Why my GE GFD55 is not heating?
- M
  Mrs. Kayla RobinsonAug 27, 2025
  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.

  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.

  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.

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 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).

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 does my GE GFD55 keep tumbling after the cycle is complete?

  Hannah StewartSep 8, 2025
  If your GE Dryer continues to tumble after the display says Complete, check if the Wrinkle Care option was selected. If so, ensure it is not selected for future cycles.

How to reduce static in my GE GFD55 Dryer?

  If static occurs in your GE Dryer, try using a fabric softener. Also, overdrying can cause static, so adjust the setting to Less Dry or Damp. Be aware that synthetics, permanent press, and blends can cause static.

Why are collars and waistbands still wet after using my GE GFD55 Dryer?
- E
  Elizabeth WardSep 7, 2025
  If collars and waistbands are still wet at the end of a cycle in your GE dryer, it may be because the dryness monitor senses that the body of the clothes is dry. Choose QUICK DRY or TIMED DRY to dry damp collars and waistbands. In the future, when drying a load with collars and waistbands, choose More Dry.
