Frigidaire dryers have an internal diagnostic system that diagnoses problems with your dryer and then displays an error code to let you know what the problem is. One such error code is e64.
The e64 error code means that your dryer’s heating element is faulty and needs to be fixed. It can also sometimes be caused by another component in your dryer becoming defective, which will stop the heating element from working.
To inspect, and if necessary, repair or replace the heating element or another component in your dryer, you will need to gain access to the components, which involves disassembling your dryer. Simply follow our step-by-step instructions in the guide below.

To access the heating element and other internal components in your Frigidaire dryer, you will need to take the top and side panels off.
Here’s what you need to:
The next step is to check the heating element. The heating element is responsible for heating the air that circulates around your dryer. When it becomes defective, your dryer will stop working and the e64 error code will appear.
Simply follow these instructions to check the heating element:
If the heating element is working correctly, the next step is to check the thermal fuse to ensure it is also working. The thermal fuse is there to turn your dryer off when it overheats. Sometimes, the thermal fuse can blow which then stops the heating element from being able to operate leading to an e64 error code to show on the display screen.
Here’s how you test the thermal fuse:
Some models of Frigidaire dryers have a cycling thermostat that is there to monitor the temperature in the dryer. If the thermostat stops working, this can cause the heating element to also stop working, which results in an e64 error code being displayed.
Here’s how you test the thermal fuse:
If checking and/or replacing the heating element, thermal fuse, and cycling thermostat didn’t remove the e64 error code, your final option is to replace the main control board. However, given the cost and uncertainty that replacing the board will fix the problem, you may decide the better option is to buy a new dryer.
