Q:Installed 11/1/2021. The dryer leaves black marks on some of my clothes and bed sheets. I tried drying king size sheets one sheet at a time with no success. One of the inside tumbler shelves is not flush with the drum--could that be the problem?

Answer This Question

A:  Hi! Thanks for reaching out. Sorry to hear that you're seeing these black marks on your clothes and sheets, we can understand how this would be frustrating for sure. Black marks on clothing may be the result of the collar or cuff rubbing between the dryer drum and drum slides. This may occur if the dryer drum slides are worn or a felt seal is mispositioned or defective. In this case, we'd recommend reaching out to our service team to take advantage of your warranty. They can be contacted by calling: 1-800-432-2737 - Monday – Friday: 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. ET, Saturday – Sunday: 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. ET. Hope this helps and that this is taken care of for you soon. Best wishes. -Michael@GEA

      Q:Can this 6.2 cu. ft dryer be installed in a space with 30 inches depth? I would like to ensure that the required additional space for venting pipe can be met.
      by|Nov 8, 2021
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  Hi there, thanks for your interest in our dryer. Since this dryer has a depth of 26.75", you should be able to fit it into a space of 30". Page 3 of the installation instructions states the following: "When the exhaust duct is located in the rear of the dryer, the configuration of the ducting ay require greater than 0" of rear clearance. A 1" minimum is recommended. We hope that eases your mind! We'd love to see you in our GE Appliances family. - Guy@GEA

          Answer This Question

          A:  Hello - Thanks for your question; we are happy to help! The dryer power cord type will vary according to the home's wiring (ex. 3-wire connection vs 4-wire connection). Please check with your local electrical codes. If you have a 3-wire connection, then you need a 3-wire power cord. We are glad you checked. Olga@GEA

            Nice dryer!
            Had to replace our 24 year old dryer that started over heating and shredding items. But needed something that was not too deep to fit in my small laundry room. And it looks great. What a joy to use! Everything comes out great even my queen size comforter that did not fit in my old dryer. Color me happy. Knobs are stiff but I hope they will loosen up with time Thanks GE.

              Love that it’s a flat back dryer for small spaces!
              I searched all over for a smaller dryer to fit into my laundry closet in my apartment. This was the perfect fit. Make sure you also get a 4 inch hose and it’s not too long from the dryer to the wall outlet. It’s in the instructions if you need to reference. So far it’s dried my clothes pretty ok. Sometimes I have to run them through again for a couple of minutes because of them being a slight bit damp. But I am grateful for this dryer because I had to wait almost 3 months of it being on back order due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The buzzer can be a bit loud so you will need to adjust it. So far so good! It’s a little early to review since I got it earlier this month so we’ll see GE!

                      ok for the price, if budget and space allowed, get a better one
                      Used this dryer for almost 11 months. While not up to what i expected, the dryer is ok for the price. This dryer seems to be taking much longer time to dry clothes, 15-20 mins more compared to other electric dryers we used before. We decided to keep it due to the space allowed in the house; previously ordered a different one but ended up returning due to it could not pass through the door. If the budget and space allowed, get a different model.

                        Worst purchase ever!!!!!!
                        design flaw on the vent plate in the drum came apart only after 16 months off use, The vent plate is attached with three self tapping screws, which overtime came lose causing the rotation of the drum to wobble during operation. would not recommend at all

                          FIX YOUR LINT TRAP DESIGN!
                          Don’t you dare drop anything or collect lint in the trap door. The ridiculous design makes sure you HAVE TO TAKE APART THE ENTIRE DRYER JUST TO REMOVE THE BACKPLATE! GE what were you guys thinking!?! Piled up lint that needs to be removed and I have to remove the top plate, the door, and the face plate of the dryer JUST TO REACH IT!?! WHAT A JOKE

                            Takes hours for a small load of clothes to dry. They do eventually dry so if you’re space confined like me, it is ok. Would not recommend.

                            Hello - Thanks for taking the time to write a review. However, we're sorry to hear it takes hours to dry a small load of clothes. We understand how that would be disappointing, and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. Possible causes of clothes taking too long to dry include improper sorting, loads of heavy fabrics (like jeans), controls improperly set, a full lint filter, and improper or obstructed ducting. You may view troubleshooting tips on page 10 of your owner's manual. We hope this helps! We're always here if you need anything. -Shayla@GEA GE_Appliances
