Remove your lint filter. Now remove the waffled plastic that covers the lint filter slot. Hint, its inside the dryer, and there's two screws holding it in. Be careful when you pull it out, because there's two wires connected to the metal strip on the bottom edge of it. That metal strip is either the temperature or moisture sensor, I bet. Don't drop the screws into the lint filter slot. If yours is like mine, you'll find that a lot of lint has built up around the contacts for those two wires. Carefully clean all the lint (use soft toothbrush), and reinstall. While you have it opened up, stick your vacuum's crevice tool down inside the lint filter slot and clean up all the lint in there as best you can. Problem solved. I think the build up of lint was shorting the two contacts, and this was screwing up the electronics.

What is Frigidaire gallery dryer code e68

I appreciate your post, friend!

From what you have described your Frigidaire dryer is showing a "E68" error code. "E68" usually indicates that one of the keys (buttons) is stuck closed (active). You may enter "Function Test Mode" and perform Key Test to determine which button is at fault. To perform the "Function Test Mode": Press and hold the START and CANCEL button at the same time for 10 seconds. The stuck key should blink. Carefully free the key and perform the test again after proper diagnosis. If button is free but the error code still exists, the electronic control will more than likely need replacing. If you do not have a professional connection, you have the option to visit the manufacturer website to find a service provider in your area. Hope this helps! -Matt

What does code E68 mean?

Hello Erik;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service appliance technician.

The code E68 appears when one of the buttons on the keypad is stuck in the down position. This is a common error with several different Frigidaire dryer models and tends to occur when the dryer is five or more years old. You may be able to un-stick the offending key manually. If not, you will need to replace the entire keypad.

What does error code E68 mean?

Hello Friend, this is Z. Thank you for your question!

If you are getting an error code E68 on your Frigidaire dryer, it usually indicates that one of the keys (buttons) is stuck closed (active). Let's perform Key Test to determine which button is at fault by entering "Function Test Mode". To perform the "Function Test Mode", doing the following:

Press and hold the START and CANCEL button at the same time for roughly 10 seconds. The stuck key should blink.

Carefully free the key and perform the test again after proper diagnosis. If button is free but the error code still exists, the electronic control will more than likely need replacing after proper diagnosis.

Frigidaire affinity LEQ6000ES2 error code e68...dryer will not start

Good Afternoon David,

I understand that your Frigidaire Affinity dryer, model# LEQ6000ES2, is showing you an error code of E68 and will not start. I also see that you have changed the thermal limiter. Looking at what the E68 error code means, a key or button stuck, there could be something else causing the code to come up. I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose your appliance, determine what is causing the E68, and repair your dryer. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

I have a frigidaire dryer that it run few minutes and then stop.the scren shows E68 error code. What is the problem and how can I fix it?

E68 is a stuck button check all of the buttons if you can't unstick you will have to replace contol.
Be sure to unplug your dryer before starting any work on it.
You can replace it, just remove the top and then the screws holding the panel, slide to one side and lift out, lay it on a table or on top of the dryer and swap the panel. Good Luck, I hope this helps

The dryer gives E68 it starts running dor 30

the code 68 on the aeq7000es series is indicative of stuck buttons [your control buttons on the front]They sometimes stick in the closed position or go open [fail] and I have found the bad switch and replaced just the bad switch[ there should be a series of test to determine which switch button is bad] and if the switch buttons are testing good ,then it's control panel time. The control panels are about $150.00 on ebay ,sometimes you can find a "make offer" deal,but their few and far between.
