• Call 800.GE.CARES to order nozzle replacement kit WE25M71
or to request a service technician to replace this for you.
• Load fewer garments; manually increase time.
• Clean lint filter
• This is normal. When the dryer senses a low level of
moisture in the load, the dryer will display the dry time
remaining.
• This is normal. During Extended Tumble option/Steam Refresh
cycle, the time remaining is not displayed. The extended
tumble option lasts approximately 60 minutes.
• A dry cycle must be re-selected each time a new load
is put in.
• When drying 3 items or less, choose Speed Dry or Timed Dry.
• Choose Speed Dry or Timed Dry to dry damp collars
and waistbands. In the future, when drying a load with
collars and waistbands, choose More Dry.
• Move dryer to an even floor space or adjust leveling legs
as necessary until even.
