Hello Louie, I appreciate your inquiry!
Based off the information you have provided your Frigidaire dryer is displaying an error code of "E61" after you have replaced the element. An "E61" error code means that there could be an issue with your heater relay or main control board. You may need to seek additional assistance from a professional technician for proper diagnosis and repair. This will help you avoid any unnecessary part purchases. I hope this information is helpful to you. -Matt

Hello friend, that's a great question!

From my understanding your Frigidaire Affinity dryer is displaying an error code of "E64". An "E64" error code stands for the heater circuit is open. This could be a possible problem with your heater, wiring harness, or even a miscommunication within your dryer. In order to clear out any miscommunication you can perform a reset on your dryer and to do that you need to unplug the power cord for at least ten minutes. If this does not help to resolve your issue I would recommend having a professional technician out diagnose and repair your dryer to help avoid any future issues or unnecessary part purchases. Hopefully this information is helpful. -Matt

I appreciate your post, Doug Anderson! From the information you have provided your Frigidaire dryer is displaying an error code of "E61". "E61" stands for heater relay failure which could be a problem with wiring, heater relay, or main control board. I would recommend performing a reset on your dryer and you can do that by disconnecting the power cord for ten minutes. This should help clear out any potential false error codes. Hope this information is helpful. -Matt

"Check for short circuit across heater relay(s) (RL5, RL6, RL7)
or L1 applied to heater relay output(s) (J5-2, J7-1, J7-3)

Hello Friend, this is Z. Thank you for allowing me to assist you!

If you are receiving an error code E61 on your Electrolux dryer, it usually means that your dryer is experiencing an issue with the heater relay. A qualified technician would pinpoint the problem by checking the wiring for both open and short circuit across heater relay(s). If the wiring isn't the issue, he/she would need to determine whether the problem rest with the main control board. It really could be a hit or miss calculation in parts so I would personally reach out to an experienced tech that will be able to identify the precise reason. Best regards!

Good Morning Friend, thank you for your post!

An error code E61 on your Frigidaire dryer is associated with a failure in the heater relay.

Hi Friend, this is Z. I am happy to assist you!

I see that you have a Frigidaire Affinity dryer and I'm presuming you are seeking information on how to clear error codes on your dryer. May I please have your model number? The serial tag, which lists your model number, is typically located on the upper front, as you open the door. With this information I can help pinpoint the exact problem. In the meantime, you can reset your dryer by either unplugging your dryer or flipping off the breaker for roughly ten minutes. This often clears most false error codes. Hope this helps!

Good Afternoon Friend, this is Z. Thank you for your post!

If you are receiving an error code E61 on your Frigidaire Affinity dryer, first check if it is a false error code by resetting the power to your appliance by either unplugging it or flipping off the breaker for about ten minutes. If the error code persists, it could potentially mean that your dryer is experiencing a failure with the heater relay. This is not a typical DIY job. I would recommend reaching out to an experienced appliance tech just to ensure no troubleshooting step has been missed. You can often locate a qualified service provider through the manufacturer website.

Best regards.
