If your Electrolux dryer is showing an E64 error code, this means there is a problem with the heating circuit. When this occurs, your dryer isn’t able to heat properly during the cycle. Finding and fixing the underlying cause can be quite complex as it requires you to use a multimeter to test various components and, if faulty, replace them. The components that require testing include the heating element, thermal fuse, high-limit thermostat, and control board.
If you don’t have experience working with electrical components, you should call a technician to come and inspect your dryer.

The best place to start is to check the heating element. The heating element heats the air in your dryer, enabling it to operate correctly. However, if the element stops working properly, it could be responsible for the E64 error code.
Follow these instructions to test the heating element:
The next step is to test the thermal fuse. The purpose of the thermal fuse is to stop your Electrolux dryer from overheating. Testing the thermal fuse requires the same process as testing the heating element.
Follow these instructions to test the thermal fuse:
The next step is to test the high-limit thermostat in your Electrolux dryer. The purpose of the high-limited thermostat is to monitor the temperature in your dryer and then tell the main control board to switch your dryer off if it overheats. Sometimes, the high-limit thermostat can do this because it’s faulty and not because your dryer is overheating.
Follow these instructions to test the high-limit thermostat:
If inspecting the heating element, thermal fuse, and high-limit thermostat hasn’t resolved the E64 error code’s underlying cause, the next step is to test or replace the control board. Unfortunately, testing the control board is challenging and requires finding the specific diagnostic test for your particular dryer. You can obtain this information by checking your user manual or contacting Electrolux for instructions. Alternatively, consider calling a technician to inspect your appliance or purchasing a new dryer.
