The dryer isn’t drying the clothes fully on the first go round even on the dry more selection we have to dry the clothes twice for them to be completely dry

We want to help you with your dryer. Your model has a feature that allows for energy savings. It is called Eco Dry. The cycle times will change when Eco Dry is selected. The Eco Dry option will default to on for Cottons. For optimal energy savings, turn Eco Dry on. For optimal drying times, turn it off. Energy savings will vary across loads and cycles. It's also important to check your vent and make sure it isn't blocked. Please take a look at the following link: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=18058&_gl=1*1qbalz5*_ga*NTY2ODIwNTg1LjE2ODkxMTA0ODg.*_ga_QEC75X7XEX*czE3NzczOTkxMzAkbzM1JGcxJHQxNzc3Mzk5MTM1JGo1NSRsMCRoMTQ1NTM0ODQxMA..*_fplc*b1hGMmprYk9LSWNJTVhjS0s0akY3eklDOW4xeTVPSkxnVzlFMGd2aDdLcXFKJTJCaFZsbERHJTJCZlc4S1RLcXV1MmY3NWx6JTJCcDZqZng0M2pZRzh3Uk5yUUZ0cmo3RXp5OFRZWXkwdElUTlhIb1N4aG9kJTJGdGR4RHNLNnBMRXhWaXclM0QlM0Q.
I plugged this unit up for the first time and it has a big loud clunking sound not happy with this product and that was the first use. I had to stop it after 30 seconds.

We recommend scheduling an appointment with our Bodewell Service Team so they can come to inspect your dryer by calling 1-833-426-3393 or online here: https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service.
Dryer works well. Gave a four due to the sensor to save energy. So far clothes do not completely dry in this mode. I shut the eco button off and clothes are dry.
It's like the heating element isn't working or is dying. It barely gets warm and takes two cycles to dry even light clothes. Not so happy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We want to help you with your dryer. Your dryer has a feature called Eco Dry/eDry. This feature is available on available for Bulky Items, Towels/Sheets, Cottons, Mixed Load, Jeans, Casuals and Delicates. When the eDry button is pressed, cycle settings change to reduce the total energy consumption of the selected sensor cycle.
Cycle times will change when eDry is selected. The eDry option will default to "ON" for Cottons. For optimal energy savings, turn eDry on. For optimal drying times, turn eDry off.
If turning off the eDry doesn't help with your clothes drying better, please reach out to our Bodewell service team by calling 1-833-426-3393 M-F 8:00-8:00 EST.
The dryer is very loud. When I use the sensor setting, the clothes are rarely dry when it’s done. I also don’t think the dryer heats very hot compared to my last dryer. Overall, very disappointed.

We’re happy to help with the sound level and heating performance of your dryer. We understand you’re comparing it to your previous unit, and it’s important to note that newer models can operate differently due to updated design standards, energy efficiency requirements, and production improvements. As a result, the heating performance may feel different, even though the dryer is functioning as intended.
Some vibration and noise during operation are normal. To help minimize sound, make sure the dryer is placed on a level surface and adjust the leveling legs as needed until it is evenly balanced. For steps on how to level, see page 16 of the Installation Instructions here: https://images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--f3_t_42Y--/yppnc3ffo7zkfp91lbcs.pdf
When combining heavy and light fabrics in a load, it's best to choose the 'More Dry' option. Be sure to clean the lint filter before every load and match the control settings to the load you are drying.
