Know Your GE Dryer
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
What GE Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
