GE dryer model number GFD55GSSNWW getting error code E20. We cannot find codes anywhere in the manual. New gas dryer.
New GE GTD72EBSNWS dryer delivered today, the installer started it and said let it run an hour to burn off coating on drum.
I let it run, then started a load of laundry, but when I put it in the dryer the display scrolled Open door (or door Open).
I tried pausing and restarting, turning off power and turning it on and restarting, opening and closing the door, pushing the plunger that senses the door is closed, and then finally lifting the lint filter out and replacing it, then was able to run a load.
Will the dryer refuse to start unless you take the lint filter out and replace it when you start each load?
The lint filter was clean (obviously) since the first cycle was run empty.
The lint filter light wasn’t on, and the manual doesn’t list “Open door” (or “door Open”) in the error codes or troubleshooting guide.
I cleaned the lint filter (barely a skin of lint) after the first load of clothes, but now I’m wondering if the next load is going to give the same error.
Dryer shows Low Air on panel. Model number is GFD14EESSWW. What is going on? In door filter is clean.
On first plug in, my GE GFD series dryer has every light on the control panel blinking and unresponsive. The typical “hard reset” (unplug for a minute and then open and shut the door 6 times in 12 seconds) doesn’t fix the problem.
Does anyone have a thought? TIA
My dryer is a model GFD. Code is 007. Have checked wiring from breaker to plug. From plu to dryer. Cord on dryer is correct. I have correct voltage at breaker, plug, and dryer wiring block. What you think. I’m a electrician.
Our GE Profile dryer is flashing IH code. What does this mean
GE dryer won’t work and has E6 on screen.
