You are going to need a new timer for the dryer.

This should help .... Frigidaire Dryer Error Code E68 How to Troubleshoot and Repair Good luck on your trouble shooting!

There is a piece of felt with 3 pads on it that the drum rides on. Those pads wear over time. It is located near top of door panel. That panel will need to be removed to replace felt.

Are you mechanically inclined? You may have several problems. 1st, heating element is most likely burnt out. Then I would check ball and socket assembly that back of drum fits into. Also check felt in front of machine that drum rides on. May need competent service person on this.

If you replaced the control panel with the a new one with the exact same part number - check your connections / plugs to be sure you didn't reverse or swap one by accident.

Good Afternoon Friend, I understand that your Frigidaire dryer door keeps popping open during the cycle. I suggest making sure that the door has been completely closed before starting the cycle. If this is done, and the door is still popping open, there might be something going on with the door latch. I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose your appliance and determine why the door keeps opening mid-cycle. Hope this is helpful. -Best regards- WP

read the whole manual no code e61 ?

READING ERROR CODES

1. Rotate cycle selector knob to the 3 O'clock position.

2. Press and hold the Select and Pause Cancel buttons simultaneously for six seconds.

3. Immediately after, press and hold the START and Pause Cancel buttons simultaneously for 4 seconds.

4. Rotate the cycle selector knob to the 2 O'clock position. The four indicator lights of Drying, Cool Down, Wrinkle Rid

(Press Saver), and Clean Lint Filter will flash the number of times for the first digit of the code and the START indicator

light will flash the number of times for the second digit. Take separate counts of each indicator light, then repeat to

confirm in order to be accurate in identifying the proper error code. The code is obtained by counting the number of times

the lights flash. Example E24: The four indicator lights would flash twice indicating the 2 and the START indicator light

will flash four times indicating the 4. The four indicator lights and the START indicator light start flashing at the same

time. The control will pause for 2 seconds, then repeat the code.

NOTE: A letter appearing in the code stands for a number higher than nine. A = 10 B = 11 C = 12 D = 13 E = 14 F = 15

Example Code E4A: the first digit would be 4 and the second digit would be 10. The four indicator lights would blink four

times and the START indicator light would blink ten times. Troubleshoot the problem by using the chart below.

To move on to the next code, press the OPTIONS button.

To clear code, press the Select button. Code will be cleared when mode is exited.

To exit this mode, simultaneously press and hold the Select and Pause Cancel buttons for six seconds.

E4A Program Timeout

Fault

The drying time has exceeded

program time for that cycle.

Press Pause Cancel and SELECT buttons for 6 seconds to exit test modes.

Position cycle selector to NORMAL, temperature selector to HIGH HEAT

and touch START. Check for anything that would extend dry times such as:

no heat, restricted vent, blower fan blade broken or loose, dryer installed in

relay) on electronic control. If meter reads 240V on electric models and

120V on gas models, replace electronic control. If meter reads zero, remove

power from dryer. Disconnect wire going to NO terminal on the relay RL2.

Reconnect power and measure voltage drop between terminal COM on

relay RL2 and neutral. If meter reads zero, wire between incoming line and

relay RL2 is open. If meter reads 120V, check the rest of the heater circuit.

Good Afternoon David, I understand you are receiving a bad motor vibration on your Frigidaire dryer. I see that you replaced the fins on the blower, only to have them break again. I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose your appliance and determine what is causing the vibration noise, as well as the blower fins to break. Hope this is helpful. -Best Regards- WP

Not neccessarily the cool cycle uses less power and pressure from the motor, the winedings on motor may be bad or going out? does it shut down after 20-30 minutes of running? u may also want to check ur venting and ur thermostats the cycling and the thermal cut off, if ur having an over heating problem they can and will shut off the cycle as a safety precaution

Hi Keith, this is Z. I am happy to assist you! If you are receiving error code PAUSE, it commonly indicates that the door of your dryer is not securely latched or the cycle has been interrupted. Try pressing "PAUSE/CANCEL" or "START/PAUSE" once to resume cycle. If these basic troubleshooting tips prove ineffective, try reprogramming your appliance by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. It is good to wait approximately ten minutes and then turn your dryer on. If the issue persists, then your dryer could possibly have a faulty door latch or experiencing a communication error with the control board. I would personally contact a professional to accurately diagnose your appliance to determine the root cause to reduce the risk of unnecessary parts. Best regards!

Need to know what model but for my Gallery series, I actually found one through a laptop repair site for $162. I know, sounds corny but it worked just fine. Just don't throw away the old one until it's completely up and running, you'll need every button and switch for the swap.

Start relay is shot

Good Afternoon Friend, I understand that your Frigidaire dryer, model# FDE336RES0, buzzes when the start button is pressed. I also see that it starts then stops after a few minutes. I suggest checking the cycle selector and making sure that it is not loose or has not come off. If this is not the case, I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. Hope this is helpful. -Best Regards- WP
