Frigidaire Dryer Error Code EF0
No heat detected
Common Causes
- 1Weak gas-valve coils failing to open the burner (gas)
- 2A dead flame sensor or igniter (gas)
- 3An open heating element (electric)
- 4A blown thermal fuse common to both
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
EF0 just says heat never arrived, so the very first fork is knowing whether you have a gas or an electric machine, because the two chase completely different parts from here
- 2
On a gas dryer, watch the burner through the port: an igniter that glows bright but never lights the gas is the classic worn valve-coil story, whereas an igniter that never glows is the igniter or flame sensor
- 3
On an electric dryer, meter the element for a finite resistance — an over-limit reading is an open coil, the same bad-element story E64 tells but arrived at from the no-heat side
- 4
Whichever fuel it burns, check the thermal fuse and high-limit for continuity too, since a single blown safety cuts the heat dead on gas and electric alike
Pro Diagnostic Tip
On the gas machines the runaway favorite is worn valve coils: the igniter dutifully glows, but the tired coils can no longer pull the valve open, so gas never flows and the glow just cycles. The coils are a cheap set that fail from years of heat cycling, and swapping them fixes the majority of gas EF0 calls.
