Sears Home Services recommendations for a dryer that is not drying

When the dryer is not drying it can be for many reasons. To avoid replacing unneeded parts we recommend having a Sears Home Services professional perform diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. Our technicians are experienced at diagnosing all types of dryer failures.

What to look out for with a dryer not drying diagnosis

Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your dryer problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.

Troubleshooting a Brand New GE Dryer Not Drying

A brand new GE dryer not drying is an unusual occurrence. If the dryer is a gas model, check to make sure that the installer turned on the gas supply. If you find the gas supply cut-off valve shut, open it and the dryer should heat up and dry properly.

If you have brand new GE electric dryer not drying, check the house circuit breakers for the dryer. The dryer will run if one circuit breaker is on but the 2nd circuit breaker for the heater circuit is tripped. Reset both dryer circuit breakers and the new dryer may begin heating.

Check the exhaust vent duct system for your dryer. Make sure the flexible vent hose behind the dryer is not kinked. Check for lint clogs in the exhaust vent duct system going to the outside of your home. Make sure the damper on the vent cover at the outside of your home opens properly so exhaust air exits the dryer vent properly.

Check the settings on your dryer to make sure that you have the dryer set on a heated cycle. Look for deposits or debris on the moisture sensors of the dryer that would interfere with moisture detection and cause the dryer to end the cycle before clothes is actually dry.

Following these troubleshooting steps can help you avoid an unnecessary service call on a brand new GE dryer not drying. If these tips don’t help, schedule dryer repair service and have a service technician diagnose and fix the drying problem.
