Frigidaire Dryer Error Code E68 - How to Troubleshoot and Repair

[@Lawfulcitizen76]

I wish every “how to” video was made by this guy. Perfect, to the point, no nonsense. You sir are a legend.

[@stephencutting9627]

You cannot take everything at face value, I work on a Frigidaire dryer that gave me a E68 error but the problem was not the control board, it was one of the thermal cutouts for the heating elements.

[@jeffdsilva5031]

that's interesting! we are contemplating trying to find a new board for our dryer that has this same code, but perhaps it's not worth it...

[@richardhernandez9549]

Your info was exactly what I needed. One of my buttons was just a little bit wedged. You saved me from buying a new circuit board. Visually, I did not notice the button issue. Once I had the error that brought me to your video. Followed your instructions and found my dry button slightly wedged. I pressed it and it went back to normal. Awesome!

[@frankg7172]

Hey thanks so much for this video. KZbin comes through again and saves me money by teaching me a DYI repair. For my dryer I had to replace the control board as the error wouldn't go away even after freeing up the button. The challenge was procuring of the replacement board. I found one on Ebay, and voila! Repair completed in 30 minutes and for less than $90!

[@FaultRoutine300]

Great walk through video. Saved me a bunch of money from not having to call a service tech out to troubleshoot and replace what was ultimately a bad control board. Thanks!

[@gracehealy3223]

Thank you so much! I really can't thank you enough. My dryer has been beeping for 2 years but in the past month has been non-stop. I thought I needed a new dryer but found out that the new dryers would not fit on top of our washer...so we were looking at both a washer and dryer... both just 10 years old! I was distraught. Our only option was a new control panel or trying your solution. None of the buttons seemed to be stuck but I thought I would just do the troubleshooting that you suggested. All the buttons turned out to be OK. So, after I did the troubleshooting I turned the dryer off and then back on and the beeping stopped. I don't know why but I am so grateful for your video. Thank you so much.

[@andymurray7663]

Had this error code and followed this very detailed & well done video. Unfortunately, it looks like other issues can cause this error code, as I did the troubleshooting and got the button that was the issue but I tested all buttons on the circuit board and they operate correctly. DId this by doing a continuity test on each when pressed/not pressed. Ordered a replacement board. Appreciate the video. Very helpful on testing & disassembly.

[@youngmanchego]

You prevented much swearing. Thank you.

[@cindyyoung3134]

OH my goodness your video helped me diagnose the problem with my dryer! Saved me big bucks Thanks

[@ejack726]

I have Frigidaire Dryer Gallery Series, It looks like the same model you are showing in the video. Model #GLEQ2152EE. I have flashing Lights on the Dash Board Under the Timer Display. No other lights are flashing. But the Lights that are under the Dryness button moves on it own from top to bottom and back. I have no error code on the machine so I'm not sure what I'm looking for. When I hit the start or cancel button the machine acts as it will start working properly. When I hit the Start button to start a load to dry, it will start for a few second and then stop. While it is turning I can see inside of the machine and see the heat is on, but then it stops and Then the lights will start flashing again and the machine will stop. But the lights just keep flashing...

[@Montana2006]

[@sarahhannapel5923]

Thanks - going to try it. But, how do you remove the top of the dryer before you start removing screws to control panel - don't see any screws to do?

[@donmaclaren4409]

My man, just saved me . Thanks

[@morenoperez2002]

Thank you Bill! I couldn't have done it without your help. Thank you again for your guidance.

[@renesimard1319]

Thanks for making this brother!! Not taken for granted.. very grateful

[@ФранцыскСкарына-ы1я]

That is very helpful! Thank you very much!!!

[@ika9053]

Very helpful! Followed the instructions, the E68 error is gone. Dryer now displaying Err and beeps.

[@littlekrn759]

Great video and super useful. But I am having a problem finding the broken piece now.... FML. I am looking online and no luck. The piece I need is the plastic piece that links the button to the motherboard.

[@sarahhannapel5923]

Now that I tested everything and all lights came on, dryer wont work at all. Before it was running. How do I go back to normal?

[@cdaniels7962]

Hi ! How do I get out of diagnostic mode after doing all this? Many thanks!

[@veronicadiazdeleon197]

Tyvm I enjoy watching your videos, always get it done with your help :)

[@josevega2851]

thanks' for all your videos Bill, those are helpful you are with God now, thanks for everything and blessings for for all your family. thanks, thanks thanks thanks,,,,

[@djdoctorstyle]

My problem was the option button. I applied a small drop of WD40 on the inside button, clicked it a few times and voila! working.

[@popsmccartney435]

Thanks for sharing

[@SheilaSpencer1]

I get this error frequently; jiggling the button (usually the pause/cancel) always releases it. No disassembly required.

[@ChrisBrown-jt7dg]

GR8 video I have the E68 code After running test like the one in this video all lights are lighting up no stuck buttons

[@oldschoolcars3318]

Model Gleq2152eso front face looks same but sequence does not work?

[@garrettpeterson9816]

Haha, my issue was the option button was stuck in! easiest fix ever, lol

[@curtieson]

Mine is the Dryness button thinking it is being pressed! Did taking it apart and playing with the button/clicking it a bunch do enough to fix it for you?

[@garrettpeterson9816]

curtieson it was literally just pressed in so I just pushed it and unpressed it. That fixed it for me

[@curtieson]

Well shoot...mine is not. But it will work for a couple weeks then not work for a day. I've found on those days when it isn't working I can just put it into "test the heat and spin" mode for 30-45 minutes and it gets the job done.

[@captaingenius-o1c]

Bill, have you ever BYPASSED the wiring for the lights that are not working...For instance on mine, the 3 lights with press saver isn't responding...Those lights don't get adjusted much....Already tried your steps and even sprayed the front and back button that wasn't responding(although was clicking on the back) with wd40......I thought, well why not just skip those wires, and connect the rest of the wires....Any thoughts?

[@joshthibs123]

Is there a way to bypass this? Or do I have to just buy a board because I’ve exhausted all options

[@johnchilson8919]

yep, 20 minutes and dryer good as new. stuck button. thank you...

[@patrankin1773]

Can you tell me what to do if all of the buttons lite up then stay flashing.

[@antonial4777]

after the test my lights stayed lit up on the dryness button. does that mean it's stuck?

[@sherrisurles1155]

Need to ask a question, I got my control board in the mail and it said to take ESD electrostatic precautions before removing board from bag. Said you needed a ESD wristband, gloves and ground. What??? I thought I was just going to replace it. Can you elaborate for me how to set that up to replace my part. I don’t want to kill my new board from static. Help!!!

[@davarhak]

I have e68 error for 3 years but still it works after you show us to push two buttons to eleminate code 68 i just turn the button n it works for 30 to 60 minutesvn dry the clothes

[@markowensby4210]

your vid was awesome thanks friend

[@jimgleckler5194]

Hi Bill, our Frigidaire Affinity dryer looks different from yours; after the first 2 steps (turn timer to normal, 4 clicks to the right followed by 6 second hold on both select and cancel), the 4 second hold on the cancel and start/pause buttons doesn’t do the expected. Any suggestions?

[@richiecr125]

Frigidaire gleq2152eso. Do you have a video to replace the control panel.

[@Вит-б1н]

Скажите пожалуйста, стоит ли покупать такую машинку?

[@ormichalovich1123]

Hi Bill I tried the test and I got code 070 what does that mean?

[@patriceh49]

I tried you suggestions and got up to the R e 5 but when I press the start and cancel buttons the panel jumps to "TOWELS" 1:00 and I can't get any further....any suggestions. Thanks

[@alexburnett6503]

Thanks you so much

[@fredcalisto8165]

does anyone know where to order this part and what is the number of the new panel...please

[@Keylargomanatees]

I bought a red affinity frigidaire dryer and two days later it stopped heating and would cut off 15 minutes after starting. the number thing just turns to a square and runs in a circle motion! Help! lol

[@jimbola77]

nice job!!!

[@rebeccawhitehead8251]

I have a Frigidaire Affinity dryer what is the code E64

[@eagle___empire3175]

So I have this same dryer. Im not getting heat how can I get a code by doing this? I already checked all the components in the washer with my multimeter. All checked out fine.

[@san379]

HOPE YOU CAN FIX THEM ALL INSTEAD OF PITCHING THEM ALL.. PS.. CAN YOU BUY JUST 1 BUTTON?

[@21codyo]

san379 did you find out if you can replace a button?

[@cinthyatrana7876]

ERROR E5B? Solution???

[@philippebeaudoin7006]

i fucking love you Bill

[@kimberleehayes2718]

You didn't say how to fix it

[@anitabutler7884]

I enjoyed your video but I can't seem to find your website to enter the contest. I did subscribe to your KZbin channel maybe I can enter this way. I'm not sure what you're giving away it would be awesome if it was an appliance maybe by the grace of God I can enter thank you so much. Anita Butler

[@craiglistacc5978]

lmao how do you get into test mode if a stuck not sticky button is the problem good video just not the sharpest tool in the shed ...

[@bill_wilcox1006]

The Function Test Sequence was tough to capture but was very good to have. Many thanks I took the liberty of typing it out in Word.docx. Let me know how I can get it to you for your consideration... I was not able to Paste it here.
