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
