Common GE Dryer Problems
- 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
- Check Vent alert. GE says to unplug the dryer, disconnect and vacuum the duct, and make sure the outside hood damper moves freely. Source: GE Appliances - Dryer - Check Vent Sensor Alert

Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
