A:AnswerHi,
Good question! We thank you for your interest in this dryer and would love to provide you with an answer. Most electric dryer power cords are sold separately to ensure that they comply with all state and local wiring codes. These codes can vary significantly from state to state, and even, city to city. Since it is not possible to anticipate the final destination of a dryer as it leaves the assembly line and install the proper cord, the local dealer usually provides the power cord. Vent kits will have to be purchased separately as well. We hope this helps! Have a great day.

A:AnswerHello Nancy! We appreciate your question. This is not a vent-less dryer. This unit must be vented to the outdoors. You can find instructions on how to exhaust this dryer on page 23 of the Use and Care manual online at this link: https://files.bbystatic.com/HqfthAO2HPM4VEIbLJXrkw%3D%3D/ae7997c2-194d-4d9e-9c10-2d1142021472.pdf
We hope this helps! Emily@GEA

A:AnswerThe default for drying towels is 53 minutes and they were completely dry at the end of the cycle. The wash cycle is different for different items but for towels it is 1 hour and 1 minute long.
A:AnswerThe coating coming off the back wall of the dryer is not normal, and we strongly advise scheduling service with our Bodewell technicians to get this issue properly resolved. You can schedule an appointment with a Bodewell technician by calling 833-4BODEWELL (833-426-3393) or schedule online at https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm
A:AnswerAs good stewards of our environment we no longer include an Owner's Manual with our appliances. We offer the most current literature in electronic format on our website for you to view, download or print. The literature is also available by clicking on the Features tab and then scroll to the bottom of the Features list to see all available literature. -Vikki@GEAppliances
A:AnswerCheck the "Exhausting The Dryer" section on pages 25-30 of the Installation Instructions to make sure the dryer venting is correct. Also, make sure the ducting is clean, free of kinks and unobstructed. If this doesn't prove helpful, we recommend that you take advantage of the one year warranty by scheduling a service appointment for one of our Bodewell technicians to assess your unit. You can schedule an appointment by calling us at: 833-4BODEWELL (833-426-3393). -Don@GEAppliances
A:AnswerThe 3 is part of the manufacturing code which tells us, the manufacturer, more information about the specific model you have. - Julia@GEAppliances
A:AnswerYes, this dryer model GFD55ESSNWW offers the same dimensions as washer model GFW550SSN5WW. They are a comparable matching pair. -Vikki@GEAppliances
A:AnswerWattage is voltage x amperage.
W=240 x 25
W = 6000
Of course, watts at any particular moment will depend on heat setting and other factors.
And in my experience--it need to be higher! Clothes are never dry after the first cycle, regardless of setting. Don't buy this, we regret doing so.
A:AnswerI have washed a king size comforter in this machine. I think ours is quite thick and I had to run an extra rinse and spin cycle to remove some leftover soap.
