Bought this dryer in August to replace a worn out dryer. No problems, but I do have to clean out the vent trap every few days. The old dryer only needed to have the exterior lint trap cleaned out once a month. The dryer needs a larger lint trap inside the door.
It was great the first 3 days we had it had then it began making a noise everytime the drum turned. GE was quick to come out to see what the problem was, apparently the drum was warped, something that happened most likely during manufacturing. Drum was replaced and it has worked great since.
This dryer works well but the fit/design of the lint trap allows a great deal of stuff to get past it. Thus making it a VERY loud dryer. I bought a small hose attachment for my vacuum to get down in there which does the trick but is a HUGE hassle every time I want to use it.
