Electrolux Dryer Error Code E64: Meaning and Fix

Reading the dryer display
On a dryer the code shows in the time-remaining window or as blinking status lights. Write down the characters before you press anything, because starting a new cycle usually clears the display. Electrolux uses the same E, F and i prefixes as Frigidaire.
Electrolux builds the platforms behind both its own line and Frigidaire, so its codes line up closely with Frigidaire ones. Look for E codes on laundry, F codes on ranges and i codes on dishwashers. The codes apply to model numbers such as EIDW5905JS, EDSH4944AS and EFME527UIW; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.

Questions
What does the E64 code mean on a Electrolux dryer?
The temperature sensor circuit reads open, so heat cannot be regulated.
Can I fix the E64 code myself?
Often yes. The most likely repair is the dryer thermistor, a part most owners can swap with basic hand tools after unplugging the appliance, and it is usually quicker than a service visit.
How do I clear the E64 code?
Unplug the dryer or switch off its breaker for five minutes, then restart a short timed-dry cycle. If E64 comes back, the underlying fault is still there; start with this: loose thermistor connector.
