How GE Dryers Are Built

Common GE Dryer Problems
- Dryer takes too long to dry. GE points first to venting (metal duct, no kinks, clear wall cap) and a clean lint filter, then to load size, dryer level and washer spin speed. Source: GE Appliances - Dryer - Taking Too Long To Dry Clothes or Not Drying at All
- 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
