The dryer allows you to get rid of excess moisture from clothes and shoes quickly. It exceeds the capabilities of a washing machine, and is effective for big families. If the problem lies in the wiring, socket, belt defects, you may ignore calling a specialist. For more serious repairs, electrical installation skills are required, the ability to take measurements in the circuit, cleaning contacts, repair or replacement of the failed parts. An ordinary user does not have the opportunity to purchase branded parts. If you decide to try doing it yourself, then remember to disassemble the unit, disconnect it from the power source. Notice please - capacitors are capable of storing a high power charge for a long time. If your GE dryer will not run or start, check the following:
- Make sure the dryer plug is pushed completely into the wall outlet.
- Check that the dryer door is closed tightly.
- Make sure that the cycle selection button is positioned on the desired temperature, fabric and drying time.
- Ensure that the START button has been depressed completely.
- Open the dryer door and inspect the condition of the door switch. If the door switch is scorched or pushed in, this may cause the dryer not to operate.
- Check to be sure that your house circuit breakers / fuses are operational. The dryer should be on a separate/dedicated circuit.
- On some models (2019 and newer), the dryer may need its "personality" settings selected. When this happens, the dryer may not turn on or tumble and a "1" or "2" appears in the display. Pressing the START button toggles between valid personalities (1 or 2). To set the display to the correct personality select "1" for Electric dryers or "2" for Gas dryers.
The optimal solution in case of malfunction of any household appliances is to contact a professional workshop. You will minimize the risks of causing more significant damage and will not endanger your life.
