How GE Dryers Are Built
Sensor dry models must sit level so tumbling clothes contact the moisture sensors; an unlevel dryer can end cycles with clothes still damp. Source: GE Appliances - Dryer - Taking Too Long To Dry Clothes or Not Drying at All
Common GE Dryer Problems
- Gas dryer runs but does not heat. GE says to confirm a real drying cycle and temperature are selected, keep the front of the dryer unblocked, check the dedicated 120V outlet, and on new installs make sure the gas line is turned on. Source: GE Appliances - Gas Dryer - Runs But Does Not Heat
- Dryer takes too long to dry. GE points first to venting (metal duct, no kinks, clear wall cap) and a clean lint filter, then to load size, dryer level and washer spin speed. Source: GE Appliances - Dryer - Taking Too Long To Dry Clothes or Not Drying at All
