Frigidaire Dryer Repair (Model FASE7073LR0) – Salem, OH

A Frigidaire dryer in Salem started throwing an E 64 error code and wouldn’t heat properly. Our diagnostic showed a shorted heating element — a common failure point on this model that kills the heat cycle completely.

The Problem

The customer reported their FASE7073LR0 displaying error code E 64 and producing no heat during cycles. The dryer would run and tumble clothes, but everything came out cold and damp even after extended run times.

Diagnosis

Error code E 64 on Frigidaire dryers indicates a heating element malfunction. We pulled the back panel and found the heating element had developed an internal short circuit. The element’s coil had failed, breaking the electrical continuity needed to generate heat. This is typical wear on units this age — the repeated heating and cooling cycles eventually stress the element until it fails.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 134792700 — heating element assembly
• Work performed: Removed rear panel, disconnected old element, installed new heating element with proper electrical connections
• Result: Error code cleared, normal heating restored, test cycle completed successfully

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Frigidaire model is built solid and heating element replacement is straightforward. Unless you’re dealing with multiple system failures or the drum bearings are shot, fixing the heating element gives you several more years of reliable service. The FASE7073LR0 is worth maintaining.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Dryers

• Clean the lint screen before every load — restricted airflow overworks the heating element
• Check the exhaust vent outside annually for blockages that can cause overheating
• If you see error codes like E 64, E 66, or E 68, stop using the dryer until diagnosed — continued operation can damage other components
