Love the dryer

I love how quiet the dryer is as well as the options for cycles. My dryer was 12 years old. I also love the melodic noises it makes when the clothes are dry.
Always slow to dry, after 3 months stopped drying at all
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We'd like to help out with your dryer no longer drying.
We recommend checking for any obstruction in the ductwork. Make sure the outside wall cap or damper is operating easily. If flexible ducting is used, be sure that it is not kinked. Also, remember to check if the lint filter is cleaned before each cycle.
If you are still noticing issues, we suggest scheduling service with our Bodwell team. You can do so by calling 1-833-426-3393 or by visiting this link: https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service
The GE model GTD58EBSVWS, 7.4 cu ft dryer wasn't my first choice (I prefer the Whirlpool with the pull-down hamper door), but I bought this one to match the GE GTW585BSVWS, 4.5 cu ft top-load washer, which has thus far been great. Sensor drying of the GE model GTD58EBSVWS dryer often stops the load while some clothes, especially pants, are still damp around the waistline or pockets. I find myself setting the dryer to More Dry now on a regular basis; kind of surprised that this only initiates a 30-minute cycle. My dryer had issues with the lint screen. The screen's plastic frame/housing was malformed, with extra "flash" in the left corner, making it difficult to remove the lint screen. Also, the design where the lint screen is below the dryer door results in a substantial lint deposit forming in the bottom of the dryer cabinet after 8-10 weeks, under the lint screen, even though I clean the lint screen after EVERY load. (I've viewed a few YouTube movies on how to clean the lint out of the dryer bottom, and they're usually GE dryers.) Why can't the dryer be designed so that all the lint can be caught by the screen? The buildup of lint creates a potential fire hazard! I've just invested in a slim vacuum hose and tip and special brush so that I can clean the lint without having to disassemble the dryer.

We'd like to assist you with your dryer. When it comes to a change in the dryer's performance, we do recommend vacuuming the lint from the dryer lint filter area. You can find this information on page 11 of the owner's manual. Here is the link: https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--twdH2OD5--/80509adbcc4074029478592026bc8b47388dd5a6.pdf

As far as the drying, there are a few possible reasons that can cause the clothes to still be slightly wet, such as improper sorting, underloading, or large loads of heavy fabrics. We recommend referring to page 12 of the owner's manual for troubleshooting.
