One of the buttons is stuck closed or shorted. Enter the function test mode and perform the button test to determine which button is stuck or shorted. When determined which button, try to free or unstuck the button then perform the test again. Replace the user interface board when the button is freed but the code still exists.

Press and hold the SELECT and CANCEL buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds to reset the control. When resetting is successful, the buzzer will sound and "rES" will be shown briefly in the display, and then immediately rotate the cycle selector knob 5 turns in the counterclockwise direction to the second position from the bottom.

Press and hold the OPTIONS and CANCEL buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds to enter test mode; the buzzer will sound 3 times and all of the LEDs will flash rapidly.

Rotate the cycle selector knob 4 times in the clockwise direction to enter button test. Press the buttons one at a time and observe the LEDs corresponding to that button light up. The LEDs should light up; otherwise the button is stuck.

Press and hold the SELECT and CANCEL buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds to exit test mode.

What is an error code e-68 on a galaxy series dryer mean

E68 error code is a stuck button error code. You can try to wiggle each button on the control panel to make sure they are all functioning freely. If so, then unplug the dryer and leave it unplugged a couple minutes then plug the dryer back in to clear the electronic panel's error code. If the panel still shoes E68, then you'll need to replace the panel. Part#134557201

Hope this helps!!

What do i do when my frigidaire dryer shows error code 68

Good Morning Friend,

I understand that your Frigidaire dryer, model# LEQ2152ES0, is showing a 68 error code. The E68 error code means that there is a possible button that is stuck. I suggest resetting your appliance, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your homes circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes. Once power is restored 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 dryer status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Error code 68

Good Morning Mua_m7,

I see that you are having trouble with your Frigidaire washer giving you an E68 error code. The E68 could be one or both of two possibilities.

First, it could be the heating element. If the heating element goes out, this means that you would be unable to get the water temperatures to hotter temperatures.

Second, it could be something going on with the main control board inside your washer.

With you receiving the E68 error code, I suggest that you give your washer a hard reset, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your home's circuit breaker for 2-3 minutes. When you restore the power, if you are still receiving the E68 error code, I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Frigidare AEQ600es2 does not heat. Reports error code E68, but all buttons seem to work.

You will nee The error code E68 is a stuck button error code. I recommend checking each button to make sure it loose in the plastic console. The button should rock side to side a little bit. If all the buttons are loose you can try to reset the unit control by unplugging the dryer for two minutes. If the error code comes back you will need to replace the unit control.

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
