PLEASE HELP! Dryer cuts off and gives an E68 code.

I have a Frigidaire Gallery Series front loading dryer and it keeps giving me an error(?) code, E68. When I start the dryer, it runs for a couple of minutes and then It starts beeping and flashing this code and finally cuts off and all the lights start blinking randomly. Not to long ago the light bulb inside burnt out, but I can't imagine that this is contributing to the problem. Please help, me clothes are mildewing.

Model # GLGQ2152ESO
Serial # XD71002541

    Does someone know the procedure to free a stuck push button? My FEQ1422ES1 has a stuck dryer heat select push button. E68 was the error code, during the push button test it did not beep, and I am unable to change the drying mode by pressing the button (High, Normal, Low, No Heat). However, the dryer works. It just beeps randomly and sometimes 4 status lights flash on the far right.

    please try the following:
    Hi friends, I fixed my dryer some time ago by adding a 1/2 watt 10kohm resistor to the dryness button to ground as a pulldown to ground, usually read 19kohms in that input, after perform the button tests you will see that the dryness button is not working, and after soldering the resistor you just need to clear the error flag and will work as expected. any more questions write to [email protected]

Dryer gallery series e68

Good Morning Friend,

I understand you want to know how to replace the board on your Frigidaire dryer, model# GLEQ2152ES, due to receiving an E68 code. Typically, this is not a do it yourself repair, as there are no step by step instruction manuals. I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They have been trained on your particular appliance, and should be able to replace the board with ease. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

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

I have a Frigidaire Affinity Clothes dryer manufactured in 05/07 that is displaying a code E68 after in runs for just a few minutes. Any idea what could be causing this?

The error code E68 means a key or button is stuck. Check the buttons by pressing them one at a time to find the stuck one or enter the service diagnostic mode then the key function test. Click on the link below for the detailed instructions.

Have a Frigidaire Gallery Series front loading dryer and it keeps giving me an error(?) code, E68. When I start the dryer, it runs for a couple of minutes and then It starts beeping and flashing this code...

Sorry to read about your problem. this should be your E68 problem

You have a defective button on the control board.
The best thing to do is go into the diagnostic mode.
Turn the dial to Normal. Press and hold the Select and Pause/Cancel keys for 6 seconds, or until the Drying/Cool Down/Press Saver/Clean Lint Filter lights come on.
Then press the Start and Pause/Cancel Buttons 4 seconds. This puts you into the diagnostic mode to check the keys. Now, turn the dial 4 O'clock position, or 75. This will allow you to check all your buttons. As you press each key, it will light all the lights above it. When you press a key and it does nothing or the lights above any certain key stays on without pushing it, this button is stuck. If you can't clear it, you probably have to replace the control board.

I tried to help you. Please help me and Vote/Rate this response. Thanks and good luck

The dryer gives E68 it starts running dor 30

the code 68 on the aeq7000es series is indicative of stuck buttons [your control buttons on the front]They sometimes stick in the closed position or go open [fail] and I have found the bad switch and replaced just the bad switch[ there should be a series of test to determine which switch button is bad] and if the switch buttons are testing good ,then it's control panel time. The control panels are about $150.00 on ebay ,sometimes you can find a "make offer" deal,but their few and far between.

My Frigidaire Electric Dryer keeps giving an error code

If your dryer is the same or similar to mine (Model AEQ6000ES2) then error E68 is a stuck key on the keypad. This may be mechanically stuck or the membrane contacts. The simple solution is to replace the keypad.
I found this information by searching for "Frigidaire Model AEQ6000ES2"
