Frigidaire Dryer Repair – Alliance, OH (AFFINITY)

We received a call from Alliance, OH about a Frigidaire Affinity dryer that was shutting off after 2/3 minutes and not drying, with error code E68 displaying. Our diagnosis revealed a failed control board with a stuck button that would have been too costly to repair for this older unit.

The Problem

The customer reported their Frigidaire dryer was shutting off after 2/3 minutes and not drying clothes. The unit was also displaying error code E68 on the control panel.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found the control board has bailed and had a button that was stuck. This combination of issues was preventing the dryer from completing its normal cycle and triggering the E68 error code.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None
• Work performed: Diagnostic evaluation of control board failure
• Result: Due to the cost of the repair, customer decided to replace the unit

Is It Worth Repairing?

Frigidaire Affinity dryers from the older generations can face expensive control board failures as they age. When the repair cost approaches or exceeds half the price of a comparable new unit, replacement often makes more financial sense, especially if other components may fail soon.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Dryers

• Clean the lint filter after every load to prevent overheating that can damage control boards
• Avoid overloading the drum, which can strain the motor and electrical components
• Check and clean the exterior vent regularly to maintain proper airflow
