to protect fibres.
A machine that fits your routine
Life doesn’t always fit neatly around laundry days. That’s why the Fisher & Paykel Series 7 Front Loader adapts to your schedule, not the other way around. Crease Free reduces wrinkles when you can’t unload immediately, while Steam Refresh renews clothes that have been in storage without you having to wait for a full wash cycle before wear. You can even control cycles remotely via the SmartHQ app so whether you’re at home or on the go, your laundry stays on track – effortless, efficient and ready when you are.

Add a Fisher & Paykel dryer
This Fisher & Paykel 10kg Series 7 Contemporary Heat Pump Dryer is designed to mirror the washer’s care-first approach. Lower drying temperatures help protect fibres, while sensor-controlled cycles prevent overdrying. When paired with a washer that prepares clothes properly, the dryer can work more efficiently and gently. Here’s why you want one…
Heat pump tech for gentle, smart drying
Laundry feels simple when your dryer works as thoughtfully as you do. Fisher & Paykel heat pump dryers combine precise temperature control with moisture sensing to dry clothes gently and efficiently. With a wider temperature range than previous models, this Series 7 dryer’s cycles are tuned to the natural moisture in every fibre. Dense fabrics such as down get low-temperature care that preserves loft and warmth, so your favourite jackets and bedding come out fluffy and cosy.
Keeps activewear in shape
No one likes a twisted, stretched-out workout top. TangleProtect tech in this Fisher & Paykel clothes dryer gently moves your activewear through alternating drum motions, preventing tangles while protecting fibres such as elastane. The result? Leggings, sports bras and fitted pieces maintain their stretch, shape and supportive fit – so your gear performs as well as you do, cycle after cycle.
Protects your favourite knits
Machine-washable wool deserves a delicate touch. Woolmark Black certified cycles dry your knits with care, preventing shrinking or stretching while preserving softness, structure, and fit. Every jumper, scarf or fine knit comes out feeling just as cosy, comfortable and perfectly shaped as when you first bought it – ready to wear or layer straight from the dryer.
