What the E68 error code actually means

The E68 code means one of the buttons on your dryer's control panel is stuck in the pressed position and won't release. Your dryer has detected this and stopped working to avoid running unintended cycles. You'll need to find the stuck button and free it, or have a technician replace the control board if freeing the button doesn't clear the error.

Questions people ask about E68

What does E68 mean on a Frigidaire dryer?
E68 on a Frigidaire dryer is a stuck key fault code. It means the electronic control board has detected that one of the buttons on the control panel is registering as continuously pressed. The dryer will not operate normally until the stuck button is freed or the underlying fault is repaired.
Will resetting the dryer clear the E68 code?
A power reset may temporarily clear the E68 display, but the code will return if the underlying cause is not fixed. If a button is physically stuck or the control board has a shorted input, the fault will continue to appear until those issues are addressed directly.
How much does it cost to repair a Frigidaire dryer showing E68?
If the repair only requires freeing a stuck button, there may be little to no parts cost involved. If the control panel overlay or membrane needs replacement, parts typically range from $30 to $100 depending on the model. Replacing the electronic control board is the most expensive scenario, with parts generally ranging from $80 to $250, plus labor if a technician is involved.
Can I fix the E68 error myself?
In many cases, yes. Start by inspecting each button on the control panel and pressing them one at a time to find which one feels stuck or does not spring back. Carefully clean around the button to remove any residue. If the button moves freely but the code returns, the electronic control board will need to be replaced, which is a more involved repair.
Is it safe to use my Frigidaire dryer while E68 is showing?
It is best to avoid using the dryer while E68 is active. A stuck button could cause the dryer to behave unpredictably or prevent you from controlling the cycle properly. Resolve the fault before resuming normal use.
