E 01 display and beeping

The Frigidaire AEQ8000FE electric dryer is displaying the 50 and start/stop lights blinking randomly with periodic beeping. Pressing the control panel clears the issue, but it returns after a few minutes. Despite this issue, the dryer is working properly.

Clean the filter

if the dryer is beeping on it's own most likely you have a bad board part WP8563974

My dryer did the same thing, it was so distrubing noise in the middle of drying cycles, so I turned off the sound switch it went away, now it doesn’t peep any more.

Depending on the dryer, it could simply be the wrinkle guard setting. This is the case with my Kenmore (Whirlpool) dryer.

Could be overloaded. Try running it empty. If it runs put in half a load and see if it dries.

The motor in the front is the dryer motor. This will keep running until the dry cycle is complete. If it is beeping and there is no other display or light flashing then this motor is faulty and needs replacement.

Your control is faulty and will need to be replaced. Access to it is gained by removing the top panel.

We had this error on our machine for about a year before we finally got sick and tired of it. Our dryer was purchased in 2006.

Here is the solution: the code means there is an error on the thermistor. Our thermistor was loose, as were other electrical wires. My husband tightened up all the connections and the thermistor, and we have never had this error again.

However, we will never buy these machines again either, because we have had numerous other errors on the washer and dryer.
