Asked 9 years ago by deal53.

• A:Answer Hi deal53- This is Sue at GE Appliances. Thanks for viewing our GE Series Dryers! Yes, the back of the dryer is flat. We encourage you to view the Quick Specs for a view of the back of the dryer and complete dimensions. 1" rear clearance is recommended: http://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=GTX33EASK_C3.pdf - Also, GE Appliances recommends the use of solid metal vent pipe, 4" in diameter, for adequate operation. 4" flexible metal venting may be used, but will increase drying time somewhat. GE Appliances does not recommend the use flexible, white, plastic vent pipe. This type of vent pipe can collapse and restrict the airflow, causing lint to build up inside the dryer. This build-up could cause the heaters to fail prematurely. We hope this is helpful. Thanks for checking with us!

Q: QuestionThe vent for my dryer is on the side . But I need a long vented small dryer. Is it ok to get this one and have the vent go to the back of the dryer . I have 6 inches on space for the vent back there . Or do I need to get a side vented dryer?

Asked 4 years ago by Betty.

• A:Answer Hi! Thanks for reaching out. This model can actually be vented through the rear, bottom, left, or right. If you vent the unit using any of the options other than the rear, you'd need to purchase the following part to make sure that the rear of the unit is covered: WE49X22606. More information about exhausting your dryer can be found starting on page 12 of your Installation Instructions. Hope this helps. Best wishes. -Michael@GEA

Q: QuestionSo I bought this a week ago. The other dryers that I have had in the past, have made the clothes hot or the touch is there something wrong with my dryer because they don’t even feel as hot, but do dry

Asked 7 years ago by CoreyWallace.

• A:Answer Hi CoreyWallace - The Auto Dry feature on GE dryers is designed to help prevent clothes from over drying. Over drying may reduce the life of the fabric. To avoid over drying, the automatic dry feature helps determine the amount of time necessary to dry a load of clothes. By continually sensing the temperatures of the air in the dryer drum, the thermostat controls the heat source (heater coils or gas valve) and the advancement of the dryer timer. When the laundry is wet, the air is cool in the dryer. As the load begins to dry and the drum air is warm, the heat turns off. As the air cools, the control activates the heat to come on again. This off and on cycling may happen a number of times (depending on the fabric, load size, and cycle selector setting). The cycle selector advances (when the heat is off) until it automatically turns off dryer. Also, there is a "cool down" period at the end of the cycle to reduce wrinkling. Thanks for choosing GE!

Q: QuestionHi - Is this a flat back dryer? It says so when I google it, but it is not indicated in the product description. Thank you

Asked 8 years ago by Marcia.

• A:Answer Hi, Marcia, The picture looks like the flat back dryer that we purchased from Best Buy. It works great, and we are very happy with it. If you get it, and it isn't flat back or fit into your space, the delivery men will take it back and you can get another one. The delivery men are very nice. They will hook up the dryer and check it to see that it works properly. Good Luck, and may the Lord Bless you !
