What 353
actually means.
On the GE Profile UltraFast Combo washer-dryer, 353 most often means the lint filter is clogged with fabric softener residue. Its foam filter and mesh screen need a wash, not just a wipe.

What to do when 353 shows on the dryerKind of codeRestricted airflow
Air is not leaving the dryer fast enough. Lint in the duct, a crushed hose behind the machine or a stuck flap on the outside hood is found long before any part fails.
Usually leads toVent cleaning and inspection
The visit that prevents most dryer fires and many of the repairs above it: the duct, the hood and the lint inside the cabinet.
Shows up asDryer Vent Clogged
Weak airflow outside, long drying times and a hot laundry room: the vent is not carrying the air away.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for 353 on its dryers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Remove the lint filter and separate the foam filter from the plastic mesh screen.
Rinse the foam in warm water and scrub the screen with water and a soft brush.
Put the filter back and run a wash and dry cycle; book a visit if 353 returns.
Still there?
It usually turns into vent cleaning and inspection. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
353 is not a drying heater problem. On this appliance it points at the filter first.

Gas dryer
Heat from a burner on natural gas or propane, lit by an igniter and watched over by a flame sensor, with the motor on 120 volts.
Stackable dryer
The dryer half of a stacked pair or a single-frame laundry center, where the height and the closet decide how the repair is done.
