Frigidaire Dryer Repair (Model FASE7073LR0) – Salem, OH

A Salem, Ohio customer called when their Frigidaire dryer stopped working and displayed error code E 64. The unit wouldn’t start at all — not even the drum would turn. Our diagnostic revealed a shorted heating element that was preventing the dryer from operating.

The Problem

The homeowner reported that their FASE7073LR0 model Frigidaire dryer suddenly stopped working during a normal drying cycle. The control panel showed error code E 64, and the dryer would not respond to any button presses. No heat, no tumbling, no operation whatsoever.

Diagnosis

Error code E 64 on this Frigidaire model indicates a heating element malfunction. When we tested the heating element with a multimeter, it showed a direct short to ground — meaning the coil had broken and was making contact with the metal housing. This safety feature prevents the dryer from operating when the heating element poses a potential electrical hazard.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 134792700 — heating element assembly
• Work performed: Removed rear panel, disconnected old heating element, installed new element with proper torque specifications
• Result: Error code cleared, dryer resumed normal heat and tumble operation

Is It Worth Repairing?

The FASE7073LR0 is a solid mid-range Frigidaire dryer that typically lasts 10-12 years with proper care. If your unit is under 8 years old, replacing the heating element is usually a smart investment. The repair restores full functionality and these dryers tend to be reliable once this common failure is addressed.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every single load — clogged filters force the heating element to work harder and fail sooner
• Check your exterior dryer vent annually for blockages that can cause overheating and element burnout
• On Frigidaire models, if you see error codes starting with E 6, stop using the dryer immediately and call for service
