How GE Dryers Are Built
The GE Profile UltraFast Combo uses a two-stage filter system (a mesh lint filter plus a second mesh or foam filter) located between the display and the dispenser drawers. Source: GE Appliances - GE Profile UltraFast Combo Washer/Dryer - Filter Cleaning
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
What GE Says to Check First
