Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Fankie1972 - Thanks for choosing GE. We can certainly understand your concern and glad to help. During initial use of a new gas or electric dryer, you may notice an odor that has an oily or burning smell. This odor is considered normal and may be emitted as the natural oils deposited from human hands during product assembly or dust accumulated on various mechanical parts burns off during initial operation. To eliminate this odor, run your empty dryer for 20 minutes. if you smell a slight gas odor, this may be caused by an incorrect flame size and color. The normal flame color is blue with a slight amount of yellow on the tip. If the flame is yellow, please schedule a service appointment with GE Appliances Factory Service: https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm?ICID=GEARsupportflyout-service - Or call 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737).
