The GE GFD45ESSKWW is a current GE front-load electric dryer with steam. A mid-tier GE electric dryer — a heating element or thermal-fuse failure shows up as a dryer that tumbles but produces no heat.
GE dryers (GTD family) with electronic controls read E1 (thermistor failure), E2 (high-limit thermostat tripped or inlet thermistor short), and E3 (exhaust over-temperature, usually a blocked vent — clean the vent before further use). Timer-dial models carry no code. The most common cause of poor drying on any build is a lint-clogged vent, not a part, so we clear the vent path and test the heat circuit and sensors.
