What GE Says to Check First

- 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

| 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 |

What a Dryer Repair Technician Checks

- On the UltraFast Combo, clean the mesh lint filter about every fifth dry cycle or when prompted, and clean the foam filter and filter compartment about every 50 cycles. Source: GE Appliances - GE Profile UltraFast Combo Washer/Dryer - Filter Cleaning
