If I could give it a negative... I would! I ordered it brand new, in the box so, I expected it to be 100% functional. But, after the installation (by the installers) the dryer did not dry! It took about 3 cycles to make the clothes damp. Afterwards, I looked at the reviews and saw others had the same problem! I should have investigated before purchasing.

Disappointed with the performance of the dryer. It takes twice as long as our old dryer to dry loads. Our old dryer was also GE and a very similar model. It dried very well, but kept falling apart. I guess it is time for a change to a deferent brand, since our ge washer, witch is same age as our old dryer, in now giving us trouble.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi - We are truly sorry to hear how unhappy you are with your new dryer and the length of time it takes to dry a load. This is not the owner experience we want for you. Some thoughts regarding your concern - using the proper venting material and making sure the vent ductwork is the proper length is very important to the operation of your dryer. GE Appliances recommends the use of a solid metal vent pipe 4" in diameter for adequate operation. 4" diameter flexible metal venting may be used but will increase the drying time. GE Appliances does not recommend the use of flexible, white, plastic vent pipe. This type of vent pipe can collapse and restrict the airflow, causing lint to build up inside the dryer. This build-up could cause the heaters to fail prematurely and affect drying performance. We also recommend you check for any type of obstruction in the venting or in the wall cap on the outside of your home. If you continue to experience long dry times, we encourage you to call GE Appliances service at 1-800-432-2737 to schedule an appointment to have the dryer checked. We are confident our highly skilled service technicians can help. All our best! Vikki@GEAppliances
