There's something that's been bugging me when it come's to dryer fire's for the past few year's. Every time I search up "Dryer Fire" on google, what's the first thing I see? A GE built dryer. I see that it has grew quite a bit now. I'm beginning to point finger's at GE as majority of the dryer fire picture's I see have a GE built in them. And this model is the ones with the heating element at the back of the drum. But lets go further, what I see the least of, is Whirlpools's 29 inch dryer with the top mounted lint screen. I hardly have seen those in the image's if not very few. I thought at first that this might be a coincidence, but it's re-occurring which make's my doubt's go further. I never really liked GE dryer design's with the heating element behind the drum. We had a Hotpoint made by GE when we moved in and it was a nightmare. Clothes took forever to dry and sometimes you had to run multiple cycles even though the vent was clear. What are your guy's thought's? GE is scratched off my list for dryer's.
