GE 7.4-cu ft Vented Gas Dryer ( White )

Very Dissappointed

Ordered this dryer through Lowe’s. The rep at Lowe’s recommended I pay extra for someone from Lowe’s to install the dryer because it’s “very complex”. Long story short, two guys showed up to install and hook up the dryer. I was at work of course and my wife called me to tell me that she tried to start a load immediately after they left and it wouldn’t start… so she called the guy that installed and he said he “did what he could”. Thanks man. Anyways, when I got home I immediately went to the dry...

Bad Experience

I purchased this dryer to replace my previous dryer of 11 years. I’ve had the worse experience yet. The dryer lasted about 12 months. It just will not heat to dry the load properly. It’s very inconsistent. Bodewell has come out to service it 4 times already and. cannot seem to fix it for good. It takes 2- 3 hours for one load to dry properly.

When considering a dryer, know how to maintain it.

There are more options for selecting type of load and drying time and intensity. This helps save energy costs as well as the 'wear-and-tear' on the dryer. Knowing how to keep it clean (including the lint catcher) is necessary for optimum efficiency. At least twice a year I clean out the exhaust vent to allow for proper venting. Since I began using this GE dryer, we have experimented with the settings, and one advantage is the digital time display to know when the load would be done so as to...

Disappointed with purchase

I have several complaints: The chitzy and awkward to slide in and out lint tray....not good. It takes so much longer to dry that my old dryer. I've tried different settings and often, even for a small load I have to go twice. Then its very aggrevating when it shuts off prior to cycle(indicating that things are dry..when they clearly are not)..last complaint would be the door that you literally have to slam to stay shut. I have the matching GE washer and have no problems with that...but this ...

What a total let down

I am so disappointed. We literally got this dryer delivered yesterday. First load in and I hear this loud metal scraping noise. I take the laundry out and start it up again, and still hear the noise. The drum is not aligned right or something and is hitting some metal internally. How does a brand new dryer do this? Beyond irritated. Now I get to wait for a repair man to come out at the end of the week to "fix" My brand new dryer that I have used one time. And don't get me started on how not eas...

Performance is great, no complaints

This dryer is just a little smaller than my last one. But it does not perform like it. I have dried from small loads to large ones. My clothes and bedding come out dry, fluffy and no wrinkles. Love it

Great Brand, Amazing Dryer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed to get a new dryer because my 8 year old SamSung dryer broke! I wanted to go with a brand that I trust because prior to Samsung I used to own GE and NOTHING ever happened to it, I just wanted a newer model. Well... that didn't go so well for me and now I am back to ONLY GE! the best brand ever! This dryer dries so quick... I just put it on timer, medium and 60 mins or high on 40 and BAM clothes are perfectly dried and dryer is on the qui...

Overall dissapointed

Capacity is very good. We find the structure to be poor. The door is so flimsy that you have to push at the latching point to get it to close, The lint filter feels like it will break each time it's pulled, The overall unit weight, is far less than our 10 year old Maytag, which indicates a reduction in strength. I believe we will soon regret this purchase. It seems the venting capacity has been increased to a point that the temperature does not allow prompt drying. A second cycle is often nee...

Disappointing Dryer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used GE appliances for over 40 years . . I have never had any issues with any of them over those 40+years. I am disappointed with this dryer. It’s been 3 months and a service man came to my house and had to place an order for a new control panel as it works intermittently. Sometimes I will push the on button to get it to start drying/drum turning etc. and sometimes it’ll start and sometimes it won’t budge. So I am left with wet clothes in ...

Great features DO NOT work

A load of clothes does not dry with first attempt. They are always damp. I have to go to the basement two times and run the dryer again to get clothes dry. I have tried everything, including doing small loads (how efficient is that if I have to run the dryer many more times); changing cycles; changing temperature; making sure only same fabrics are done at same time. For example, men's white crew socks are done alone (small load as it's only for one person. I checked the instruction manual t...
