Frigidaire Dryer Error Code E68 — Stuck Button on Control Panel
What this means
The E68 error on Frigidaire dryers indicates the electronic control board has detected a key or button on the user interface panel being held down for longer than the expected duration. This can be caused by a stuck button, moisture infiltrating the control panel, a failed touchpad membrane, or a faulty user interface board.
Step-by-step fix
4 stepsReset the dryer
Unplug the dryer for 5 minutes, then plug it back in. A static discharge or moisture event can cause a one-time E68.
If E68 clears after the reset but returns, the issue is physical (stuck button or failing membrane).
Press each button
Press and release every button on the panel. Check if any feel sticky, do not spring back, or feel different from the others.
Laundry product residue and humidity are common causes of sticky buttons.
Clean the control panel
Wipe down the panel with a clean, damp (not wet) cloth. Clean around each button edge. Allow the panel to dry completely before testing.
Never spray cleaners directly on the control panel — liquid can seep behind the membrane and cause more problems.
Replace the user interface board if needed
If cleaning does not resolve the issue, the touchpad membrane or user interface board may need replacement. Disconnect power, remove the panel, and replace the board.
On some Frigidaire models, the touchpad and interface board are a single assembly.
When to call a professional
If replacing the interface board does not fix E68, the main electronic control board may have a fault.
