Know Your GE Dryer
How GE Dryers Are Built
Sensor dry models must sit level so tumbling clothes contact the moisture sensors; an unlevel dryer can end cycles with clothes still damp. Source: GE Appliances - Dryer - Taking Too Long To Dry Clothes or Not Drying at All
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 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
- Gas dryer runs but does not heat. GE says to confirm a real drying cycle and temperature are selected, keep the front of the dryer unblocked, check the dedicated 120V outlet, and on new installs make sure the gas line is turned on. Source: GE Appliances - Gas Dryer - Runs But Does Not Heat
GE Dryer Error Codes

| 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 |

What a Dryer Repair Technician Checks
Keeping a GE Dryer Running
