Hello,welcome to FixYa.

The E68 is indicating a push button is stuck, refer to this chart below for explanation and potential remedy.

cuts off after a couple of minutes with error - macmarkus_361.jpg

The reason this is happening can be for a couple of reasons. When a button is pushed, the contact inside the control is sticking in the "closed" position, or the plastic button which activates the switch, is binding on the console and not allowed to return via the small spring which insures it does under normal conditions.


Let me know how you make out or if anything is not clear and I'll help in whatever manner I can going forward. Good luck.

Regards,

Macmarkus :)

What is an error code e-68 on a galaxy series dryer mean

E68 error code is a stuck button error code. You can try to wiggle each button on the control panel to make sure they are all functioning freely. If so, then unplug the dryer and leave it unplugged a couple minutes then plug the dryer back in to clear the electronic panel's error code. If the panel still shoes E68, then you'll need to replace the panel. Part#134557201

Hope this helps!!

Frigidaire affinity dryer error 68 and hot to touch

Hey friend, thank you for allowing me to assist you!

I understand that you are getting an E68 error code on your Frigidaire Affinity dryer, it usually stands for a key (button) that is stuck closed (active). Let's try entering a "Function Test Mode" and perform the Key Test to determine which button could be the problem. To perform "Function Test Mode": Press and hold START and the CANCEL button at the same time for 10 seconds. The key that is stuck should blink. Free the key and perform the test again. If the button is free but the error code still exists, the electronic control will more than likely need to be replaced after it has been properly diagnosed by a professional. If you need help in contacting a technician you can view the manufacturer website to find available technicians in your area. Hope this is helpful. -Matt

Error code 68

Good Morning Mua_m7,

I see that you are having trouble with your Frigidaire washer giving you an E68 error code. The E68 could be one or both of two possibilities.

First, it could be the heating element. If the heating element goes out, this means that you would be unable to get the water temperatures to hotter temperatures.

Second, it could be something going on with the main control board inside your washer.

With you receiving the E68 error code, I suggest that you give your washer a hard reset, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your home's circuit breaker for 2-3 minutes. When you restore the power, if you are still receiving the E68 error code, I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Frigidare AEQ600es2 does not heat. Reports error code E68, but all buttons seem to work.

You will nee The error code E68 is a stuck button error code. I recommend checking each button to make sure it loose in the plastic console. The button should rock side to side a little bit. If all the buttons are loose you can try to reset the unit control by unplugging the dryer for two minutes. If the error code comes back you will need to replace the unit control.

Our dryer is beeping and is displaying an error code of E68. I hit Cancel to try to reset it, and it goes back to numbers (20 minutes or whatever), then after a couple seconds goes back to E68. I hit...

I found via a Google search that E68 means one of the keys is jammed. Looking at it, it was pretty obvious which one, so I pushed it in and re-centered it in its casing. That did the trick.
