Frigidaire Washer Error Code E62

E62 indicates a heating timeout fault caused by Thermal Limiter-2 being open. This applies to domestic gas models and international electric models. The control detected that the heating system did not reach its target temperature within the allowed time and shut down the heating circuit as a safety measure. Common causes include a blocked vent, a tripped thermal limiter, a faulty NTC sensor, or damaged wiring.

It is not recommended to continue running heated cycles while E62 is active. The error indicates a heating safety device has opened, and the underlying cause, such as a blocked vent or overheating condition, should be resolved before further use. Running the machine without addressing the fault could lead to additional component damage or a recurring safety trip.

A power reset may temporarily clear the displayed error, but it will not fix the underlying problem. If Thermal Limiter-2 has opened, it remains open regardless of any reset and must be physically replaced. The error will return as soon as the machine attempts another heating cycle if the root cause has not been corrected.

Some steps are DIY-friendly, such as clearing a blocked vent or checking for loose wiring connections. However, replacing Thermal Limiter-2 or the NTC sensor requires disassembling parts of the machine and working near electrical components, which is better suited to someone with appliance repair experience. If you are not comfortable testing components with a multimeter or handling internal wiring, a qualified technician should perform the repair.

Repair costs vary depending on the root cause. If only vent cleaning is needed, costs are minimal. Replacing the NTC sensor or Thermal Limiter-2 typically runs in the range of $50 to $200 for parts and labor combined, depending on your location and the technician's rates. If the control board is involved, costs can be higher.
