frigidaire dryer runs for few minutes

Ok so i set dryer and start it then after a few minutes the dryness lights start flashing about every 30 secs. Then after a couple minutes it shuts off with beep and all the cycle lights are lit. Anyone know the issue here?

the lights are probably indicating a code. Maybe an open thermistor so it can’t tell if its heating or open element. Does it begin to heat in the time it runs?

Yes it does start to warm up by checking exhaust.

I can’t recall how to extract codes off the top of my head. Sounds like a thermistor error though. I’ll dig up a manual tomorrow.

The only code i could find was either e01 wbich it did not list for n the paper or e68 i think it does was which it said was a stuck button. I put it in test mode and all buttons worked. But im not exactly sure i did the code pulling properly.

A stuck button on these would not be uncommon. Try screwing with the dryness level button (or all of the buttons for that matter) by pressing them a bunch of times and see if anything changes when you try to start it.

Does it have any history of waking itself up or random beeping when you are not using it? That’s pretty standard stuck button behavior.

If I remember right you press start and cancel together to get the last code? Or maybe that’s for their washers only. I’ll try to remember to look at a manual while I am at work tomorrow and have better access to manuals.

The whole counting the flashing lights thing is a pain in the neck and I have been misled many times by reading the codes incorrectly.
