Settings

Individual settings for cycle minutes (Time), dryness level (Level) and temperature (Temp) can be set from the minimum (lowest in column) to maximum (highest in column). In general, the higher up the column, the more energy will be used. NOTE: The selected cycle set Time can be further adjusted, in one minute increments, by pressing the More Time + and Less Time - pads.

Dryness Level - Selection only used for Sensor cycles. Timed cycles run for the selected time.

NOTE: Options for Dryness Levels vary by model. Refer to the control panel on your model or to the control panels shown earlier in this manual.

Extra Dry Use for heavy-duty fabrics or items that should be very dry, such as towels.

More Dry Use for heavy-duty or mixed type fabrics.

Dry Use for a normal dryness level suitable for most loads. This is the preferred cycle for energy savings.

Less Dry Use for lighter fabrics.

Damp For leaving items partially damp.

Temperature

High For regular to heavy cottons.

NOTE: STEAM Dewrinkle and STEAM Refresh require the High temperature setting.

Medium For synthetics, blends, delicates and items labeled permanent press.

Low For delicates, synthetics and items labeled tumble dry low.

Extra Low For lingerie and special-care fabrics.

No Heat

For fluffing items without heat. For use only with the AIR FLUFF cycle.

F Options

Reduce Static (on some models)

When selected, the dryer will spray a mist of water onto the load, at the end of the drying cycle, to reduce static.

This option is not available with BULKY, SANITIZE or STEAM cycles.

Damp Alert (Damp Alert/WiFi pad) (on some models)

This option causes the dryer to beep when clothes have dried to a damp level. Remove items that you wish to hang dry. The Damp Alert will only beep when this option is selected (but the dry cycle will keep running).

Removing clothes and hanging them when they are damp, can reduce the need to iron some items.

Air Fluff (on some models)

Provides 10 minutes of tumbling time with no heat. NOTE: On models without AIR FLUFF cycle, select TIMED DRY and set Temp to No Heat.

Sound (on some models)

Use the Sound pad to change the volume of the pad presses and the end of cycle signal. Press the pad until you reach the desired volume or off. The clothes should be removed when the end of cycle signal goes off so wrinkles do not set in.

NOTE:

• Remove garments promptly at the sound of signal. Place clothes on hangers so wrinkles will not set in.
• Use the Sound especially when drying fabrics like polyester, knits and permanent press. These fabrics should be removed so wrinkles will not set in.

Wrinkle Care

Use this option to minimize the wrinkles in clothes. It provides 1 hour of no-heat tumbling after the clothes are dry. If you are using the cycle Sound and you select the Wrinkle Care option, a signal will sound at the end of the drying time and several times during the Wrinkle Care cycle. This will remind you that it is time to remove the clothes.

More Time + / Less Time -

The selected cycle set Time can be further adjusted, in one minute increments, by pressing the More Time + and Less Time - pads.

ecoDry

Available for BULKY, TOWELS, COTTONS, MIXED LOADS, ACTIVE WEAR and DELICATES. When the ecoDry pad is pressed, cycle settings change to reduce the total energy consumption of the selected sensor cycle. NOTE: Cycle times will change when ecoDry is selected. The ecoDry option will default to on for COTTONS. For optimal energy savings, turn ecoDry on. For optimal drying times, turn ecoDry off.

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.

Drying Rack (Available as an option)

A handy drying rack may be used for drying delicate items such as washable sweaters.

To install the drying rack, place the rack all the way into the dryer drum and fit its feet down and securely into place in the dryer.

NOTES:

• The drying rack must be used with the TIMED DRY cycle. Use with sensor cycles may result in damp items or extended cycle times.
• Do not use this drying rack when there are other clothes in the dryer.
• If your model did not come with a drying rack, order WE02X29449 on-line at GEApplianceparts.com, 24 hours a day or by phone at 877.959.8688 during normal business hours.

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.

Follow these steps:

1 Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting the plug from the wall socket.
2 Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
3 Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment and reconnect the duct.

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.

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.

Lint Filter

Clean the lint filter before each use.

Remove by pulling straight up. Run your fingers across the filter. A waxy buildup may form on the lint filter from using dryer added fabric softener sheets.

To remove this buildup, wash the lint screen in warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly and replace.

Vacuum the lint from the dryer lint filter area if you notice a change in dryer performance.
NEVER OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT ITS FILTER IN PLACE.

Stainless Steel (on GFD85 & PFD95 models only)

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.

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.

Alcosta Aluminized Steel (on all other models)

The steel used to make the dryer drum has an aluminized coating on its surface to prevent it from rusting or corroding. Any surface blemishes will not affect the function or durability of the drum.

To clean the Alcosta surface 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.

Drum Light (on some models)

The drum light is an LED light. Replacement must be done by a qualified technician.

CONNECTING INLET HOSES (for steam dryer models only)

CONNECTING INLET HOSES

To produce steam, the dryer must connect to the cold water supply. Since the washer must also connect to the cold water, a "Y" connector is inserted to allow both inlet hoses to make that connection at the same time.

NOTE: Use new inlet hoses; never use old hoses.

1. Turn the cold water faucet off. Remove the washer inlet hose from the washer fill valve connector (cold).
2. Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and attach one female coupling of the short hose provided onto the washer fill valve connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
3. Attach one male end of the "Y" connector to the other female coupling of the short hose. Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

1. Insert the filter screen in the coupling of the washer's inlet hose. If a rubber flat washer is already in place remove it before installing the filter screen. Attach this coupling to one male end of the "Y" connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
2. Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and attach a 4 ft. (1.2m) to 6 ft. (1.8m) long water inlet hose (may need to be purchased separately) to one male end of the "Y" connector. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.
3. Ensure the rubber flat washer is in place and attach the other end of the dryer's long inlet hose to the fill valve connector at the bottom of the dryer back panel. Tighten by hand until firmly seated.

CONNECTING INLET HOSES (cont.)

1. Using pliers, tighten all the couplings with an additional two-thirds turn.

NOTE: Do not overtighten. Damage to the couplings may result.

1. Turn the water faucet on.
2. Check for leaks around the "Y" connector, faucet and hose couplings.

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

Hot and cold water faucets MUST be installed within 42 in. (107 cm) of your washer's water inlet. The faucets MUST be 3/4'' (19.1 mm) garden hose-type so inlet hoses can be connected. Water pressure MUST be between 10 and 120 pounds per square inch. Your water department can advise you of your water pressure.

NOTE: A water softener is recommended to reduce buildup of scale inside the steam generator if the home water supply is very hard.

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 CLOTHES DRYER TRANSITION DUCT

If rigid metal cannot be used, then UL-listed flexible metal clothes dryer transition duct (GE Appliances part - PM08X10085) can be used.
- Never install transition duct in walls, ceilings, floors or other enclosed spaces.
Total length of transition duct should not exceed 8' (2.4 m).
- For many applications, installing elbows at both the dryer and the wall is highly recommended (see illustrations in next section). 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 home exhaust vent using flexible metal (foil-type) transition duct. UL-LISTED universal flexible dryer transition duct (GE Appliances parts - PM8X73 or WX8X73) may be used ONLY in installations where rigid metal or flexible metal transition ducting cannot be used AND where a 4" (10.2 cm) diameter can be maintained throughout the entire length of the transition duct.
• In Canada and the United States, only transition ducts that comply with "UL 2158A STANDARD FOR CLOTHES DRYER TRANSITION DUCT" shall be used.
• Avoid resting the duct on sharp objects.

• For best drying performance:

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

• Secure the duct with a clamp.
• With the dryer in its permanent position, extend the duct to its full length. Allow 2" (5.08 cm) of duct to overlap the exhaust pipe. Cut off and remove excess duct. Keep the duct as straight as possible for maximum airflow.
• Secure the duct to the exhaust pipe with the other clamp.

Installation Instructions

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER (cont.)

• DO cut duct as short as possible and install straight into wall.

DO use elbows when turns are necessary.

Elbows

DO NOT bend or collapse ducting. Use elbows if turns are necessary.

DO NOT use excessive exhaust length. Cut duct as short as possible.

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; one elbow of 45^ or less may be ignored.
• Two 45^ elbows will be treated like one 90^ elbow.
• For the side exhaust installations, add one 90^ elbow to the chart.
• For every additional 90^ elbow, reduce the allowable vent system length by 10 feet (3 m).
• When calculating the total vent system length, you must add all the straight portions and elbows of the system (including the transition duct).

EXHAUSTING THE DRYER (cont.)

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^ (30.5 cm) above ground level or any other obstruction with the opening pointed down.

SEPARATION OF TURNS

• For best performance, separate all turns by at least 4 ft. (1.2 m) of straight duct, including distance between last turn and dampened exhaust hood (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 (6.4 mm) 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 build-up.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• Remove and discard existing plastic or metal foil duct and replace with UL-listed duct.
• Remove any lint from the wall exhaust opening.

STANDARD REAR EXHAUST

We recommend that you install your dryer before installing your washer. This will permit direct access for easier exhaust connection.

Slide the end of the exhaust duct on the back of the dryer and secure with duct tape or a hose clamp.

NOTE: We strongly recommend using rigid metal exhaust duct. However, if flexible ducting is used it must be UL-Listed metal, not plastic.

• For straight line installation, connect the dryer exhaust to the external exhaust hood using duct tape or clamp.

RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATION TO MINIMIZE EXHAUST BLOCKAGE

Using duct elbows will prevent duct kinking and collapsing.

Troubleshooting Tips... Before you call for service

Problem Possible Cause 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. NOTE: Some electric 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.
	ecoDry is enabled	The ecoDry 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.
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: Some electric dryers use two fuses/ breakers, 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.
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.
Time Remaining jumped 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 Wrinkle Care option was chosen	This is normal. During extended tumbling, the time remaining is not displayed. The extended tumbling option lasts approximately 60 minutes.
"Check Vent" light is on	Lint filter is full Clean lint filter, dry a load on an automatic cycle and verify that light turns off.
	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. Dry a load on an automatic cycle and verify that light turns off.
	Exhaust system is blocked Inspect and clean the exhaust system. Dry a load on an automatic cycle and verify that light turns off.

Troubleshooting Tips... Before you call for service

Problem Possible Causes What To Do
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. NOTE: Some electric dryers use 2 fuses/breakers, make sure both are operating.
	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.
	No heat temperature selected	Select another heat setting
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 re-selected each time a new load is put in.
	Small load	When drying 3 items or less, choose QUICK DRY or TIMED DRY.
	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.
	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 Wrinkle Care option.
	Overloading Separate large loads	into smaller ones.
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.
