GE Dryer Lines and Features
How GE Dryers Are Built
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
Common GE Dryer Problems
- 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 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
What GE Dryer Codes Mean

| 353 (UltraFast Combo) | The lint filter is likely clogged, often with fabric softener residue; cleaning the filter clears it. 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 |
