Care and cleaning
Interior
The interior of the appliance should be cleaned once a year.
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.
Lint Filter
Clean the lint filter before each use.
Pull out the lint filter. Moisten your fingers and remove the captured lint. Once clean, slide
the filter back into position. Have a qualified technician vacuum the lint from the dryer once
a year.
NEVER OPERATE THE DRYER WITHOUT ITS FILTER IN PLACE.
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.
Drum Lamp
NOTE: The drum lamp is not consumer replaceable on models where there is a domed
cover over an LED bulb. If this light should ever stop working, call for service.
For models that have a flat cover over the bulb secured by a screw:
Before replacing the light bulb, be sure to unplug the dryer power cord or disconnect the
dryer at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit
breaker. Reach above dryer opening from inside the drum to locate the light.
Remove the screw and the plastic cover to access the bulb. Replace with the appropriate
bulb and then reaffix the cover and screw.
Order replacement bulb WE11X26351 on-line at GEApplianceParts.com, by phone at 877.959.8688 during normal
business hours, or purchase appliance bulb 7C7 from your local retailer.
When the door is opened, the drum lamp automatically turns on and remains on for 2 minutes. When the door is closed,
the drum lamp will remain on for 30 seconds.
