What a GE Dryer Technician Deals With
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
The GE Profile UltraFast Combo uses a two-stage filter system (a mesh lint filter plus a second mesh or foam filter) located between the display and the dispenser drawers. Source: GE Appliances - GE Profile UltraFast Combo Washer/Dryer - Filter Cleaning
GE Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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
Reading a GE Dryer Error Code
