How to remove lint from clothes in my GE GFD55?
- A
  Adam CookSep 5, 2025
  If you see lint on clothes after drying them in your GE Dryer, clean the lint screen before each load. Also, sort lint producers (like chenille) from lint collectors (like corduroy). Static electricity can attract lint, so consider the suggestions in this section under Static occurs. Avoid overloading the dryer by separating large loads into smaller ones. Finally, empty all pockets before laundering clothes to prevent paper or tissue from contributing to lint.

What to do if my GE GFD55 Dryer doesn’t heat?
- D
  Darren PerezAug 26, 2025
  If your GE dryer tumbles but doesn't heat, check the building’s fuse/circuit breaker box and replace both fuses or reset both breakers, because some electric dryers use 2 fuses/breakers. For gas models, make sure the gas shutoff at the dryer and the main shutoff are fully open. Also, check if the LP gas supply tank is empty or if there has been a utility interruption of natural gas; refill or replace the tank as needed. Ensure that a no heat temperature wasn't accidentally selected; if so, select another heat setting.

  Nicholas KnappAug 26, 2025
  If your GE dryer doesn’t start, first, press the Power button to activate the control panel if it's "asleep". Ensure the dryer is plugged completely into the outlet. Check the building’s fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker, noting that some electric dryers use two fuses/breakers. If the light on the Start/Pause pad is flashing, press Start/Pause to restart the countdown, as the dryer may have been accidentally paused when starting Delay Dry.

Why is my GE GFD55 tumbling after display says Complete?

  If your GE dryer continues to tumble after the display says Complete, it is likely because the Wrinkle Care option was selected. Ensure that the Wrinkle Care option is not selected, unless using the Steam Refresh cycle, where Wrinkle Care is automatically turned on and cannot be turned off.

Why is my GE GFD55 Dryer load still damp after selecting 'Dry'?
- S
  Shelly SmithSep 5, 2025
  If you've chosen the Dry dryness level on your GE Dryer but the load is still damp, it could be due to a mixture of heavy and light fabrics. When combining these, choose More Dry. Also, inspect and clean the exhaust system, as a blocked exhaust system can cause dampness.

Why is there water on the floor behind my GE GFD55?
- B

  If you find water on the floor in the back of your GE Dryer, check for a loose water hose connection and tighten it. Also, ensure the hose has a rubber washer at the connection with the valve; install the rubber washer provided with the hose if it's missing.

Why do clothes take so long to dry in my GE GFD55?
- C
  Carly MooreSep 1, 2025
  Several factors can cause clothes to take too long to dry in your GE Dryer. Ensure the dryer venting is correct according to the Installation Instructions, and that the ducting is clean, free of kinks, and unobstructed. Also, check if the outside wall damper operates easily. Separate heavy items from lightweight items and avoid overloading. Match control settings to the load, and clean the lint filter before every load. Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers, remembering that some electric dryers use two. Finally, consider that the ecoDry feature extends dry times to save energy; disabling it may reduce drying time.

Why are clothes wrinkled after using my GE Dryer?
- C
  Christopher ShawSep 9, 2025
  Clothes can be wrinkled after drying in your GE dryer due to overdrying (select a shorter drying time, remove items with a slight amount of moisture, or choose a Less Dry or Damp setting), letting items sit in the dryer after the cycle ends (remove items when the cycle ends and fold or hang immediately, or use the Wrinkle Care option), or overloading (separate large loads into smaller ones).

  If your GE Dryer shakes or makes noise, it might be sitting unevenly. Move the dryer to an even floor space, or adjust the leveling legs until it is stable.
