A dryer drum is a cylindrical component of a clothes dryer that rotates to tumble wet clothes and expose them to heated air, facilitating the evaporation of moisture and drying the clothes. In a GE stackable washer and dryer, the dryer drum is typically located in the upper unit of the appliance.
The dryer drum plays a crucial role in the drying process. Its rotation ensures that all parts of the clothes come into contact with the heated air, promoting even drying. The size and capacity of the dryer drum determine the amount of clothes that can be dried in a single cycle.
