Sensor Dry

Time Dry

This feature is activated in 

Timed Dry 

&

 Quick 

Fluff

 cycles. The time (10, 20, 30, 40, . . . 80, 90, 

99) is specified via the 

Time

 button.

This feature activated in all but the Timed 

(

Timed Dry

 & 

Quick Fluff

) and Steam (

Steam 

Refresh

 & 

Steam Dewrinkle

) cycles.

The 

Sensor Dry

 provides greater drying 

accuracy than standard machines, resulting 

in shorter dry times and better clothes care. 

As the clothes tumble, they touch a moisture 

sensor. The sensor will stop the heating cycle 

as soon as the clothes have reached the 

selected dryness.

This dryer will adjust the initial estimated 

drying time of the sensor dry cycles as it 

“learns” its installation and usage profile. 

Please allow several weeks for the dryer to 

customize itself to “you”.

Stainless Steel Drum

Drum Light

The stainless steel used to make the dryer drum 

provides the highest reliability available in a GE 

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.

The drum light is an LED light. Replacement must 

be done by a qualified technician.

About the dryer features.

 

More Options

Drum Light 

The drum light will go on if the 

Drum Light 

button is pushed or the door is opened. It will stay on until the door is shut or the 

Drum 

Light

 or 

Power

 button is pushed.

Variable Signal

Use the 

Variable

 

Signal 

button to change the volume of the end of cycle and control signals. Press the button until you reach the 

desired volume (low-med-high) or off. The clothes should be removed when the beeper goes off so wrinkles do not set in.

NOTE:

•  Remove garments promptly at the sound of signal. Place clothes on hangers so wrinkles will not set in.

• Use the 

Variable

 

Signal

 especially when drying fabrics like polyester, knits and permanent press. These fabrics should be removed 

so wrinkles will not set in.

Control Lock

You can lock the controls to prevent any selections from being made. Or you can lock the controls after you have started a 

cycle. Children cannot accidentally start the dryer by touching buttons with this option selected.

To lock the dryer controls,

 press and hold the 

Drum Light 

and 

Variable Signal

 buttons at the same time for 3 seconds. The control 

lock icon will light up when locked. 

To unlock the dryer controls,

 press and hold the 

Drum Light 

and 

Variable Signal

 buttons at 

the same time for 3 seconds.

My Settings

As the cycle selector knob is turned, the 

Time

 

(Timed Dry),

 

Level 

(Dryness Level)

, and 

Temp

 

(Temperature)

 settings change to 

automatic pre-set default settings. If you desire a different setting, press the appropriate button(s). Then press and hold the 

My 

Settings

 button for 3 seconds. The status heart and button lights will turn on and the dryer will save these settings for that knob 

selection. In the future, when you turn the selector knob to that cycle, your settings will be automatically recalled.
To temporarily (for this load) return to the pre-set default settings, depress the 

My Settings

 button for 1/2 second. The status heart 

and button lights will turn off and the options will change back to these defaults. To make these default settings permanent, hold the 

My Settings

 button again for 3 seconds to make them your preferred settings (the lights will turn back on).

NOTE:

 

Variable Signal

 volume cannot be set for
