GE dryers,
specifically.
GE Appliances sells full-size electric and gas dryers in front-load and top-load styles and a 24-inch compact line that includes a ventless condensing model. The full-size dryers watch their own airflow, while the compact condensing dryer trades the vent for a water tank and a condenser the owner has to keep clean.

to GE.
The range runs from full-size front-load and top-load dryers, electric or gas, to 24-inch compact dryers, one of them a ventless condensing unit. A compact condensing GE is serviced like a different appliance: no vent, but a tank, a condenser and their seals.
A Check Vent light on the panel
Current full-size GE front-load dryers light Check Vent when they sense reduced airflow from a blocked or restricted vent. It is a prompt to clean the lint filter and the duct, not a report of a failed part.
The duct is on a yearly schedule
GE's manual asks for the exhaust duct to be inspected and cleaned at least once a year, and for the cabinet interior and duct to be cleaned yearly by a qualified service person. A partly clogged exhaust shows up first as longer drying times.
The compact condenser model has owner chores
The ventless compact dryer collects water in a tank that should be emptied after every cycle unless a drain hose is fitted, and its condenser box is meant to be cleaned monthly. A clogged condenser box is listed as a cause of slow drying on that model.
Marks on the drum are cosmetic
Many GE drums use aluminized steel, and GE states that surface blemishes do not affect the drum's function or durability. Spots on the drum are not a repair item unless they are marking the clothes.
Parts
Elements, igniters, belts, rollers and sensors for full-size GE dryers are widely stocked. Compact and newer connected models can need parts ordered by exact model number.
Repair or replace
A GE full-size dryer is usually worth repairing for heat, belt, roller or sensor problems. On an older basic model needing a control board plus other parts, replacement is worth pricing alongside.
