My frigidaire dryer says error code “COL” and won’t start.
I have the error code E9E, but can find no reference to it.
Our Frigidaire Dryer says Error E67.
Do you know what that error message is?
It then ran with heat and said error E64.
Which I see is the heating panel but our is getting hot.
Our Affinity dryer is stopping 15-30 minutes into a timed cycle. There is no error code displayed – just the time left in the cycle – but the 3 little lights on the right side under the display continuously flash. It doesn’t feel like it’s heating while it does run. When it stops I can hit cancel and start the timed cycle again and it will run but again only for 15 minutes or so. Any ideas on what the problem might be?
Patti,
Frigidaire Front Load Dryer error code DR = door error
Make sure there is nothing blocking the door.
Check the wiring from the door switch assembly to the control board.
The dryer may have a control board failure.
The relay that controls heat can burn the terminals for the wiring.
Inspect these relay connection by removing the front control panel.
Also… try setting the machine to the fluff/air dry setting and try starting the dryer.
If the dryer starts in air fluff, then you need to check the connections on that relay.
On some Frigidaire Front Load Dryers, the dryer will still run in fluff mode if the board is faulty.
