DHDSR46EG - GE 7.0 Cu. Ft. Super Capacity Electric Dryer

by Brenda
(Powell, TN)

We purchased this dryer in March 2007 when we bought our new home. This is the first dryer I have owned as previously I've used the units at the apartment complexes where I lived. So far this dryer has been great for us. It seems to dry quickly and efficiently.


I usually set it on Optimum dry unless I am drying a load of delicates (when I set it on a specific time). I like the different choices available and they all seem to dry quickly.

My only complaint so far is cleaning out the are that the lint screen sits in. I have 2 dogs and lots of dog hair so the lint screen is always full. I am able to clean the actual screen off, but getting the stuff from the area the screen slides into is tough. It is just a little too narrow for the vacuum to fit so I bought a brush.

That gets most of it, but there are little creases that I can't get in to. That alone isn't enough to keep me from buying this same dryer again. I would recommend this dryer definitely. It works very well for our family.

NO MODEL NUMBER BAD TIMER SWITCH
by: Anonymous

THE TIMER SWITCH WOULD STICK AND BREAK THE KNOB. AFTER REPLACING THE KNOBS SEVERAL TIMES I TRIED TO REPLACE THE TIMER SWITCH BUT THE MODEL NUMBER WAS NOT ON THE DRYER SO IT IS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO FIND THE RIGHT SWITCH. I BOUGHT IT AT HOME DEPOT AND THEY CAN'T EVEN TELL ME THE MODEL NUMBER. DON'T BUY ONE!

not expensive but a bit flimsy
by: Anonymous

Pros
- Easily available,
- low price

Cons
- Loud buzzer with no volume control,
- flimsy lint filter

I like this clothes dryer first of all because it was readily available to buy from my local large home improvement center, a store that I can trust, and a store that has very competitive prices. I was able to purchase it and take it home within a very short time frame, knowing that if I had any problems I could easily return it. I also like this dryer because it was not expensive and yet it has worked very well and is reliable. It has all the settings that I need and reliably dries the clothes to my specifications.

The control panel is easy to understand and color coded so my kids have no problem using it correctly. I is hard to write a con about this dryer but if I had to write one it would be that the buzzer is very loud and even though there is a volume control knob, it doesn't seem to change the volume no matter what setting it is on. Another con would be that the lint filter is slightly flimsy. It may become loose as time goes on and not filter properly. For now it is fine though.

Water puddles!
by: Anonymous

Purchased brand new at Brandsmart, installed by their "professionals" - have water puddles under left front every time I run a load - bad venting?
