Why are my clothes still wet even though my GE dryer is drying them?

Why your clothes are still wet even though your GE dryer is drying them is usually due to heating problem, vent blockage, or overloading, not because dryer not running. Most common cause is clogged lint filter or blocked vent hose that restricts airflow, causing dryer to overheat and thermal fuse to blow at 10 to 25 dollars, or causing long dry times with clothes damp after cycle, clean lint screen after each load and clean vent hose and outside vent cap yearly. Second, heating element burned out in electric GE dryers like GTD42EASJWW or gas valve coils or igniter failed in gas models, causing dryer to tumble with no heat, clothes still wet, test heating element for continuity and replace at 30 to 80 dollars. Third, overloading beyond 3/4 full prevents hot air circulation, clothes in center stay wet, dry smaller loads. Fourth, wrong cycle selection like using Air Dry or Delicate with low heat for heavy towels, use Normal or Heavy Duty with high heat. Fifth, moisture sensor dirty from dryer sheets coating sensor bars inside drum, clean sensor bars with rubbing alcohol. Sixth, washer not spinning properly, leaving clothes too wet before dryer, check washer spin. To troubleshoot, clean lint filter, check vent for blockage by disconnecting hose and running empty cycle, check if dryer heating by feeling exhaust air warm, and clean moisture sensors.
