Warranty Information
GE provides a one-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
The dryer operates by drawing air into the cabinet, heating it, and circulating it through the drum to dry clothes. Moisture is removed as water vapor and vented through the exhaust. The process is controlled by temperature sensors, a control board, and various safety thermostats. Cycles range from sensor drying to timed drying, with options for different temperatures and dryness levels. Features include a drum lamp, drying rack (on some models), and a delay start option. Error codes are displayed on the control panel to aid in troubleshooting.
