How to Clean the Lint From a GE Front Loader

GE front-load dryers offer a range of options and features for your laundry needs. All GE front-load dryers have a lint filter inside the door. The filter traps lint to prevent clogs in the exhaust duct, and it needs to be cleaned out after every load. If the filter becomes too full, it can keep the load from drying completely, cause the dryer to overheat and use extra energy. Deep clean the lint filter periodically to remove any fabric-softener residue and keep your GE front-load dryer working its best.
