Three posible points for squeaking are. 1.)Around the front door seal. there is a gasket sealing the drum to the front load door. 2.) Worn belt that drives the drum from the motor. About 3 ft. in diameter. 3.) Rear bearing that the drum couples to in the back of the machine.

GE dryers have a straight rod in the back center of the drum that goes through the rear bulk head and that is what supports the drum in the rear, it is also what squeaks when it gets warn out , around that short rod that goes into rear bulk head from the drum is a black Teflon plastic sleeve called a barring replace it and that will fix the noise

How can I reduce the humidity of the air expelled from the dryer?

If the aire being expelled is humid then this suggests that the unit if working fine. if clothes are still damp then maybe give them a second spin before putting in the drier, or dry them for longer. Also try putting less in the drier and drying in two loads.

Taking 2 to 3 hours to dry a load of clothes...checked dryer vent from dryer to outside and it is not clogged.. what can the problem be?

Are the clothes hot when you take them out? If not, then maybe your heating element is broken. Easy to replace that, just pick one up from a parts store.

Our dryer started to take a long time to dry clothes but the heating element was working. We opened it up to check for lint and so on, and it turned out that the drum had slipped slightly out of location and the back of the dryer was partially obstructing the duct. That was probably what was making the dryer squeak, too. We reseated the drum easily in a few seconds and now it dries well again.

Hi,

If your
dryer is not drying like it once did or if you just have not taken the time to give yourself a clean dryer in a long time then you need to do that. At least once a year the dryer cleaning should take place. Lint build up in the dryer duct is one of the main causes for your dryer to fail.

Dryer is not heating up to dry clothes

The spark ignitor maybe at fault. Listen for the clicking noise upon starting it up the first 30 seconds it runs. If not heard it is in need of a replacement
