Frigidaire affinity LEQ6000ES2 error code e68...dryer will not start

The dryer will not start.The problem originally started when we stopped the dryer to chek clothes. Once we closed it to start again it would not start back up. The machine lights up like it wants to start but just makes a humming sound. We have changed the thermal limiter but still no luck. The buttons do not appear to be stuck either. Not sure what the next step should be???

Good Afternoon David,

I understand that your Frigidaire Affinity dryer, model# LEQ6000ES2, is showing you an error code of E68 and will not start. I also see that you have changed the thermal limiter. Looking at what the E68 error code means, a key or button stuck, there could be something else causing the code to come up. I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose your appliance, determine what is causing the E68, and repair your dryer. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

There can be many reasons why your dryer will not start or turn...

The most common causes are the belt breaking or jumping off, or the motor going bad...

Hi

E68 error code indicates current leakage to ground on heater or fuse opened. Check the resistance of the heating element; it should be around 14 ohms. Also check the resistance between the ground and both heater terminals, it should be open when heater terminal are disconnected. If the readings are incorrect then the heating element should be replaced. Hope this helps...please post back for further assistance.

    Good Morning Friend,

    I understand that your Frigidaire Affinity dryers is beeping and displaying an E68 code. I suggest resetting your appliance, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your home's circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes. Restore power and start any cycle. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

    Why is my Frigidaire affinity showing code E68?

    Good Morning Gary,

    I understand you are receiving an E68 code on your Frigidaire Affinity washer, model# ATF7000E. The E68 code states that there is a current leak to the ground on the heater or there is a fuse open. This could also be a false error code. I suggest resetting your appliance, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at the circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes. Restore power and start any cycle. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

    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

    This is a fault code for a stuck key on the board. You may have to remove the control panel and check the keys. If this does not work you may have to replace the panel or control board.
