Frigidaire Dryer E07 Error Code

Moisture sensor shorted

What this error means

E07 is a shorted moisture sensor circuit—opposite of E04.

How E07 is detected

Temperature and pressure sensors on Frigidaire dryer models provide feedback loops the control uses to modulate heat, defrost, and cycle timing. E07 indicates the sensor circuit read open, shorted, or out of range. On Frigidaire FREQG5022AW, Frigidaire FFRE4120SW, and similar variants, wiring harness damage at hot connectors, corrosion from steam, or the sensor element itself fails most often.

dry interior bars and harness. Reseat connectors before replacing sensors—RTD oven probes should read approximately 1,080 ohms at room temperature on many GE and Whirlpool platforms. Compare your reading to the service chart for Frigidaire FREQG5022AW, Frigidaire FFRE4120SW, and similar variants. Intermittent E07 during high heat often traces to wire routing touching hot internal surfaces.

Common causes

  • Water on sensor harness
  • Metal debris bridging bars
  • Pinched wire
  • Failed sensor strip

Step-by-step fixes

  1. 1Dry interior bars and harness
  2. 2Disconnect sensor and test for short
  3. 3Run timed dry until repaired
  4. 4Replace moisture sensor if short persists

When to call a technician

Sensor replacement when short remains with harness unplugged.

Affected models

  • Frigidaire FREQG5022AW
  • Frigidaire FFRE4120SW
  • Frigidaire CFLE3911AW

Prevention & maintenance

  • Avoid steam cleaners directly on control panels; moisture ingress causes sensor and keypad faults including E07.
  • Record when E07 appears in the cycle and whether it clears after a 60-second power reset on your Frigidaire dryer—that detail speeds diagnosis if you call service.
  • Keep the model and serial number from the rating plate when ordering parts for E07; Frigidaire uses multiple revisions with different harness lengths and board firmware.
  • Photograph wiring connector orientation before disconnecting any component while troubleshooting E07; reversed plugs on pumps and valves cause immediate repeat faults.
