Frigidaire Dryer Error Code E66
Heater relay fault
Common Causes
- 1Relay contacts worn
- 2Control board failure
- 3High current draw from element
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Inspect control board for visible damage near heater relay area
- 2
Test heating element resistance — excessively low reading means element is drawing too much current
- 3
Check for voltage at element connector during cycle — no voltage = relay not engaging
- 4
Replace main control board if relay is confirmed faulty
Pro Diagnostic Tip
E66 means the relay does not engage (opposite of E68 where it is stuck on). Check the element resistance first — a partially shorted element can prevent the relay from closing as a safety measure.
