Rating Summary
“New GE Dryer works great but lint filter is poorly designed.”
- a comparison shopper
GE dryer —
I replaced an older Kenmore dryer with a new GE dryer (Model #DWSR463EG6) to match the GE washer I bought. I wish now I had kept my old Kenmore. The GE works great but the lint filter is awful. It is too small and right in front of the door, so when it fills up during the drying cycle it often overflows back onto the clothes, or when you open the door and pull out clothes, the lint from it gets on the clean clothes. So, the new routine is.... always clean the filter before taking out the clothes.
The filter also has gaps in the bottom of it, so a lot of lint falls down underneath the filter when you pull it out to clean it. This mean lint is piling up somewhere in the bottom of the dryer or on the floor underneath the dryer. Either way, I am not happy with the lint filter design at all.
