What to do if clothes are still damp after using the 'Dry' setting on my GE GFD55?
If the dryness level was chosen but the load in your GE Dryer is still damp, it could be due to a mixture of heavy and light fabrics in the load. When combining heavy and light fabrics, choose More Dry. Another potential cause is a blocked exhaust system, so inspect and clean it.
How to remove lint from clothes in my GE GFD55?
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.
How to fix a GE Dryer that shakes or makes noise?
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.
Why does my GE GFD55 Dryer have inconsistent drying times?
If you are experiencing inconsistent drying times with your GE Dryer, drying time will vary according to the type of heat used. Also, the load size, types of fabric, wetness of clothes, and the length and condition of the exhaust system will affect drying times.
Why are garments still wrinkled after a steam cycle in my GE GFD55?
If garments are still wrinkled after a steam cycle, try loading fewer garments and manually increasing the time. Also, ensure the lint filter is clean. For children's/infant garments, use the Steam Refresh cycle.
Why is there water on the floor behind my GE GFD55?
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 does my GE Dryer show 00 in Time Remaining while running?
If your GE Dryer is running but displays '00' in Time Remaining, it's normal if the Wrinkle Care option is selected, as the time is not displayed during extended tumbling (approximately 60 minutes). Also, ensure the lint filter is clean. If not, clean it, dry a load on an automatic cycle, and verify that the light turns off. Improper or obstructed ducting can also cause this; check the Installation Instructions to ensure correct venting and that the ducting is clean and unobstructed. Dry a load on an automatic cycle and verify that the light turns off.
Why does my GE Dryer keep tumbling after it's done?
If your GE Dryer continues to tumble after the display says Complete, it's likely that the Wrinkle Care option was selected. Ensure that the Wrinkle Care option is not selected if you want the dryer to stop completely after the cycle.
Why my GE GFD55 is not heating?
If your GE Dryer isn't heating, first check the building’s fuse/circuit breaker box and replace both fuses or reset both breakers, as some dryers use two. For gas models, ensure the gas shutoff at the dryer and the main shutoff are fully open, and that the LP gas supply tank isn't empty or there hasn't been a utility interruption. Also, verify that a heat temperature is selected, rather than a no heat setting.
What to do if my GE GFD55 doesn’t start?
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.
