Hello,

Welcome to FixYa.

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



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.

To investigate further the console would need to be serviced/torn-down. I'd try the suggested test program first though, i.e.



If you think this is something you can perform let me know and I'll try to assist you in that manner. If the print here is too small to be clear, if you post an email address I can send you the test program and error clear mode, it's up to you.

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 :)

Hi Steve HixHere are a few things to check:ALWAYS UNPLUG YOUR DRYER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DO ANY WORK ON IT. Check to make sure you are getting full 220 Volt power to the dryer, if you are then:Check your WiringOften the main wiring connection from the house, at the dryer, burns and the connection breaks. If this has happened to your dryer, you need to replace the power cord and the terminal block inside the dryer to which the wire is attached.Check the Door SwitchIf the door switch or the door-switch actuator is defective, the dryer won't work and you need to replace the failed component. The switch is inside the dryer main housing near the door frame. Sometimes you need to raise or open the top or front of the dryer to reach the switch. Check for continuity you should have none with door open, and should have a reading when closed. If not replace the door switch.Check to make sure you heating problem is not a lint build up in the discharge hose or inside of the dryer venting system,as this condition can cause heater/thermistor problems such as overheating of the heating coil leading to failure of the coil and burnout of the thermostat/thermistor due to overheat. Remove the back/or front just under the door of the machine and try to locate the air duct going from the blower to the drum. Normally inside/outside the air duct you will find the heating coil and the thermostats/thermistors. Once you have located the heating coil, remove the two wires from it and check the coil with an ohm meter across the two terminals of the coil.You should read continuity across the terminals, if you do not read continuity you will need to replace the coil as it is faulty. If the heating coil is ok, then: You can check the thermostat/thermistor/thermal fuse one at a time by removing the two wires and taping them together with electrical tape.Try to run the dryer, if it runs and heats up then replace the thermal fuse/thermistor/thermostat.If you have an ohm meter then you can test the thermostat/thermistor/thermal fuse,then you do not have to tape the wires together as described above.But do not trust the ohm meter all the time, because sometimes it will give a false positive that the fuse is ok when in reality it is faulty.DO THE FOLLOWING TEST:To test your thermostat/thermistor/thermal fuse remove the wires from the thermostat/thermistor/thermal fuse and check the fuse/thermostat,thermistor for continuity, if you DO NOT have continuity then replace the thermostat/thermistor/thermal fuse.DO NOT LEAVE THE WIRES TAPED TOGETHER AFTER THE TEST AS THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE BECAUSE YOU HAVE REMOVED THE SAFETY.This test of the thermal fuses,thermistor,thermostat, will show if the thermal fuse,thermostat,thermister is really faulty or not.Check your blower wheel to make sure it is secure to the shaft and not plugged with lint,socks,etc. If you have to replace your blower wheel it will remove clockwise as looking at the blower wheel. You will have to hold the belt end of the motor with a vise grip pliers or maybe the shaft of the motor has a notch cut on it for a wrench to fit.If the thermal fuse overheats the dryer will not operate. It's located on the blower housing. It cannot be reset. You can test it with an Ohm meter or continuity checker, remove both wires from the thermal fuse and put the test probes to each of the ends of the thermal fuse, if no continuity then replace the thermal fuse.If you do not have a volt/ohm meter then:DO THE FOLLOWING: Remove the wires and tape them together and try to start the dryer.If the dryer starts then replace the fuse.A vent clogged with lint can cause it to overheat. Right after replacing a dryer element, always run the dryer on air fluff/no heat, and go outside to verify there's plenty of air coming out your vent system.If the vent's clogged, that new element can burn out very quickly.

Hello Patty Hanna - Typically error code AD indicates that the Auto Dry option has been selected. Using no heat in any Auto Dry cycle will result in long drying times and/or wet loads at the end of cycle. I would suggest selecting other option or resetting the unit. You may either unplug it or flip the household breaker off for approximately two minutes. Restart unit, select a normal cycle and verify if it will heat. If the dryer does not heat the unit it could possibly have a faulty heating element, blower assembly or a communication problem with the control panel. Contact a professional to move forward accurately.

Hello amustangfan - Typically this (not a do it yourself job) is something that you want a certified professional to install for you due to safety and liability reasons. They also usually warranty their labor just in case something else may turn out to be the root cause of your initial problem. Consider contacting your manufacturer for more details on who in your area can properly install this part.

Hello Anne Truhlar - Try resetting the unit by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately 30 seconds and turn on the fuse for the dryer. Turn on the dryer and select a normal cycle. If the dryer continues to overheat then I suggest contacting a professional to accurately diagnose and repair the dryer. The unit could possibly have a defective control board, power supply (240V), heating element, sensor or high limit thermostat.

go to www.repairclinic.com and buy it When you replace the circuit board, see if everything is o.k belt, motor, timer,fuse , thermal fuse, etc.However you must install it and RUN again. and see if your problem is fix it.God bless you

I would check out the UK WHICH website.

You will need to replace the thermistor. Here is a link to the part.

How often does it beep and does it flash any error codes at all?

What is the error code you see?

Does it have issues draining or spinning?

If you don't see an alpha-numeric error code then I would contact a professional to assess the draining pump and hose. You might be able to access this yourself to see if there is any blockage in the lines.

You need to inspect the dryer for a bad rear bearing. I made 2 videos:Tappan dryer bearing westinghouse/frigidaire dryer If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/dan_73bbd84fe1d95b61
