If the unit is not turned off or if the door is not opened, the dryer will continue to tumble for 30 minutes. At the end of 30 minutes, it will display "0:00" and the cycle will be complete.	NOTE:A single extremely light fabric item may need to have an additional item included to achieve optimum results.
9		Detangle (on some models)Activates alternating forward and reverse tumbling to reduce tangling, dry more evenly, and improve drying times. Typical loads such as bed and bath mixed loads, where sheets, towels and pillow cases are laundered together, benefit from this capability. When the dryer reverses direction, there will be a slight pause and sound change. This is normal.	NOTE: Detangle is selected by default for Towels/ Sheets and Bulky/Bedding cycles.
10		eDryReduces the total energy consumption of specific dryer cycles by adjusting certain heat settings.NOTE: Cycle times will change when e-Dry is selected.	This cycle can be used withCottons, Normal, Active Wear, Delicates, Speed Dry, Bulky, Towels-Sheets, Sanitize and Steam Dewrinkle.
11		Extended TumbleMinimizes wrinkles by adding approximately 60 minutes of no-heat tumbling after clothes are dry. The beeper will sound every five minutes as a reminder to remove the clothes.	The estimated time remaining display will show "0:00".The extended tumble time does not get added to the cycle time on the display.
12		Damp AlertThis option causes the dryer to beep when clothes have dried to a damp level. Remove items that you wish to hang dry. TheDamp Alertwill only beep when this option is selected, and the dryer will continue to dry.	Removing clothes and hanging them when they are damp can reduce the need to iron some items.

Sorting and Loading Hints

WARNING

- Fire Hazard

• Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from dryer.
• DO NOT dry anything that has ever had anything flammable on it (even after washing).

• No washer can completely remove oil.

• DO NOT dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils).

• Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic must be dried on a clothesline.
• Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

As a general rule, if clothes are sorted properly for the washer, they are sorted properly for the dryer. Try also to sort items according to size. For example, do not dry a sheet with socks or other small items.

Do not add fabric softener sheets once the load has become warm. They may cause fabric softener stains. Bounce® Fabric Conditioner Dryer Sheets have been approved for use in this dryer when used in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Do not overload. This wastes energy and causes wrinkling.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with circular components and internal components (no text or symbols)

The Exterior: Wipe or dust any spills or washing compounds with a damp cloth. Dryer control panel and finishes may be damaged by some laundry pretreatment soil and stain remover products. Apply these products away from the dryer. The fabric may then be washed and dried normally. Damage to your dryer caused by these products is not covered by your warranty.

The Lint Filter: Clean the lint filter before each use.

Pull out the lint filter. Moisten your fingers and remove the captured lint. Once clean, slide the filter back into position. Have a qualified technician vacuum the lint from the dryer once a year.

NEVER OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT ITS FILTER IN PLACE.

Stainless Steel: To clean stainless steel surfaces use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel surfaces. Remove the cleaner residue and then dry with a clean cloth.

The stainless steel used to make the dryer drum provides the highest reliability available in a GE Appliances dryer. If the dryer drum should be scratched or dented during normal use, the drum will not rust or corrode. These surface blemishes will not affect the function or durability of the drum.

Dryer Interior and Duct: The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned once a year by qualified service personnel.

The Exhaust Duct: Inspect and clean the exhaust ducting at least once a year to prevent clogging. A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen the drying time.

The Exhaust Hood: Check with a mirror that the inside flaps of the hood move freely when operating. Make sure that there is no wildlife (birds, insects, etc.) nesting inside the duct or hood.

EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECKLIST

HOOD OR WALL CAP

• Terminate in a manner to prevent back drafts or entry of birds or other wildlife.
• Termination should present minimal resistance to the exhaust airflow and should require little or no maintenance to prevent clogging.
• Wall caps must be installed at least 12" above ground level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.
• Never vent the dryer out of the roof.

SEPARATION OF TURNS

- For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. of straight duct, including distance between last turn and dampened wall cap.

SEALING OF JOINTS

• All joints should be tight to avoid leaks. The male end of each section of duct must point away from the dryer.
• Duct joints should be made air- and moisture-tight by wrapping the overlapped joints with duct tape or aluminum tape.
• Do not assemble ductwork with any fasteners that extend into the duct. These fasteners can accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.
• Horizontal runs should slope down towards the outdoors 1/4" per foot.
• Provide an access for inspection and cleaning of the exhaust system, especially at turns and joints. Exhaust system shall be inspected and cleaned at least once a year.

INSULATION

- Ductwork that runs through an unheated area or is near air conditioning should be insulated to reduce condensation and lint buildup.

TOOLS AND MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL EXHAUST DUCT

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER (cont.)

CONNECTING THE DRYER TO HOUSE VENT

RIGID METAL TRANSITION DUCT

• For best drying performance, a rigid metal transition duct is recommended.
• Rigid metal transition ducts reduce the risk of crushing and kinking.

UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (SEMI-RIGID) TRANSITION DUCT

• If rigid metal duct cannot be used, then UL-listed flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting can be used (Kit PM08X10085).
• Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other enclosed spaces.
• Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 7' 9" (2.4 m).
• For many applications, installing elbows at both the dryer and the wall is highly recommended (see illustrations at right). Elbows allow the dryer to sit close to the wall without kinking and/or crushing the transition duct, maximizing drying performance.
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

UL-LISTED FLEXIBLE METAL (FOIL-TYPE) TRANSITION DUCT

- In special installations, it may be necessary to connect the dryer to the house vent using a flexible metal (foil-type) duct. A UL-listed flexible metal (foil-type) duct may be used ONLY in installations where rigid metal or flexible metal (semi-rigid) ducting cannot be used AND where a 4" diameter can be maintained throughout the entire length of the transition duct.

- In Canada and the United States, only the flexible metal (foil-type) ducts that comply with the "Outline for Clothes Dryer Transition Duct Subject 2158A" shall be used.

- Never install flexible metal duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other enclosed spaces.

- Total length of flexible metal duct should not exceed 7' 9" (2.4 m).

- Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

- For best drying performance:

1. Slide one end of the duct over the clothes dryer outlet pipe.

2. Secure the duct with a clamp.

3. With the dryer in its permanent position, extend the duct to its full length. Allow 2" of duct to overlap the exhaust pipe. Cut off and remove excess duct. Keep the duct as straight as possible for maximum airflow.

4. Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the other clamp.

FOR TRANSITION VENTING (DRYER TO WALL), DO:

• DO NOT crush duct against the wall.

• DO NOT set dryer on duct.

EXHAUST LENGTH

Using exhaust longer than specified length will:

• Increase the drying times and the energy cost.
• Reduce the dryer life.
• Accumulate lint, creating a potential fire hazard.

The correct exhaust installation is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

Problems due to incorrect installation are not covered by the warranty.

The MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE length of the exhaust system depends upon the type of duct, number of turns, the type of exhaust hood (wall cap) and all conditions noted on the chart.

• Internal elbows added for side or bottom vent conversions must be included in the total elbow count.
• Any elbow greater than 45^ should be treated as a 90^ elbow.
• Two 45^ elbows will be treated like one 90^ elbow.
• For the side exhaust installations, add one 90° elbow to the chart.
• When calculating the total vent system length, you must add all the straight portions and elbows of the system (including the transition duct).

Troubleshooting Tips

Save time and money! Review the charts on the following pages, or visit GEAppliances.com. You may not need to call for service.

Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Dryer shakes or makes noise	Some shaking/noise is normal. Dryer may be sitting unevenly.	Move dryer to an even floor space, or adjust leveling legs as necessary until even.
Clothes take too long to dry	Improper or obstructed ducting	Check the Installation Instructions to make sure the dryer venting is correct.Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks and unobstructed.Check to see if outside wall damper operates easily.
	Improper sorting Separate heavy items from lightweight items (generally, a well-sorted washer load is a well-sorted dryer load).
	Large loads of heavy fabrics (like beach towels)	Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take longer to dry.Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller loads to speed drying time.
	Controls improperly set Match control settings to the load you are drying.
	Lint filter is full Clean lint filter before every load.
	Blown fuses or tripped circuit breaker	Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers. Since most dryers use 2 fuses/breakers, make sure both are operating.
	Overloading/combining loads	Do not put more than one washer load in the dryer at a time.
	Underloading If you are drying only one or two items, add a few items to ensure proper tumbling.
	eDry is enabled The eDry feature is designed to operate your dryer in the most energy efficient mode, which is not always the fastest mode. In some instances, dry times may be extended to reduce overall energy usage for the cycle.
The Dry dryness level was chosen but load is still damp	Load consists of a mixture of heavy and light fabrics	When combining heavy and light fabrics in a load, choose More Dry.
	Exhaust system is blocked Inspect and clean exhaust system.
Control buttons not responding	Controls accidentally put in service mode	Press Start/Pause.
	Controls accidentally put in lock mode	Hold the Lock Control button for 3 seconds to unlock the dryer.
	Controls performed an incorrect operation	Reset the in-house breaker.
Dryer doesn't start	Control panel is "asleep"	This is normal. Press Power to activate the control panel.
	Dryer is unplugged Make sure the dryer plug is pushed completely into the outlet.
	Fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped	Check the building's fuse/circuit breaker box and replace fuse or reset breaker. NOTE: Electric dryers use two fuses or breakers.
	Dryer was accidentally paused when starting Delay Dry	If the light on the Start/Pause button is flashing, the dryer is paused. Press Start/Pause to restart the countdown.
No numbers displayed during cycle, only lights	Dryer is continuously monitoring the amount of moisture in the clothes	This is normal. When the dryer senses a low level of moisture in the load, the dryer will display the dry time remaining.

Before you call for service...

Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Time Remainingjumped to a lower number	The estimated time may change when a smaller load than usual is drying	This is normal.
Cannot make a selection and the dryer beeps twice	The dryness Level, Temp or option that you are trying to select is incompatible with the chosen dry cycle	This is normal.
Dryer is running but 00 is displayed in Time Remaining	The Ext Tumble option was chosen	This is normal. During extended tumbling, the time remaining is not displayed. The extended tumbling option lasts approximately 60 minutes.
Clean Lint Filter (message)	Power button was activated	Press Start/Pause to begin a dry cycle and the message will disappear.
Dryer doesn't heat	Fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped; the dryer may tumble but not heat	Check the building's fuse/circuit breaker box and replace both fuses or reset both breakers. Your dryer may tumble if only one fuse is blown or one breaker tripped.
	Gas service is off (gas models only)	Make sure gas shutoff at dryer and 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 tank. Dryer should heat when utility service is restored.
Inconsistent drying times	Type of heat Drying time will vary according to the type of heat used. If you recently changed from an electric to a gas (natural or LP) dryer, or vice versa, the drying time could be different.
	Type of load and drying conditions	The load size, types of fabric, wetness of clothes and the length and condition of the exhaust system will affect drying times.
Clothes are still wet and dryer shut off after a short time	The door was opened mid-cycle. The load was then removed from the dryer and a new load put in without selecting a new cycle	A dry cycle must be reselected each time a new load is put in.
	Small load	When drying 3 items or less, choose Speed Dry or Time Dry.
	Load was already dry except for collars and waistbands	Choose Speed Dry or Time Dry to dry damp collars and waistbands. In the future, when drying a load with collars and waistbands, choose More Dry.
	Dryer is not level	Move dryer to an even floor space or adjust leveling legs as necessary until even.
Clothes are wrinkled	Overdrying Select a shorter drying time. Remove items while they still hold a slight amount of moisture. Select a Less Dry or Damp setting.
	Letting items sit in dryer after cycle ends	Remove items when cycle ends and fold or hang immediately, or use the Ext Tumble option.
	Overloading Separate large loads	nto smaller ones.

Before you call for service...

Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Clothes shrink Some fabrics will naturally shrink when washed. Others can be safely washed, but will shrink in the dryer.		To avoid shrinkage, follow garment care labels exactly. Some items may be pressed back into shape after drying. If you are concerned about shrinkage in a particular item, do not machine wash or tumble dry it.
Greasy spots on clothes	Improper use of fabric softener Follow directions on 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.
Lint on clothes	Lint filter is full	Clean lint screen before each load.
	Improper sorting Sort lint producers (like chenille) from lint collectors (like corduroy).
	Static electricity can attract lint	See suggestions in this section under Static occurs.
	Overloading Separate large loads	nto smaller ones.
	Paper, tissue, etc., left in pockets	Empty all pockets before laundering clothes.
Static occurs No fabric softener was used Try a fabric softener.
Collars and waistbands still wet at end of cycle	The dryness monitor senses that the body of the clothes is dry	Choose Speed Dry or Time Dry to dry damp collars and waistbands. In the future, when drying a load with collars and waistbands, choose More Dry.
Slight variation in metallic color	This is normal Due to the metallic properties of paint used for this unique product, slight variations of color may occur due to viewing angles and lighting conditions.
Door is too foggy to see clothes during a steam cycle	Steam condenses on inner door This is normal.
Water seen on inside of door and top of lint filter when opening door after steam cycle	Steam condenses on these surfaces	This is normal.
Small areas on clothes are damp after steam cycle	Steam condenses on inner drum	If using the Steam Dewrinkle cycle, manually reduce the cycle time. If using the Steam Refresh cycle, add more garments to the load.

Before you call for service...

Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Small amount of water on floor in front of dryer	Inadequate load size for steam cycle selected, excess steam condenses inside cabinet and leaks out	If using theSteam Dewrinklecycle, manually reduce the cycle time. If using theSteam Refreshcycle, add more garments to the load.
Water on floor in back of dryer	Loose water hose connection to valve	Tighten connection.
	Hose missing rubber washer at connection with valve	Install rubber washer provided with hose.
Dryer makes water noises	Water valve is open filling steam generator	This is normal.
	Steam generator is dispensing steam into drum	This is normal.
Water drips from door when opened after a Steam Cycle	Steam condenses on inner door	This is normal.
