My dryer reads “door open” even though the door is shut. Because of that it doesn’t allow you to do anything else.
Affinity dryer has E02 fault code. Dryer burner does not light. What does this code mean?
My Code was EF1…. not listed anywhere.
Our dryer repair guy could not find that code listed anywhere on his reference material.
He could however see it on the digital display on the dryer as he scrolled through so we were not imagining things.
End result was we had our dryer vent cleaned-that was the problem.
Our vent comes outside on the roof (stupid design) where you have to have a professional clean it (no way to do it yourself).
There are very few furnace companies around here that will do that because it is too dangerous and they need special equipment and insurance.
This is common with newly built houses that have laundry facilities on the second floors.
Sara Boyd,
You will need a multimeter….
E61
Heater Relay failure
Heater relay stuck open or closed – Wiring defective
Check for short circuit across heater relay (RL5, RL6, RL7) or L1 applied to heater relay output(s) (J5-2, J7-1, J7-3) with cycle stopped.
Check for open circuit between L1 and heater relay connection(s) (J5-1, J5-3, J7-2).
If no wiring problems are found, replace Electronic Control Board and retest.

Digital display says “EFI” call service. Model CFSE5115PA Fridgidaire
Dryer begins, heats and then shuts off after approx 6 mins with the above message and a continuous beeping sound. After checking the dryer vent on the outside of the house(with the dryer running), there appears to be no air being forced out the vent. Inside the drum, on the back wall, part of the area where the heats comes from is black in color and the surface feels burned/rough to the touch.
Error code E61. It started after we had the heat coil or something like that replaced. I read something about maybe a fuse of some sort not being strong enough but really have no clue. And maybe, if u do respond, please feel free to explain and give directions to me as though i am a 3 year old. I wont be insulted at all. Thank you.
Model #ffsg5115pao
Error code = E66
Replaced Thermal limiter on the burner.
Dryer worked again for 15 min the tripped the limiter again.
Is the Thermal limiter the same part on the burner side and the blower side?
What would be causing it to trip?
Exhaust is clear, and everything has been cleaned out.
