What Makes GE Dryer Repairs Different
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
- 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
- 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

What Missoula Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Missoula 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.
Montana's plumber licensing law does not cover fuel gas piping; gas piping and gas appliance installations are handled through mechanical permits and inspections by the state Building Codes Program or certified local governments, under the International Fuel Gas Code.

In Montana, you can check a license with the Montana DLI Construction Contractor Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Montana Department of Justice, Office of Consumer Protection.
Questions to Ask a Missoula Technician
- What is the service call or diagnostic fee, and is it applied to the repair?
- Do you work on gas dryers, and who handles anything involving the gas line?
- Is your company licensed where my state requires it, and insured?
