Quick answer
E66 is the thermal limiter open circuit code on an older Electrolux dryer series.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so E66 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Thermal limiter open circuit (outlet thermal limiter tripped).
E66 is a thermal limiter open circuit code. It comes from an older series: Electrolux dryer tech sheet 137265000B, shown with model EIMED6CJIW. The chart says the outlet thermal limiter has tripped.
What the chart lists
Outlet thermal limiter tripped.
Inlet thermal limiter tripped, on a gas model only.
Wiring defective.
What a technician checks
With an open limiter, the technician looks for signs of high-temperature damage. If there is none, the limiter is replaced. If the limiter is fine, the exhaust is checked for a blockage, and then the high-limit thermostat is checked or replaced and the dryer retested. Keep the dryer unplugged meanwhile.
Reading the code
Hold Cancel and Start Pause for 6 seconds to show the last code recorded; E00 is no failure code.
