Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the 7.2 Cu. Ft. Electric Dryer's performance, ease of use, capacity, and price. Many appreciate its quiet operation and the dryer's size. However, some customers reported issues with the dryer door's functionality and the heating element's reliability. A few also mentioned the buzzer's volume as a potential drawback.

    Not heating up after purchasing two months ago

    Purchased on June 14, 2023 or thereabout. Purchased on Total Tech, installed by Total Tech. This past Sunday, it stopped heating up. No clear reason why. I'm fairly handy, tried multiple different settings. No luck. More frustrated than anything because this thing is only two months old. Tech appointment is next Wednesday, hoping this can get it fixed. At this point I just want to return it but of course, this happened LITERALLY two days after the return window ended. Sigh.

    Brand New GE dryer HORRID GRINDING SOUNDS

    Old dryer from Sears of 11 years failed and went to Best Buy for a new one. This GE dryer started off great but not long until it made a horrible grinding sound. Checked to see if vents were hooked up wrong? They were fine. Dryer Off balance? No. Tried to sit something on top of dryer to stop sound. Didn’t help. Horrible grinding noise continues. Very unhappy will be calling to get Best Buy to look at it and make this purchase right. Avoid this dryer. BUYER BEWARE!!! AWFUL GRINDING SOUNDS. BRAND NEW DRYER. TWO DAYS OLD.

    The lint trap is really small. Be sure to check it half way when you dry a load of towels.

    Bought November 28th 2023 and stop heating January 17th. It didn’t even last 2 months. And I can’t return because the return date ended January 13th. On top of that GE said this items warranty is outdated due to the age of this appliance. So be sure to have a receipt that’s proved you bought this item within 12months or you will end up having to pay for repairs on a item that bestbuy sold you that has an out of date manufacturer warranty.

    MACHINE SEEMS FINE BUT VERY DISAPPOINTED - NO POWER CORD CAME WITH MACHINE.?! SEEMS YOU HAVE TO BUY THE INSTALLATION TO GET ACCESSORIES. ACCESSORIES? LIKE A POWER CORD TO RUN THE MACHINE? PAY ATTENTION TO THE FINE PRINT ALTHOUGH I HAVE YET TO FIND IT.

      Hello there. Thank you for reaching out. We apologize for the hassle of not providing a power cord. We don’t provide them as there are different types (three pronged or four) and lengths (four to six feet) that are needed. If you haven’t already, please check out page 15 on your Owner’s Manual, that shows the different cords with their part numbers that are available for your dryer. If you have any questions, please contact us at 1-877-959-8688. Thanks. -Arnesha@GEA GE_Appliances
