FRIGIDAIRE MODEL FEQ1442ES1 Lights flash 3 times when you try to start it. Checked for continuity on the upper limit and the thermostat. Any other suggestions?

Based on the symptoms you described, it's likely that there is an issue with the heating element or thermostat in your Frigidaire dishwasher. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check the heating element: The heating element is responsible for heating the water during the wash cycle and drying the dishes at the end of the cycle. If the element is faulty, the dishwasher may stop mid-cycle and display the flashing lights you described. Use a multimeter to test the continuity of the heating element. If there is no continuity, the heating element needs to be replaced.
2. Check the thermostat: The thermostat is a safety device that prevents the dishwasher from overheating. If the thermostat is faulty, it may shut off the heating element prematurely, causing the dishwasher to stop mid-cycle. Test the thermostat using a multimeter. If it's not functioning properly, it needs to be replaced.
3. Check the control board: If the heating element and thermostat are functioning properly, there may be an issue with the dishwasher's control board. A faulty control board can cause various issues, including the flashing lights you described. If this is the case, you may need to replace the control board.

If you're not comfortable performing these troubleshooting steps yourself, it's best to contact a qualified technician to diagnose and repair the issue.

This indicates it is the High Limit Thermostat, which isn't a fuse. Most dryers have three heat related components. They usually trip because of bad airflow, check the hose at the back and the vent in the wall. This is the time that birds make nests in them! Also wash the lint filter with dish soap and a brush.

The error code of E65 is a high limit thermostat trip . For Electric Model, check Inlet Thermal Limiter for continuity. If Thermal Limiter is open, check for evidence of high temperature event and any resulting damage. If no further damage is evident, replace Thermal Limiter.

Frigidaire dryer still codes E65 after an E64. Replaced heater ...

in don't know. perhaps the system resets itself. consider unplugging from electrical source. push start open and close.push stop if there is one to push. reconnect to power source.

-You mean it work like normal but just no heat all ?
-If so check for heater element. It could be burn out.



Good luck

Hi - From what you have described the unit could possibly have a communication problem with the control board. However, if the unit is producing heat but will not complete cycle please confirmed that the door is closing properly. If it is not, the unit could possibly have a defective door switch or cord/wiring. Either, or, could be faulty at this time. I would suggest contacting a professional to move forward accurately since this is not a typical DIY job.

Thermostat issue - need a professional to complete the following:

For electric model, check inlet thermal limiter for continuity. If thermal limiter is open, check for evidence of high temperature event and any resulting damage. If no further damage is evident, replace thermal limiter. If no problems are found with the thermal limiter, check exhaust vent system for air blockages. If no problems with vent restrictions, check/replace high limit thermostat, and retest.

Apply power to the inducer motor, or check the voltage to it first.a relay or circuit board will control its operation, if the inducers not running, the pressure switch wont close and no operation .

Likely is. Low resistance means higher amperage (more current) so getting to upper limit too soon.

I think you are working on the wrong end. Check the fan and inlet ductwork of the dryer, if the air isn't moving properly, it will not move enough to keep the coils and limiters cool and they will fail after working properly a few times.
