What Makes GE Dryer Repairs Different
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
GE Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- Dryer will not run or start. GE's first check is that the dryer plug is pushed fully into the wall outlet. Source: GE Appliances - Dryer - Will Not Run or Start
