What a GE Dryer Technician Deals With
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
What GE Says to Check First
- Electric dryer runs but does not heat. GE says to confirm the dryer has a dedicated 240V supply, reset the breaker fully off and on, and then inspect the power cord and terminal block for burned or loose connections. Source: GE Appliances - Electric Dryer - Runs But Does Not Heat
- Dryer hot to the touch or sweating. GE says this usually means heat and humidity cannot escape, so clean the exhaust duct, clear the wall cap and confirm the elbow count suits the vent length. Source: GE Appliances - Dryer - Hot to the Touch or Sweats
