What a GE Dryer Technician Deals With
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
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
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
- 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
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 |
| Confirm H2O Supply is ON (UltraFast Combo) | No water is entering the unit; controls lock for a few minutes while you check the water supply valves. 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 |

Local Notes for Waterford
Most dryer calls in Waterford come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
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.
