GE Dryer Lines and Features
How GE Dryers Are Built
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
GE allows only rigid or flexible metal vent duct and says plastic flexible duct is not acceptable because it collapses, cuts airflow and can collect water. Source: GE Appliances - Dryer - Things To Check For A Venting Issue
What GE Says to Check First
- 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
