A used dryer normally runs between 50 to 75 dollars in local papers. You can find them also on local internet websites like Craigslist.

I have a family of 6 and my kids are now grown up now but it is still the cheapest way rather than throw your money away on a new dryer or pay to have it fixed. Just thought that I would let you know that. Good Luck. By the way it is very easy to replace the heater relay if you are tech savvy. Good luck.

Good Morning Chris scotney, thanks for your post!

Based off the information you have provided your Frigidaire dryer is displaying an error code of "E61" and it is no longer operating. The "E61" code stands for heater relay failure which could be an issue with your heater relay, connections, or main control board. I would recommend performing a reset on your dryer and you can do that by flipping the household circuit breaker off for roughly ten minutes. If this does not help to correct your issue I would suggest having a professional technician out due to the fact it could be one of these underlying electrical issues. A technician will have the appropriate tools needed in order to check every electrical component to pinpoint the issue. I hope this information is helpful. -Matt

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-

Error 61

Looks like E61 is a heat relay related.
Does the dryer heat OK?

Frigidaire Affinity Error Code 61

Hello - Could the error code possibly be an EB1? If so, it is recommended for the power company to check the frequency of the incoming power to the washer. If it proves to be correct, then the main control board may need replacing.

Error Code E68 on frigidaire affinity dryer. dryer will run about 2 minutes and then shut down with error code E68

Frigidaire Affinity dryer model AEQ7000ESO error code E68 (stuck button). Sometimes a 'stuck button' code really is a stuck button. I took the circuit board off the front panel.On the back side of the front panel, each button has 3 short plastic posts, 2 on one side and 1 on the other.The center part moves to push a longer piece that contacts the circuit board. When I push the top of a front stadium-shaped button, the center plastic piece moves too far, touches the short post, and sticks (maybe due to age). When I push the bottom of the front button, the plastic piece goes far enough to contact the circuit board and not far enough to touch the short post. To prevent a stuck button, we now press the bottom of the front buttons.So far so good. If it happens again, I plan to shave or file a little bit off the top edge of the post to give it more clearance. 1st photo: pencil points to stuck parts. 2nd photo: unstuck parts, 3rd photo: the front of our dryer. 68a7d368-523a-4ad9-b13a-20009dc9f567.jpg
