What a GE Dryer Technician Deals With
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

What GE Says to Check First
- Check Vent alert. GE says to unplug the dryer, disconnect and vacuum the duct, and make sure the outside hood damper moves freely. Source: GE Appliances - Dryer - Check Vent Sensor Alert
- Dryer will not run or start. GE's first check is that the dryer plug is pushed fully into the wall outlet. Source: GE Appliances - Dryer - Will Not Run or Start
