What To Do
• Make sure the dryer plug is pushed completely into
the outlet.
• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace
fuse or reset breaker. NOTE: Electric dryers use two fuses
or breakers.
• Check the house 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.
• Make sure gas shutoff at dryer and main shutoff are
fully open.
• Refill or replace tank. Dryer should heat when
utility service is restored.
• Move dryer to an even floor space, or adjust leveling legs
as necessary until even.
• Follow directions on fabric softener package.
• Use your dryer to dry only clean items. Dirty items can
stain clean items and the dryer.
• Sometimes stains which cannot be seen when the
clothes are wet appear after drying. Use proper
washing procedures before drying.
• Clean lint screen before each load.
• Sort lint producers (like chenille) from lint collectors
(like corduroy).
• See suggestions in this section under STATIC.
• Separate large loads into smaller ones.
• Empty all pockets before laundering clothes.
• Try a fabric softener.
• Bounce ® Fabric Conditioner Dryer Sheets have been
approved for use in all GE Dryers when used in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• Try a fabric softener.
• Adjust setting to LESS DRY or DAMP DRY.
• Try a fabric softener.
• Automatic drying times will vary according to the type
of heat used (electric, natural or LP gas), size of load,
types of fabrics, wetness of clothes and condition of
exhaust ducts.
