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
GE Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- Dryer hot to the touch or sweating. GE says this usually means heat and humidity cannot escape, so clean the exhaust duct, clear the wall cap and confirm the elbow count suits the vent length. Source: GE Appliances - Dryer - Hot to the Touch or Sweats
- 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
