How to fix Frigidaire EAF

  1. Reset the board

    Leave the dryer unplugged for 5 full minutes so the control powers down completely. Plug it back in and run a short cycle.

  2. Note the model number

    If EAF reappears, copy the model and serial numbers from the label inside the door opening so the right board can be ordered.

When to call a technician

Board replacement involves the dryer's internal wiring; have a technician do it.
