Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before inspecting venting.
Check venting and condensation:
- Ensure the vent duct terminates outdoors and not into an attic, crawlspace, or garage.
- Inspect the vent for blockages and clean it thoroughly.
- If the vent runs through a cold area, consider insulating the duct to reduce condensation.
- Check for loose vent connections that may allow moist air to escape into the room.
For ventless/condensing GE dryers (if applicable):
- Clean the condenser unit according to the user manual.
- Check the internal drain hose and reservoir for clogs or overfilling.
