E64

AppliancePartsPros says E64 usually means the heating element circuit is open. The coil may be broken or burned through, or a wire to it has come loose or failed, so the dryer heats weakly or not at all and loads take much longer.

Safety first: unplug the dryer (or switch off its breaker) before touching filters, hoses or panels. If you smell burning or gas, or see water near the outlet, stop and call a professional.

How to fix Frigidaire E64

  1. Check both breakers

    Before assuming the element is gone, flip the dryer's double breaker off and on. A half-tripped breaker gives the same no-heat result.

  2. Unplug for 5 minutes and retry

    Restore power, run a heated cycle and feel for warm air at the outside vent within 5 to 10 minutes.

When to call a technician

Testing the element means removing cabinet panels and checking coils and wiring with the dryer unplugged. Book a technician; if the element tests good, the control board may be the fault.
