20 Most Recent Frigidaire Electric Dryer - Page 5 Questions & Answers

Hi Jon, thank you for your inquiry! Let's try resetting the dryer by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker to the off position. It is important to wait roughly ten minutes and then turn unit on. Confirm that the door is properly latched and try selecting a cycle. If resetting the power does not correct the issue, it could potentially mean a number of things: a potential wiring failure, damaged cord, faulty door latch assembly or control board. Because it could be a number of any one of several underlying causes, I would recommend contacting a professional to properly pinpoint the exact problem, which can often save you funds and a headache.

Hello byseltrd03 - Try resetting the dryer by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and turn the dryer back on. Check that the power cord is not damaged. Otherwise the dryer may possibly be experiencing more serious issues such as; wiring failure, faulty control board, thermal limiter, or defective door switch. Should all troubleshooting measures fail, I strongly recommend contacting a local professional for further diagnosis. You can often locate qualified servicers by visiting the manufacturer directly.

Hello Curtis - Typically, error code E61 indicates a Heater Relay failure. At first the heater was grounded, and now possibly the heater relay. When the heater grounded it could have shorted the relay as well. Generally it is a good idea to have a professional take a look at it to get to the root cause. Cost of parts and technical expertise entailed in these types of replacements can be a bit tricky.

A FixYa tech helped in troubleshooting the problem and helped me find the replacement part, the control board. I replaced it myself and my dryer is no longer driving me crazy. Thanks!

Hi kirst_alers2 - From what you have described it sounds like you either have a problem with the belt, front (and/or rear) bearing, or a loose connection with the motor or drum. Lint or something else clogging the vent could be causing the dryer to take a longer time to dry the clothing. If the dryer is taking too long to dry then the issue may lie with a faulty sensor. I recommend contacting a professional to accurately diagnose the issue, the part(s) may have to be replaced depending if they are worn, damaged or loose. You can often locate a qualified tech through the manufacturer website.

This unit does not have an actual fuse per say but a thermal limiter which acts very similar. What concerns are you experiencing with the dryer appliance? Is it not turning on or not heating properly? Please let me know so I can further help you! Good luck!

Hello shelljones37 - Try resetting the unit by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and turn on the dryer.

At this point, I suggest contacting a professional to accurately diagnosis the dryer and to assist with the repairs.

Hi Dan Flynn - Try reprogramming the dryer by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes, restart unit and select a normal cycle.

Should all basic troubleshooting measures fail, I strongly recommend contacting a local professional for a further diagnosis.

Hello tancrbtt - It sounds like your unit may have one or more problems.

Hello Tommy - Do you need instructions on how to install the control board? If so, usually this type of information is not release to someone who is not a technician and it is very rare to find enough information to do it yourself. In most cases this information can be found on the internet; however it is not provided directly from the manufacturer. Typically this is something that you want a professional to install/remove for you due to safety and liability reasons. Usually the certified technicians warranty their labor just in case something else may turn out to be the root cause of your initial problem and it does work out better to your advantage. Consider contacting your manufacturer for more details on who in your area may guide you through this process.
