GE Appliances GTD65EBSJWS how to clean the exhaust duct
At least once a year, to prevent clogging. A partially clogged exhaust lengthens the drying time.
Steps
- Turn off the electrical supply by disconnecting the plug from the wall socket.
- Disconnect the duct from the dryer.
- Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment and reconnect the duct.
Check that the flaps of the exhaust hood move freely when the dryer is operating, and that no birds or insects are nesting in the duct or hood.
