What a GE Dryer Technician Deals With
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 Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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 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
GE Dryer Error Codes
| Code | What it means |

| Confirm H2O Supply is ON (UltraFast Combo) | No water is entering the unit; controls lock for a few minutes while you check the water supply valves. Source: GE Appliances - GE Profile UltraFast Combo Washer/Dryer - Fault & Error Codes and Status Messages |
| 18 (UltraFast Combo) | The drain pump filter needs cleaning; loads may also come out wet or take longer to dry, and the drain hose should not be pushed too far into the standpipe. Source: GE Appliances - GE Profile UltraFast Combo Washer/Dryer - Fault & Error Codes and Status Messages |

Care GE Recommends for Its Dryers

- Inspect and clean the exhaust duct at least once a year by unplugging the dryer, disconnecting the duct and vacuuming it, and check that the outside hood flaps move freely with no nests inside. Source: GE Appliances - Dryer - How to Clean Exhaust / Vent Duct
