If your GE dryer isn’t heating, check for a blown thermal fuse, a faulty heating element, or issues with the high-limit thermostat. Inspect the electrical connections to ensure they are secure, and test the timer or control board for faults if needed.

Clothes taking too long to dry may result from a blocked lint trap or clogged exhaust vent. Clean the lint filter after each use, inspect the vent hose for obstructions, and ensure the exhaust vent outside is clear.

If the dryer makes banging, squeaking, or grinding noises, it could be due to worn drum support rollers, a damaged belt, or loose components. Inspect the drum and drive system for wear and ensure all parts are properly secured.

Overheating might indicate a clogged vent system or a malfunctioning thermostat. Clean the vent thoroughly and test the thermostat for faults. A damaged heating element may also cause overheating and should be inspected and replaced if necessary. If your GE dryer won’t start, confirm that it is properly plugged in and receiving power. Check the door latch and ensure it closes securely. If the issue persists, inspect the start switch, timer, and control board for any faults.
