Lisa Wilson,
The Frigidaire dryer error code e66 means there is an issue with the dryer door lock switch assembly.
Check that the door is shut properly.
If so, there could be a wiring issue within the door that connects to the main controls.
The door switch circuit must be closed for the motor to operate.
A faulty door switch may be the issue.
The door switch can be checked with a meter.
When your dryer will not run, then another issue could be the thermal limiter/fuse.
