A real downgrade from the prior version. Makes an awful noise that is impossible to turn off!!

The end-of-cycle sound on your dryer cannot have the volume reduced or disabled. We will pass your feedback on this signal along to our product team for review.
Had less then 2 years already replaced purple wire twice second time it melted and shorted to chassis blowing hole in it while melting connection so had to replace heating element as well. This also caused the timer control to freeze up meaning very hard to turn so had to replace. So one more chance then no more GE dryers for me. You would think GE would fix the purple wire issue.

We would like to review your situation further and have sent you an email requesting additional information to do so. Please respond at your earliest convenience.
Love how easily the door opens. Wish there was a volume button on the buzzer indicating time is up. Also auto stop would be an improvement. After going out to the store, came home to the buzzer, and dryer, still going! Over an hour later.
We purchased this brand and it is not our usual brand but because it was the only one that would fit in the area that has been designated for a dryer for 48 years. It seems to run ok but the door is very hard to shut. I don't like slamming doors but this one you have to slam. We are hoping it loosens up to be perfect and a bit more easy to shut. The price seemed a little steep for the average dryer but the fit was what we needed.
Although my new GE dryer is basically the same dimensions outside as my previous GE (because both washer and dryer are in a closet), the inside seems smaller. It takes 80 minutes to dry a load of clothes or a load of towels. I’m very disappointed. Just wish I had more room for a larger and better dryer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We want to help you with your dryer taking too long to dry. We recommend sorting your load properly, thick, heavy, bulky fabrics need more dry time than lightweight fabrics. Additionally, we recommend cleaning the lint filter every load.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the capacity of your unit, and we are going to share your comments with our product team for review.
Well all things considered we should have had our old dryer fixed instead of buying this unit. It's much cheaper with no lights and far less options. We made a mistake. Should have stayed with the older unit.
