E68 for this model number says in manual that this is for a "button stuck" or held down for more than 30 seconds

ck all your buttons for one that just doesn't "feel right" when its pressed , this one will be your problem

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand you are receiving an E68 error code on your Frigidaire Affinity washer, model# ATF7000E. The E68 error code states that there is a possibility something is going on with the heating element inside your washer. It could also be a false error code. I suggest resetting your appliance, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your home's circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes. Restore power and start your washer on the hottest cycle on a heavy soil level. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your washer status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

Good Morning Mua_m7,

I see that you are having trouble with your Frigidaire washer giving you an E68 error code. The E68 could be one or both of two possibilities.

First, it could be the heating element. If the heating element goes out, this means that you would be unable to get the water temperatures to hotter temperatures.

Second, it could be something going on with the main control board inside your washer.

With you receiving the E68 error code, I suggest that you give your washer a hard reset, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your home's circuit breaker for 2-3 minutes. When you restore the power, if you are still receiving the E68 error code, I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. Hope this is helpful.

Good Morning Randy, this is Z. Thank you for your post!

Typically error code E68 on your Frigidaire dryer can indicate one or two issues. First problem could be that one of the keys (buttons) is stuck closed (active). Enter "Function Test Mode" and perform Key Test to determine which button is at fault. To perform the "Function Test Mode": Press and hold the START and CANCEL button at the same time for 10 seconds. The stuck key should blink. Carefully free the key and perform the test again. If button is free but the error code still exists, the electronic control will possibly need replacing. Second issue could possibly be a current leakage to ground on heater or fuse opened. However, I would strongly suggest contacting a professional to the check the resistance of the heating element (should be approximately 14ohms) or the resistance between the ground and both heater terminals. It should be open when heater terminals are disconnected. If the readings are incorrect, then you may have a faulty heating element. Best regards!

Hello Marvin Feldman - Typically error code E68 indicates a possible current leakage to ground on the heater or an opened fuse. A professional will need to check the resistance of the heating element, also between the ground and both heater terminals. Depending on the appropriate diagnoses, either the heating element or the main control board will need replacing. Contact a professional to move forward accurately.
