Affinity Dryer code E66

My dryer stops a few minutes into the cycle and displays either a E66 code or a "door open" message (even though door is closed). This is a continuous problem. It is hard to clear the message and re-start. The unit has been looked at twice thus far.

It could be the door is coming open just enough to trigger the switch to the off position. Even though the door looks closed it could be partially open. Most likely the clips that hold the door shut are not tight enough that when the clothes hit the door it pops open a little bit. These clips are basically springs and over time they loosen up.

Try this. Set the timer. Open the door, press and hold the light switch. Rotate the drum by hand then while still holding the light switch turn on the dryer. If it starts then clos the door while removing your finger quickly. If this problem persists it could be the starter on your motor.

How much is a control board for a fridaire affinity dryer?

Hello Friend, thank you for allowing me to assist you!

I see that you would like to know the pricing of a replacement control board for your Frigidaire dryer. May I please have your model number? The serial tag, which lists your model number, is typically located on upper front as you open the door. With this information I can better address the issue at hand.

In the meantime, error code E66 is associated with the heating element relay. A technician would typically check the ohm resistance of the relay to determine if it is the cause of the error code. If the readings are incorrect, the heating element more than likely needs replacing. If the readings are incorrect, it could potentially be the main control board. This is not a normal DIY job so you may want to connect with a local technician to determine the exact diagnosis. I hope this helps! - Z

Frigidaire FASG7073LW0 error "E66 HEATER" then "DOOR OPEN"

Hello Abe D - An error code E66 is associated with the heating element relay. A technician would typically check the ohm resistance of the relay to determine if it is the cause of the error code. If the readings are incorrect, the heating element is replaced. If the readings are incorrect, it could potentially be the main control board. This is not a normal DIY job so you may want to connect with a local servicer to determine the exact diagnosis. I hope this helps explain the error code you are receiving.

Error code e66

Hello wez1330 - Error code E66 indicates that the thermal limiter circuit is open. Base on the intensity of the issue, I suggest contacting a professional technician to accurately repair the unit. Technician will need to check the inlet or outlet thermal limiter for continuity. If the thermal limiter is open, tech will need to check for evidence of high temperature event and any resulting damage. If no futher damage is evident, the thermal limited and retest will need to be replaced.

I have a Asko T793C dryer. My clothes are unable to complete its cycle as halfway through the display panel will show a message "Clean Lint Filter". After I cleaned it, the cycle will continue...

I would take the vent off entirely and run it like that, if the alarms go away your problem is more than likely in the wall somewhere and a service will need to be called to clear the obstruction, if it does return the blower wheel or housing may be damaged.
