How to fix Frigidaire digital display model front-load washer error code E68 (safe owner checks)

Safety first: disconnect power before you remove any panel or reach into the sump or drum. Do not touch wiring, the control board or the motor. If you see water near electrical parts, stop and call a technician. These steps are based on the Frigidaire digital display model front-load washer error-code chart (via Sears PartsDirect) [1], rewritten for clarity.

Write down the code and model number. Note exactly what the display shows (E68) and copy the full model number from the rating label, so you can confirm this chart applies to your digital display model front-load washer and order the right parts.
Do a power reset. Unplug the washer.
Check. Check for a short in the heater to the metal cabinet.
Test and decide. Run a short cycle or restart and watch the display. If E68 comes back after these checks, stop using the washer for this function and call a technician, because the remaining causes need meters or part replacement.

The first and last steps (and the power reset) are general owner checks added by ErrorCodePro; the rest follow the Frigidaire digital display model front-load washer error-code chart published by Sears PartsDirect, rewritten for safe owner use.
