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
Some GE dryers have an airflow sensor that shows a Check Vent alert when exhaust airflow drops, which usually means the vent is blocked. Source: GE Appliances - Dryer - Check Vent Sensor Alert
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
