Yes, never ever use the self clean function on modern ovens. 880-900 degrees to too aggressive. We see ovens broken here all the time, doors locks broken, wiring burnt, elements burned out, control boards frazzled, fans seized. You need a service call. There is no thermal fuse for obvious reasons, it's an oven. Self-Clean Ovens The oven is cleaned by heat, at temperatures above normal cooking temperatures. During the cleaning cycle the oven is heated to about 880 degrees Fahrenheit (471° C.). At this temperature, food soils inside the oven decompose, leaving behind a small amount of ash. Buy a can of Easy-Off, or use household ammonia. If panels are removable, you can put the parts and the ammonia into a black garbage bag overnight.

Probably the main burner safety valve. Possibly a fault with the fan. It is a gas appliance so you can't work on it yourself. You need a gas certified appliance engineer to diagnose and fix.

This indicates it is the High Limit Thermostat, which isn't a fuse. Most dryers have three heat related components. They usually trip because of bad airflow, check the hose at the back and the vent in the wall. This is the time that birds make nests in them! Also wash the lint filter with dish soap and a brush. Part No. 33 here https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/55b2zm5szl-001428/frigidaire-fase7073lw0-dryer-parts The error code of E65 is a high limit thermostat trip . For Electric Model, check Inlet Thermal Limiter for continuity. If Thermal Limiter is open, check for evidence of high temperature event and any resulting damage. If no further damage is evident, replace Thermal Limiter. Jul. 27, 2017

The model number is probably FDE437GHS0. Many Frigidaire manuals are available here: http://b2b.frigidaire.com/support/manuals.asp . You don't need the entire model number to get the owner's manual. The current link to the owner's manual is ftp://ftp.electrolux-na.com/ProdInfo_PDF/Webster/131883500en.pdf . A quick link to the Operating instructions is ftp://ftp.electrolux-na.com/ProdInfo_PDF/Webster/131929400.pdf . I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Hello good day, The E means error ! This means that you need to follow the operation seating to be able to operate it again or you we have to reset the dryer again. Thanks, Good luck.

Sounds like the door switch is bad and the unit is acting as if the door is still opened even when you have it closed. Here is the switch for your unit.

PAU (pause) may reflect an excessive load or one out of balance. Or, it may indicate the exhaust hose is blocked, crimped or smashed (something you can check by pulling out the dryer, disconnecting the hose and seeing if the dryer then works). Burt before you do any of this, you can simply unplug and replug the dryer. Like a computer, that is sometimes all you need to do. But if this is a control board problem, other than jiggling such or checking for a loose wire, you will have to have a service tech look at it. I am assuming that the door latch is working.(which operates a sensor).

check your dryer vent system, may be blocked causing the dryer to over heat and turning off so there won't be a fire.

Frigidaire Dryer that Runs, but No Heat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQiZ8OFJINM

Not really seeing EF2 for dryer but may help to run through test cycle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isyRVKU8f14 Troubleshooting ideas below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8j6fQM3P34 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebJ9AyvyTMU&t=60s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVvI2kbOA-g

ELECTRICDryer no heat or little heat, or shuts down to fast: Checkyour venting and lint basket. Check blower for lint build up and blower wheel obstruction., test by trying to turn the wheel manually by hand (should be easy) May have to remove cabinet or front/back plate to get to it) Next check the heating element itself with a meter for continuityit should showOHMS CLOSED CIRCUIT. If not its defectiveor has a short if its grounding out? Which in turns causes blown fuses or thermostats or overheating. The heating elements are located inside the heater ducts. If you think a heating element is faulty, test it with avolt-ohm-multimeter(VOM)set to the RX1 scaleat 20K ohms. Disconnect the leads from the power terminals and clip one probe of the VOM to each terminal. The meter should read about 12. (1200)ohms.If the reading is higherohms, the heater is faulty and should be replaced. Replace a faulty heater with a new one of the same type and electrical rating. A heater connected to a 115-volt line usually has an 8.4-ohm resistance; a heater connected to a 220-volt line usually has 11 ohms resistance. Check dryer Terminal block prongs both outside prongs should give combined 220, and 110 each if u check 1 outside & 1 center (ground) prong. Also check house electrical outlet for full voltage. 220 because if u only get half or 110 volts you will be able to run the machine which uses only 110 to run motor but not the heater which uses a full 220,OR?you may have a broken centrifugal switch in the motor because this switch activates the motor and the heater as well. supposedto be if the motor does not run, the heater should not heat in order not to createafire but ifthe motor is not running,andthe heater is still heating, then there could be a problem with the motor centrifugal switch that is connected to this interlock switch that should trigger the heater. Check the thermal cut off, the cycling and the hi limit thermostats. For continuity or OHMS. If no ohms or resistance they need replacement. In somedryer'sthecontrol panel relies on athermistorrather than aCYCLING thermostatto regulate the drum's air temperature by monitoring the component's resistance changes; resistance goes down as temperature increases and up when temperature decreases. Once the drum's air temperature reaches a certain level required to dry clothes, the control panel shuts off the heater. The panel will turn the heater on again and begin another heating cycle when thethermistorindicates that more heat is needed to keep the air temperature constant inside the drumthis is why in some cases the dryer will operate at lower cycles like gentle or low heat but not at higher settings?) Lastly check your moister sensor.( located inside the dryer door usually) Especially if machine seems to shutdown early and clothesare still wet. Test with a meterat room temperatureand it should show continuity. A failed moisture sensor will affect the dryer run timein the automatic moisture sensing cyclebut it will not affect the heatingof the dryer or the timed cycle.Which are reflected by the thermostats.

Start simple. Check for the basic things that will not let the dryer run. Broken door switch. A loose wire on the door switch...those kinds of things. The same would apply to the start button. R

in don't know. perhaps the system resets itself. consider unplugging from electrical source. push start open and close.push stop if there is one to push. reconnect to power source.

I would check the lint traps and exhaust line to make sure you don't have a restriction in air flow. the reduced air flow could cause the machine to over heat and will not allow it to run till cools down. I think I might also try different dryer setting on the timer just to make sure it is not the timer but sounds like something is getting to hot. http://www.appliance-repair-it.com/Frigidaire-dryer.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9KaJeV_bMQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg-vqyRgMPo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQiZ8OFJINM https://homeguides.sfgate.com/troubleshoot-frigidaire-electric-clothes-dryer-80372.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg1W9RrxXLY manual below https://www.searspartsdirect.com/manual/95gwascbq1-001428/frigidaire-ffre4120sw-dryer https://manualzz.com/manual/en/Frigidaire/FFRE4120SW/User%2Bmanual

The vent pipe is probably plugged up.

Broken belt perhaps?

The E9X codes all point to a faulty control board, as does the fact that the PF code canno tbe cleared. Just make sure none of the buttons are stuck down before you replace it...copied from another forum im in

If you use fabric softener sheets in your dryer, they eventually will deposit enough residue in your lint trap to close up the mesh. Usually you cannot see the residue, although it is blocking the movement of air through it. My advise would be to remove the lint trap and run it under hot water and clean it well, then try the dryer with the clean lint trap. I hope this works for you and solves your problem.
