cycle.

1

Wrinkle Care

Use this option to minimize the wrinkles in clothes. It provides 1 hour of no-heat tumbling after the clothes are 

dry. If you have 

Sound

 option enabled and you select the 

Wrinkle Care

 option, a signal will sound at the end of 

the drying time and several times during the 

Wrinkle Care

 cycle. This will remind you that it is time to remove 

the clothes.

Damp Alert

This option causes the dryer to beep when clothes have dried to a damp level. Remove items that you wish 

to hang dry. The 

Damp Alert

 will only beep when this option is selected (but the dry cycle will keep running). 

Removing clothes and hanging them when they are damp, can reduce the need to iron some items. The light 

beside the button will be lit when 

Damp Alert

 is on.

NOTE:

 On some models this features is only available through the GE Appliances SmartHQ App.

•  Remove garments promptly at the sound of signal. Place clothes on hangers so wrinkles will not set in.
•  Use the 

Damp Alert

 especially when drying fabrics like polyester, knits and permanent press. These fabrics 

should be removed so wrinkles will not set in.

My Cycle

As the cycle selector knob is turned, the 

Time

 (timed dry), 

Level 

(dryness level) and 

Temp

 (temperature) 

settings change to automatic pre-set default settings. If you desire a different setting, press the appropriate 

button(s). Then press and hold the 

My Cycle

 button for 3 seconds and the dryer will “remember” these settings 

for that Knob Selection. In the future, when you turn the selector knob to that cycle, your settings will be 

automatically recalled. 

NOTE:

 Signal sound cannot be set for 

My Cycle

.

NOTE:

 On some models this features is only available through the GE Appliances SmartHQ App.

Washer Link

This feature wirelessly links your washer to your dryer and uses the connection information to automatically 

adjust the settings of your dryer for the clothes just washed. If the dryer has a valid WiFi connection, and the 

Washer Link

 option is selected, either via the button or the App, the light above the button will be lit. If the 

option is not selected then the light will turn off. If the dryer does not have a valid WiFi connection, and this 

option is selected, either via the button or the App, the WiFi light and the 

Washer Link

 light will blink and an 

error tone will play. NOTE: Signal sound cannot be set for My Cycle. 

NOTE:

 On some models this features is only available through the GE Appliances SmartHQ App.

Sound

Use the 

Sound

 button to change the volume of the pad presses and the end of cycle signal. Press the button until 

you reach the desired volume or off.

NOTE:

 If your model doesn’t have a 

Sound

 button, press and hold the 

Wrinkle Care

 button for 3 seconds to toggle 

sound option between enabled and disabled. “Sound on” will show on the display and a tone will sound when 

enabled. “Sound off” will show on the display and no tone will sound when disabled.
