Vikki@GEAppliances gave a response that does not clearly address the drying temp. The original question specifically asked about "low heat" for items that could be harmed by "normal" cycle temperatures. I, too, have had questions about this after the delicate cycle shrunk some Poly/Spandex shirts that specified "tumble dry low" Vikki@GEAppliances reply uses the phrases "multiple temperature and humidity sensors", "we never over-dry and we provide an Eco-Dry function (in the menu) which allows you to effectively adjust dryness level as needed", and a statement about how air flow is more important than heat in drying. None of these address the questions of how hot is it in there, and is there a way to make it not as hot in the dryer. Hi - Thank you for reaching out to us. We would recommend using the Delicates cycle for those items requiring special care. Handling all your clothing with care is a top priority and our Profile Combo does this using higher airflow which is the main component of drying, more so than heat. We have incorporated multiple temperature and humidity sensors in the Combo so we never over-dry and we provide an Eco-Dry function (in the menu) which allows you to effectively adjust dryness level as needed. We hope you find this helpful. Kind regards - Vikki@GEAppliances
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't see a way to set the dryer temp to "delicate" or "low". It dries effectively, but seems to use "normal" dryer temp and it's shrunk some cottons I ran through it. I've reached out GE appliance support to find out how, since the manual doesn't cover this (basic) topic. The answer provided by the GE specialist refers to the wash temperature, not the dryer temp.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The delicate cycle works well for me.
