Manufacturer reviews · verified owners of this model

• This dryer is a replacement for the same model that was damaged from a roof water leak. It is a dryer that can hang on the wall and vent vertically thru the roof. It is the only dryer that will fit in our laundry "closet" at our condo. It hangs above the washing machine. We glued two magnets underneath the dryer that hold up the washer lid while the washer is being loaded or unloaded. We lover this dryer and it works fine!

• This dryer works for a small sized load or 8 bath towels. It has settings for everything. I’m very pleased with my purchase

• I need a 24 inch wide that had the controls on the bottom and worked on 220 V. Perfect.

• Quality compact size and performance.  Even low heat setting is very efficient. :-)

• While fitting in a small place in a small apartment, this washer/dryer holds more than twice as much laundry as the washer/dryer it replaced.

• It's fast drying, time saving, nice selections of dry levels and I love it!

• I owned this model for 11 years and when it was time to purchase a new dryer, I bought the exact same model. Due to it's excellent performance, I didn't need to look for a more superior dryer.

• This product is used in a park model vacation home. It does a great job.

• After 12 yrs, my dryer is still doing great. Couple of issues though, 1. the timer knob will need lubrication if stuck (happend twice in my 12 yrs ownership). 2. My unit is sitting in the garage where it gets cold in the winter. The auto shut-off setting will not work due to, I suspect, the temp sensor unable to detect the dryness due to the ambient coldness. Workaround is to use the timer instead. So not biggy. This dryer is simple enough without fancy features, but it does wonderful job keeping my decades old clothes looking new (no kidding).

• When mounted on the required Stack Rack, it requires about 27.5" from front to back. I'm so glad it fit into a pantry closet - now I have everything I need on the main floor.

• We put this dryer in an apartment 5 years ago. Constant use. Still running great. Simple controls, simple lint filter (wish it was a bit bigger) and quiet operation. Just wish the fan had a bit more umph to force the air vertically.

• I've used the same dryer for at least 5 years. The old unit got replaced not because it was inoperative, but was actually due to a bird got into the vent and baby birds got trapped within the dryer's internal duct causing bad smell. Anyway, dryers in this size are hard to find. Dryer is easy to operate; no frills. Noise is at a reasonably low level. Could hardly hear any sound since my dryer is located in a room. Drying time could range from 40 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of fabric. Cycle time could be improved by drying similar fabric at the same time. Filter located by the door is easy to clean. I believe the quality of this new dryer is equally good.

• The dryer works fine. It dries clothing well, but... It has no buzzer to indicate when the cycle ends. Half the time, I forget about it and find wrinkled clothes sitting in the dryer an hour or two later. Then there is the lint filter. First you must slide out a plastic piece and then remove a metal filter basket, which is a little hard to completely clear unless you use a dryer sheet to clear it out. Now lately, it is becoming increasingly hard to open the door. You must tug with all your might.

• The drying time is not as quick as the GE Spacemaker Dryer that I replaced. A load of towels takes twice as long as it used to. The door does not stay open when loading it. The dial does not line up exactly with the labels.

• After making all the changes suggested by GE and repairman. The dryer still doesn't work as well as old 15yr dryer it replaced.

• Noisy. Had problem from start. Already had to request service.

  Waybo08/29/2020 02:25 PM

• Bought because of the GE name. Big mistake. $800 for a cheaply made, flimsy dryer. First issue was grinding noise from drum rubbing inside machine. Then knob fell off.. Also it takes a long time to dry. Now it won't stay running unless you hold the start button in.

  Regretfulbuyer10/11/2025 02:58 AM

• This is my 2nd dryer. The 1st no longer produced heat 15 days after 1 yr warranty ended. 2nd makes a loud deep clang sound when drum rotates w/ & w/out power. Live in condo-only this style fits in the space. Bought warranty w/ Home Depot BUT HD doesn’t have an established service contract w/ anyone in South FL. U have to spend ur own money for repair & they might reimburse you. I’m not here 1/2 the yr, so it’s not getting a ton of use. I’m only 1 person. GE Spacemaker Model DSKS433EB7WW

  unhappy Dryer Customer05/12/2025 05:37 PM

• I'm over 70 years old and throughout my life the GE brand always stood for top-notch quality, and I am extremely disappointed in the product I recently purchased. I had the GE Spacemaker Dryer last 15 years before it gave out and within two weeks of the delivery of the new one, the heat cycle turned to warm and required using the timer for 1 1/2 hours drying a reasonable load of shorts and t-shirts. This week a pounding noise stated as if something came loose in the tumbler. I'm waiting to hear from customer service.

• I live in an apartment and this dryer was provided and is brand new. It’s Horrible. Clothes actually come out wrinkled, even POLYESTER. It’s really hard to wrinkle polyester. Just ridiculous. I’ve tried all the tricks and nothing gets the wrinkles out except ironing. I haven’t had to iron my clothes in 15 years! I’ve old dryers in the past that were way better!! Now I have too purchase my own dryer and rest assured it won’t be GE

• Broke after one month. It has been three weeks now and GE has yet to fix or replace it.!!

• We need a stackable (really need wall mount unit) with bottom controls but have received 2 of this model inoperable straight out of the box. In both cases the dryer starts running when the Start button is pressed but stops as soon as the Start button is released. The delivery/installation crew tested every cycle and heat setting with the same results on both driers. At first we tested the dryer empty, then tested with a damp rag. It may be the dryer requires a substantial load to run but we tested Air dry/Timed which certainly should just run. After the first dryer was delivered and the problem was seen I contacted GE support and the technician said it was probably a bad circuit board. It is disturbing that a second dryer has the identical problem. Another issue with this dryer is it is no longer wall mountable. The slot is on the back for the wall bracket but the back is now installed with the slots on the bottom facing upwards so the wall mount bracket will not work.

• New dryer malfunctioned first time. The drum tore up the inside plastic edge guide. Took 2 weeks to get a GE repairman since Home Depot (on-line order) would not honor or help us since we discovered this more than 48 hours after delivery. Now we are waiting another 10 days for parts. Hoping this item will work fine after replacing the drum and cheezy latch. Picture is looking down on the uneven drum.

• I purchased this dryer in Nov 2018. The auto dry cycles did not work from the start. The cycle would run for about 10 minutes then stop leaving the clothes wet. A repair man visited twice and it is still not working. The serviceman will not respond to my attempts to contact him. I contacted Budget Appliances who replaced the dryer. The new one has the exact same problem. I sure hope there is a fix for this.
