Hello,

I'm trying to pull the error codes from my dryer that won't heat, but the tech sheets I've found online seem to be for a different model.
They instruct to turn the knob to a certain clock position, but this knob is different.
Any ideas?
Photo of knob and controls attached.

Thanks

So you may want to check for Frigidaire tech sheets. Some of them will say either a "good" or "better" model and how the codes can be accessed. Yours would be a "better" model. If it is not heating things to check would be your element number one and then there should be a series of button looking thermostats that may have gone bad as well. Let me know if any of this is helpful

Had much better results googling Frigidaire than Kennmore.
This link had instructions that made sense:

Thanks AM.
Now that I have the codes, need to figure it out.
E5b, E68, and E4a.
Have continuity in the high limit thermostat and the thermal fuse, about 48k ohms across the thermistor, and the heater element also has continuity.
I'm thinking its a control board at the point.

That could be the case I would first check that you have 240 volts to the dryer and of so you have to find where your losing it at. Be extremely careful as this can carry enough amperage to kill you. If don't feel comfortable I would definitely call a professional.
