GE profile prodigy - dyer

My dryer constantly has a smell like wet clothes have been in there for too long. I clean out the lint every day - and i unconnected the vent hose in the back - but the msuty smell is still there. It does not make the clothes smell, but my whole laundry room (which is my kitchen) smells and it's driving me crazy! Please help.

Where is the lint screen on a GE prodigy profile top load washer?

most top loader flint collectors are in the top of the agitator where you put in the comforter fabric softener. Pull this section up and the lint sock will be at the bottom of it

Clothes smell after drying

I don't think the problem lies with the dryer, I would suspect the washer has mold, this is especially true on front load washer, they make products designed just for this problem, check with a large retailer, not sure who makes the mold and mildew remover, I think Home Depot or Lowes may have the product or know about it..

GE Profile Prodigy DPR483GAOWW takes 2-3 cyles to dry. Have cleaned lint trap still no success

Our laundry room is in the center of the house and the dryer vent runs underneath the house and every 6 months or so we have to run a plumbing snake all the way through the vent pipe. Once it all the way through the house we then tie a rope to the end of it with a huge knot tied into it, we then snake the rope through the pipe and it pulls out all the lint that has collected inside, someone at each end of the rope (make sure it's long enough) and run it back and forth until no more lint is collected. I hope this might help you.

Ge Profile Gas dryer - It takes 2 hour for a load of towels to dry - iis that normal?

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.

Here is the rest of this tip about Dryer Maintenance

Dyer really hot, not drying clothes

Is the dryer tumbling? If not, you may have a broken belt or some other drive assembly issue.

Also, turn the dryer on and go outside to the vent discharge - you should feel air coming out at a pretty good clip. If not, the vent line is obstructed and will need to be cleaned out.

The dryer is not drying the clothes. It takes two

Take you vent off and remove the restrictions. How about a few repair pix?

Will not drain during spin???

Most likely your outlet filter of the machine is choked with dirt or something; clean out the filter & refit. Of course after taking of the wall plug & siphoning out the water from washer.
