Frequently asked questions- 

Q1: Does the unit have a drum light?
A: Yes, this model features an LED interior light for better visibility when loading and unloading clothes.

A: Yes, the door is reversible, allowing flexible installation to suit your laundry room layout.
Q4: What are the venting options?
A: The dryer supports 4-way venting—rear, left, right, or bottom—for versatile installation setups.
Q5: Why is my dryer taking so long to dry clothes?

Q6: Why won’t the dryer start?

A: This could be due to a blown thermal fuse, a defective heating element, or a faulty thermostat. These components should be tested and replaced by a qualified technician if necessary.
Q8: Can I use dryer sheets?
A: Yes, you can use dryer sheets approved for GE dryers. Follow the manufacturer’s directions to avoid residue buildup on the lint filter.
