How GE Dryers Are Built
An electric GE dryer receiving only partial (120V) power from its 240V circuit can tumble normally but produce no heat, and a dryer wired to a 120V circuit can take up to three times longer to dry. Source: GE Appliances - Electric Dryer - Runs But Does Not Heat
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
- Electric dryer runs but does not heat. GE says to confirm the dryer has a dedicated 240V supply, reset the breaker fully off and on, and then inspect the power cord and terminal block for burned or loose connections. Source: GE Appliances - Electric Dryer - Runs But Does Not Heat
