How GE Dryers Are Built
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
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 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
- 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

Keeping a GE Dryer Running

- Inspect and clean the exhaust duct at least once a year by unplugging the dryer, disconnecting the duct and vacuuming it, and check that the outside hood flaps move freely with no nests inside. Source: GE Appliances - Dryer - How to Clean Exhaust / Vent Duct

Most dryer calls in West Point come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
