our problem will be solved if you dismantle the front end of the dryer
and first making sure you can do this sort of repair is the main
concern.Yes it is a blower problem that may just be a small article of
clothing that has made its way through the lint screen opening and
lodged itself onto the blower housing.On a GE I believe you have to
slide the top forward (this is the top section and to describe it
better ,it is where you would stand if you were to climb up on the
dryer)remove the cover .There is now access to the screws that hold the
front (door assembly/cover)on. Remove any screw that you see that is
holding the front end /door on so you can remove the front.PLEASE
NOTE:Bottom line is this front panel needs to be removed so you can
then pull the blower wheel housing open and see what has happened.You
may find that the top cover doesn't have to be removed so observe the
front of your dryer and picture the whole front off so you now work on
the problem which is on the bottom base and if you follow the path from
your lint screen it will take you to the blower which is always in the
front of your dryer. Ok ???? Please Rate This & please feel free to
call on FIXYA for ALL your questions. Have A Good Day !!

If your blower stops for any reason the Heat stops for Safety purposes so when you repair the blower you have heat again .So don't feel you have 2 problems , its only the 1 your blower. Please Rate This ! Thank You!
