Why is my GE Dryer running but not heating?
- K
  kristingrayAug 21, 2025
  If your GE dryer is tumbling but not heating, consider these potential causes: * Blown fuse/tripped circuit breaker: Check the building’s fuse/circuit breaker box and replace both fuses or reset both breakers. Some electric dryers use 2 fuses/breakers, so ensure both are operating. * Gas service is off (gas models only): Make sure the gas shutoff at the dryer and the main shutoff are fully open. * LP gas supply tank is empty or there has been a utility interruption of natural gas (gas models only): Refill or replace the tank. The dryer should heat when utility service is restored. * No heat temperature selected: Select another heat setting.

  If your GE dryer isn't starting, here are a few things to check: * Control panel is “asleep”: Press the Power button to activate the control panel. * Dryer is unplugged: Ensure the dryer plug is completely pushed into the outlet. * Fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped: Check the building’s fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker. Note that some electric dryers use two fuses/breakers, so make sure both are operating. * Dryer was accidentally paused when starting Delay Dry: If the light on the Start/Pause pad is flashing, the dryer is paused. Press Start/Pause to restart the countdown.

How to prevent lint on clothes from my GE GFD65ESPVDS Dryer?
- J
  jennifer50Aug 25, 2025
  To prevent lint on clothes when using your GE dryer, consider the following: * Lint filter is full: Clean the lint screen before each load. * Improper sorting: Sort lint producers (like chenille) separately from lint collectors (like corduroy). * Static electricity: Static can attract lint. See suggestions in this section under Static occurs. * Overloading: Separate large loads into smaller ones. * Paper, tissue, etc., left in pockets: Empty all pockets before laundering clothes.

How to stop my GE GFD65ESPVDS from shaking and making noise?

  Gregory MartinAug 26, 2025
  If your GE dryer is shaking or making noise, it might be sitting unevenly. Move the dryer to an even floor space, or adjust the leveling legs as necessary until it is stable.

What to do if clothes are still damp after using the Dry setting on my GE GFD65ESPVDS?
- J
  James WilliamsAug 28, 2025
  If your clothes are still damp after using the Dry setting on your GE dryer, it could be because: * The load consists of a mixture of heavy and light fabrics: When combining heavy and light fabrics in a load, choose More Dry. * The exhaust system is blocked: Inspect and clean the exhaust system.

Why are collars and waistbands still wet after using my GE GFD65ESPVDS?
- C
  Courtney ChaseAug 29, 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.

Why does my GE GFD65ESPVDS Dryer display 00 in Time Remaining while running?
- K
  Kimberly WatsonAug 31, 2025
  If your GE dryer is running but displays '00' in Time Remaining, this could be due to: * The Wrinkle Care option being chosen: During extended tumbling with this option, the time remaining is not displayed. This lasts approximately 60 minutes. * A full lint filter: Clean the lint filter, dry a load on an automatic cycle, and verify that the light turns off. * Improper or obstructed ducting: Check the Installation Instructions to ensure correct dryer venting. Ensure ducting is clean, free of kinks, and unobstructed. Also, check if the outside wall damper operates easily. Dry a load on an automatic cycle and verify that the light turns off.

How to reduce static in my GE GFD65ESPVDS?
- G
  Gabrielle WrightSep 2, 2025
  To reduce static in your GE dryer: * Use a fabric softener. Bounce® Fabric Conditioner Dryer Sheets have been approved for use in all GE Appliances dryers when used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. * Avoid overdrying by adjusting the setting to Less Dry or Damp. * Be aware that synthetics, permanent press, and blends can cause static; try using a fabric softener.

Why does my GE Dryer shut off quickly and leave clothes wet?
- C
  catherinestephensSep 3, 2025
  If your clothes are still wet and your GE dryer shuts off after a short time, consider these possibilities: * The door was opened mid-cycle, and a new load was put in without selecting a new cycle: A dry cycle must be re-selected each time a new load is put in. * The load is small: When drying 3 items or less, choose QUICK DRY or TIMED DRY. * The load was already dry except for collars and waistbands: 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. * The dryer is not level: Move the dryer to an even floor space or adjust the leveling legs as necessary until even.

Why are there greasy spots on clothes after drying in my GE Dryer?
- D
  dustinramirezSep 6, 2025
  Greasy spots on clothes after drying in your GE dryer may be due to: * Improper use of fabric softener: Follow the directions on the fabric softener package. * Drying dirty items with clean ones: Use your dryer to dry only clean items. Dirty items can stain clean items and the dryer. * Clothes were not completely clean: Sometimes stains which cannot be seen when the clothes are wet appear after drying. Use proper washing procedures before drying.
