    Do not buy this dryer unless your goal is to burn your house down. The lint trap simply put DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. ALL the lint simply goes out the back exhaust and is blown out of your building if your vent pipe is clear and gets stuck in the pipe if it isn't clear. I would not recommend this product to my worst enemy and it needs to be pulled from store shelves before it burns someone's home or business to the ground. In case the fire hazard wasn't enough of an issue the buzzer sounds continuously when the unit is in use. As an extra perk: GE customer care is impossible to actually reach. Buyer beware!

    Dryer made grinding noise with first load. Called geek squad and they came right out and fixed the issue by installing a new drum. Seems to work fine now.

    Doesn't dry as well as I thought. My previous smaller older dryer had more heat and dry the clothes 20mins quicker. Sometimes I need to cycle twice just to be sure clothes are dry otherwise it'll have that funky odor

    The dryer takes longer than usual to get a full load of clothes dry, sometimes up to two cicles It seems like it doesn’t get hot enough even on the higher settings

      Hello- We are sorry to hear you are having an issue with your dryer not heating well. We recommend making sure your venting isn't clogged. To check if your venting is clogged, start a timed dry on high heat. Go to the exhaust vent outside and use your hand to verify that the air is very warm and exiting at a decent flow. If there’s little airflow, your venting probably needs to be cleaned or replaced. If the temperature’s too low, there may be an operational issue with the dryer, which should be checked by an authorized service technician. GE Consumer Service can be reached by calling 1-800-432-2737. If you have any questions in the future, please let us know. We are here to help! Joyce@GEA GE_Appliances

    This washing machine is nearly impossible to use. It takes forever to get to a spin cycle and then doesn't spin anything and just drains the water, 3 times without washing anything my soap and water just empties and I get no spin cycle. It's s as if it were just asleep standing up.

    GE Gas Dryer

    Bought open box GE gas dryer. Thermostat & both low and high ignites don't work. Contacted an appliance service company but replacement parts are not in yet. They indicated all parts should have been thoroughly checked by Best Buy before putting unit back on the floor for re-sale. VERY DISAPPOINTED. Will never buy from Best Buy again. I'm sure GE appliances are good products, but why was it not checked over when returned?

    This dryer is pretty good, but takes a little longer to dry my clothes than my old kenmoredid, but it was 25 years old and quit. Don't make anything like they used to.

    This machine was delivered on 9/23. I specified that I needed a gas dryer with side ventilation/exhaust. Machine needed to be30 inches wide. I provided a GE model number. Today is Friday, October 16. Still waiting for a dryer that works. Initially provided wrong vent kit. Don’t know if this dryer works

    My machine is one month old and I have not been able to use it. The dryer tumbles but will not dry. Geek Squad has already said the dryer is bad, but they won’t exchange it and the manufacturer has been a nightmare to deal with. Do not buy this machine nor any other from Best Buy.

    Purchased this dryer after my 20 year old gas dryer finally gave out. It is absolutely great. Dryer clothes in nearly have the time that my old dryer did. Plenty of setting available for all sort of fabrics. Extremely happy with this purchase. I highly recommend it.

    Horrible. Never installed. Waited over two and a half weeks and completely blown off by installation company not once but twice. Can’t express how angry and disappointed I am. I have complained to several people on phone and at the Boardman Ohio store only to be blown off again. HORRIBlE Best Buy

    I bought the washer and dryer set. Within hours of the delivery guys living the agitator came off and was floating around. Nightmare of customer service when the units were picked up. I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM BEST BUY! I went somewhere else and bought the Speed Queen set. So happy with them.
