“Just got our new dryer installed. Is it suppose to stop midway through the drying cycle? I’ve cycled my clothes going on three times now because they were still damp. Is the stop and go with the dryer normal? Can this be bypassed?”

Hi Chadi- Thanks for choosing GE! We are sorry to hear this, as it is not something we would expect to occur. If the dryer timer stops during the cycle, check the power supply. Electric dryers require a separate 220-volt outlet, 30 amp dual breaker or two 30 amp fuses. Make sure the front of the dryer is not blocked causing it to overheat. The dryer should be leveled front to back. Using the proper venting and making sure the vent pipe is the proper length is very important to the operation of the dryer. 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. Consult the Installation Instructions for the proper length and number of turns for the vent pipe. See the following link for more details on checking the vent: http://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=18058 - If you would like to schedule a service appointment, please contact GE Appliance Service at 1-800-432-2737 or schedule a service appointment online at: http://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm?ICID=GEARsupportflyout-service - We hope this is helpful.
