GE Dryer Lines and Features
What a GE Dryer Technician Deals With

GE Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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
Reading a GE Dryer Error Code

| 18 (UltraFast Combo) | The drain pump filter needs cleaning; loads may also come out wet or take longer to dry, and the drain hose should not be pushed too far into the standpipe. Source: GE Appliances - GE Profile UltraFast Combo Washer/Dryer - Fault & Error Codes and Status Messages |
| 353 (UltraFast Combo) | The lint filter is likely clogged, often with fabric softener residue; cleaning the filter clears it. Source: GE Appliances - GE Profile UltraFast Combo Washer/Dryer - Fault & Error Codes and Status Messages |
