GE Dryer Lines and Features
How GE Dryers Are Built
GE allows only rigid or flexible metal vent duct and says plastic flexible duct is not acceptable because it collapses, cuts airflow and can collect water. Source: GE Appliances - Dryer - Things To Check For A Venting Issue
Some GE dryers have an airflow sensor that shows a Check Vent alert when exhaust airflow drops, which usually means the vent is blocked. Source: GE Appliances - Dryer - Check Vent Sensor Alert
What GE Says to Check First
- 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

Dryer Notes for East Honolulu, HI
