Drying Rack (on some models)
A handy drying rack may be used for drying delicate items such as
washable sweaters.
To install the drying rack:
1Lift the lint filter slightly. (Do not remove the lint filter completely).
2Place the rack in the dryer and lower its front legs and hook them in
the slots.
3Press the rack down flat and lower the lint filter back down into
position.
NOTES:
• The drying rack must be used with the TIMED DRY cycle. Use with
sensor cycles may result in damp items or extended cycle times.
• Do not use this drying rack when there are other clothes in the dryer.
• If your model did not come with a drying rack, order WE01X25160
on-line at GEApplianceparts.com, 24 hours a day or by phone at
877.959.8688 during normal business hours.
Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care label when laundering.
As a general rule, if clothes are sorted properly for the washer, they are sorted properly for the dryer. Try also to
sort items according to size. For example, do not dry a sheet with socks or other small items.
Do not add fabric softener sheets once the load has become warm. They may cause fabric softener stains. Bounce®
Fabric Conditioner Dryer Sheets have been approved for use in this dryer when used in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not overload. This wastes energy and causes wrinkling.

49-3000244 Rev 1 11
Lint Filter
Clean the lint filter before each use.
Remove by pulling straight up. Run your fingers across the filter. A waxy buildup may
form on the lint filter from using dryer added fabric softener sheets.
To remove this buildup, wash the lint screen in warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly
and replace.
Vacuum the lint from the dryer lint filter area if you notice a change in dryer
performance.
NEVER OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT ITS FILTER IN PLACE.
CARE AND CLEANING
Care and Cleaning
Exterior
Wipe or dust any spills or washing compounds with a damp cloth. Dryer control panel and finishes may be damaged
by some laundry pretreatment soil and stain remover products. Apply these products away from the dryer. The fabric
may then be washed and dried normally. Damage to your dryer caused by these products is not covered by your
warranty.
Stainless Steel
To clean stainless steel surfaces use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel
surfaces. Remove the cleaner residue and then dry with a clean cloth.
The stainless steel used to make the dryer drum provides the highest reliability available in a GE Appliances dryer.
If the dryer drum should be scratched or dented during normal use, the drum will not rust or corrode. These surface
blemishes will not affect the function or durability of the drum.
Interior and Duct
The interior of the appliance and exhaust duct should be cleaned once a year by qualified service personnel.
The Exhaust Duct: Inspect and clean the exhaust ducting at least once a year to prevent clogging. A partially clogged
exhaust can lengthen the drying time.
Follow these steps:
1Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting the plug from the wall socket.
2Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
3Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment and reconnect the duct.
The Exhaust Hood: Check with a mirror that the inside flaps of the hood move freely when operating. Make sure that there
is no wildlife (birds, insects, etc.) nesting inside the duct or hood.
Drum Light
The drum light is an LED light. Replacement must be done by a qualified technician.

Clothes take
too long to dry Improper or obstructed ducting Check the Installation Instructions to make sure the dryer venting is correct.
Make sure ducting is clean, free of kinks and unobstructed.
Check to see if outside wall damper operates easily.
Improper sorting Separate heavy items from lightweight items (generally, a
well-sorted washer load is a well-sorted dryer load).
Large loads of heavy fabrics
(like beach towels) Large, heavy fabrics contain more moisture and take longer to dry.
Separate large, heavy fabrics into smaller loads to speed drying time.
Controls improperly set Match control settings to the load you are drying.
Lint filter is full Clean lint filter before every load.
Blown fuses or tripped
circuit breaker Replace fuses or reset circuit breakers. NOTE: Some electric dryers use 2 fuses/breakers, make sure both are operating.
Overloading/combining loads Do not put more than one washer load in the dryer at a time.
Underloading If you are drying only one or two items, add a few items to ensure
proper tumbling.
ecoDry is enabled The ecoDry feature is designed to operate your dryer in the
most energy efficient mode, which is not always the fastest
mode. In some instances, dry times may be extended to
reduce overall energy usage for the cycle.

Troubleshooting Tips... Before you call for service
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Dryer doesn’t
heat Fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped; the dryer may
tumble but not heat
Check the building’s fuse/circuit breaker box and replace both
fuses or reset both breakers. Your dryer may tumble if only one
fuse is blown or one breaker tripped. NOTE: Some electric
dryers use 2 fuses/breakers, make sure both are operating.
Gas service is off (gas
models only) Make sure gas shutoff at dryer and main shutoff are fully open.
LP gas supply tank is empty
or there has been a utility
interruption of natural gas
(gas models only)
Refill or replace tank. Dryer should heat when utility service is
restored.
No heat temperature selected Select another heat setting
Inconsistent
drying times Type of heat Drying time will vary according to the type of heat used. If you recently changed from an electric to a gas (natural or LP)
dryer, or vice versa, the drying time could be different.
Type of load and drying
conditions The load size, types of fabric, wetness of clothes and the length and condition of the exhaust system will affect drying
times.
Clothes are still
wet and dryer
shut off after a
short time
The door was opened
mid-cycle. The load was then
removed from the dryer and
a new load put in without
selecting a new cycle
A dry cycle must be reselected each time a new load is put in.
Small load When drying 3 items or less, choose QUICK DRY or TIMED DRY.

waistbands. In the future, when drying a load with collars and
waistbands, choose More Dry.
Dryer is not level Move dryer to an even floor space or adjust leveling legs as
necessary until even.
Clothes are
wrinkled Overdrying Select a shorter drying time. Remove items while they still hold a slight amount of moisture.
Select a Less Dry or Damp setting.
Letting items sit in dryer after
cycle ends Remove items when cycle ends and fold or hang immediately, or use the Wrinkle Care option.
Overloading Separate large loads into smaller ones.
Clothes shrink Some fabrics will naturally
shrink when washed. Others
can be safely washed, but
will shrink in the dryer.
To avoid shrinkage, follow garment care labels exactly.
Some items may be pressed back into shape after drying.
If you are concerned about shrinkage in a particular
item, do not machine wash or tumble dry it.
Greasy spots
on clothes Improper use of fabric softener Follow directions on fabric softener package.
Drying dirty items with clean

LIRE ET CONSERVEZ CES DIRECTIVES
CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES
LIRE TOUTES LES CONSIGNES AVANT D’UTILISER L’APPAREIL
Pour réduire le risque d’incendie, d’explosion, de choc électrique ou de blessure aux
personnes utilisant cet appareil, observez des précautions élémentaires dont les suivantes :
Ŷ
Lisez toutes les instructions avant d’utiliser l’appareil.
Ŷ
NE séchez PAS les articles qui ont été précédemment nettoyés, lavés, trempés, ou détachés à l’aide d’essence,
de solvants de nettoyage à sec ou d’autres substances inflammables ou explosives, puisqu’ils peuvent émettre
des vapeurs susceptibles de s’enflammer ou d’exploser.
Ŷ
NE placez PAS d’articles exposés aux huiles de cuisson dans la sécheuse. Les articles souillés par les huiles de
cuisson peuvent faciliter des réactions chimiques susceptibles d’enflammer une brassée. Pour réduire le risque
d’incendie en raison de charges contaminées, la dernière partie du cycle de sèche-linge se produit sans chaleur
(période de refroidissement). Évitez d’arrêter une sécheuse avant la fin du cycle de séchage à moins que tous les
articles soient rapidement enlevés et répartis de telle sorte que la chaleur est dissipée.
Ŷ
N’autorisez PAS les enfants à jouer sur ou dans cet appareil. Une surveillance étroite est requise lorsque des
enfants se trouvent à proximité de l’appareil en fonctionnement.
Ŷ
Enlevez la porte de la sécheuse lorsque l’appareil est mis hors service ou au rebut.
Ŷ
NE vous penchez PAS dans l’appareil lorsque le tambour est en rotation.
Ŷ
N’installez PAS et ne rangez PAS cet appareil à un endroit exposé aux intempéries.
Ŷ
NE modifiez PAS les commandes.
Ŷ
ABSTENEZ-VOUS de grimper ou de vous tenir sur l’appareil.
Ŷ
NE réparez PAS cet appareil, en totalité ou en partie, en remplacez une quelconque pièce, à moins que cela ne
soit expressément recommandé dans les instructions d’entretien ou de réparation destinées à l’utilisateur dont
vous avez une compréhension et une compétence suffisantes pour les appliquer.
Ŷ
Suivez toutes les instructions et avertissements de soin des tissus pour éviter que les vêtements fondent ou des
dommages à l’appareil.
Ŷ
N’employez PAS de produits assouplissants NI d’agents antistatiques à moins que leur utilisation ne soit
recommandée par leurs fabricants.
Ŷ
NE sécher PAS des articles qui contiennent du caoutchouc mousse ou des matières à texture caoutchouteuse
similaire.
Ŷ
Nettoyez le filtre à charpie et nettoyez avant ou après chaque chargement.
Ŷ
N’utilisez PAS la sécheuse sans que le filtre à charpie ne soit en place.
Ŷ
NE rangez PAS de matières combustibles, de l’essence ni d’autres liquides inflammables à proximité de la
sécheuse. Gardez la zone autour de l’ouverture d’évacuation et tout l’espace adjacent libres de charpie, de
poussière et de saletés.
ŶL’intérieur de l’appareil et le tuyau d’évacuation doivent être nettoyés régulièrement par du personnel qualifié.
Ŷ
Débranchez l’appareil ou fermez le disjoncteur avant une réparation. Le fait d’appuyer sur le bouton Power
(Alimentation) ou sur le bouton Start/Pause (Mise en marche/pause) NE coupe PAS l’alimentation électrique.
Ŷ
NE faites PAS fonctionner cet appareil s’il est endommagé, ne fonctionne pas correctement, est en partie
démonté, ou encore si des pièces sont manquantes ou abîmées, y compris le cordon électrique ou sa fiche.
Ŷ
NE vaporisez AUCUN type d’aérosol dans, sur ou à proximité de la sécheuse, et ce en tout temps. N’utilisez
AUCUN type de nettoyant en vaporisateur lorsque vous nettoyez l’intérieur de la sécheuse. Cela poserait un
risque de vapeurs dangereuses ou de choc électrique.
Ŷ
Consultez la section « RENSEIGNEMENTS SUR LES RACCORDS ÉLECTRIQUES » des instructions
d’installation pour connaître la procédure de mise à la terre.
