What Makes GE Dryer Repairs Different

GE Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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
