Electric or gas?
An electric dryer needs a dedicated electric dryer circuit, while a gas dryer needs a gas line as well as power for the controls. The GTD58GBSVWS is the gas model here, with 7.4 cu. ft. of capacity and 12 cycles. Pick the fuel that matches the hookups you already have.
27-inch, 28-inch or 24-inch?
The 27-inch GE dryers in this guide are 27" wide and pair with GE top-load washers. The 28-inch GFD55ESSNWW and GFD65ESSVWW are front-load dryers made to pair with GE front-load washers, such as those in our GE front-load washers guide.
The GFD14ESSNWW is 23 7/16" wide for 24-inch laundry spaces.
What to check before you buy

- The vent route and length to the outside.
- An electric outlet or a gas line that matches the dryer.
- Door swing, since every model here has a reversible door.
