Holy moly you are a life saver and a sanity saver. I am still flabbergasted by the fact that this dryer has no other way to remove that sound... useful if your laundry room is in a cement basement, not so much when you are in a cardboard-wall appartment building...
I'm flabbergasted someone thought that 1) This buzzer sound was acceptable and B) to have it do it TWICE, once when the cool cycle begins and another when it's over. I disconnected my buzzer and my quality of life has gone up 37%.
If you're cooking something, yes. An obnoxious sound like that can be useful. You don't want to turn your lasagne to a cinder. But holy crap.
When Armageddon begins, and all the ranks of angels with flaming swords and the hordes of demons in hell need to know when it's kick-off time, THAT buzzer will sound.
@@JesseCuster Haha! Yessssss....
@@JesseCuster LOL!!!! And just 37%?! 😂😂😂
Trust me, I have my dryer in a cement basement, and it's still loud. Holy moly. Not only goes off once but twice.
El fabricante debería recibir múltiples quejas por este problema. Por que el fabricante instaló esta alarma tan fea? No tiene sentido y es algo horrible para el consumidor.
The loudness of the buzzer is inexcusable, and the absense of an ON/OFF switch makes you wonder what the hell they were thinking. It even buzzes a second time five or ten minutes after the first buzz. Thank you so much for the video. Going to disable that buzzer as soon as I can.
Eric I got my dryer today and was literally about to return it. My dogs and I literally jumped off the couch when the buzzer went off and after calling six different numbers between Home Depot where I ordered it and GE who kept referring me back to the other party I was Furious and I found your video. Problem solved. You are amazing thank you so much for such a clear and understandable fix video
my cats are saved from this video, too. Shame on GE for making this dryer without buzzer turn off option.😢
GOD BLESS YOU!!! THANK YOU! THAT BUZZER HAS DRIVEN ME INSANE!
Those buzzers always scare the hell out of me
@@kenrutherford1109 me too
and mine goes off three times....I don't. need to be notified even once that my dryer is finished, but three fuckin times!?!?!
@@thomasmiller6312 If you set your dryer to auto dry it buzzes like once every 5 minutes
@@kenrutherford1109 Thanks but mine doesn't have that option!
$650 for the drier & no alarm/buzzer silence option. Insane! This is getting fixed right now! Thank you sir.
well you got a better deal than I did and I got mine at Costco!
I was a safety specialist for GEs competitor, so I'm not an idiot when it comes to appliances. I recently purchased GEs commercial washer and dryer, love them both, but the dryer buzzer was not mentioned anywhere. It gives 2 loud long buzzes. One is a 2 minute warning. When my husband almost cut his throat shaving, I found your video to resolve the problem. Thank you! ❤
came close to putting a bullet through that machine. Glad a read about the proper way to fix the problem.
Worked perfectly per your directions!! Thanks so much! Crazy how loud this buzzer is.
That thing is ridiculously loud
It’s unreal!! Who would ever need this.
Air Raid sirens aren't as loud and long as that buzzer is. I should sue GE for PTSD!
@@namelessunnamed class action lawsuit sounds like a good idea and we'd win
Cant believe they make dryer with alarm with no on off switch in 2021...
Thx!
My thoughts exactly. A 75 cent off switch and GE cant include it.
I was amazed at the loudness of the buzzer, I'm not sure if the GE engineers think people will be out in their back yards and need to know the exact time the clothes are done or not but the loudness is excessive.
They want you to spend the extra $200 to get the next model with a buzzer switch.
2024 and they still haven't put in an on/off switch. :[
Thank you sooooo much!!! I cannot tell you how much the buzzer scared the daylights out of me the first time I heard it... and how many times it has made me jump since then!!!
Thank you so much!! Didn't realize there was a buzzer until it went off. I almost soiled myself when it went off, it's so loud & long. Your directions were perfect. Now I can relax while drying clothes and not have a heart attack when the dryer cycle ends.
THANK YOU SOO MUCH! I have never heard such a LOUD AND OBNOXOUS buzzer in my life! YOU ROCK!
Our dryer was delivered yesterday. We dried two loads and then said "There's *got* to be a way to shut off the damn buzzer!" CZcams (and your excellent video) to the rescue. Thanks very much for putting this together.
Thanks for including what the buzzer sounds like because I'm searching for a new washer/dryer and kept seeing people complain about the sound.
This dryer is amazing but the buzzer is so loud if you live in a small space. Just unplug the wires with an easy fix.
And it buzzes twice 😫
@@sheenasheenn9936 Only twice? I need to pay attention because I thought mine did it more which is annoying me.
Perfect explanation and video. You are very good at explaining how to do things simply. Loved that you included the obnoxious buzzer at the beginning! So glad to have that gone. Scared the heck out of myself and the dogs.
Barry bagelI wish this dryer has pleasant chime
It’s the most obnoxious alarm I’ve ever heard on a dryer ! Great video …. Thank you !!!
Great film man! I did EXACTLY like you said. I looked in the manual and a big NO GO. Man, tho I havent done it yet, I will soon as my wife hears that OBNOXIOUS buzzer. Thank you! GE SHOULD TAKE NOTE HOW MANY PEOPLE HATE THE BUZZER. You are the man.
I am happy to say I got off my butt and pulled the wire. HAPPY TIMES now we can dry clothes at night. Thank you. GE must be a bunch of monsters for installing that piece of crap buzzer. Any common electrician could have designed a sensible buzzer rather than one that wakes the whole household. Thanks for NOTHING GE. Again, thanks ERIC!..
Thank you! I've been struggling with catching the dryer in time before the buzzer sounds. With a newborn and a husband who works nights it has been waking them up. Now I know I can do this on my own. Thank you!
EXCELLENT video! Thank you so much! You video is clear, concise and simple for anyone to use. I love how you showed the schematics paper. So, I didn't have to pull it out and try to figure out that craziness, lol. You're really good at this, you should make more videos! Thanks again!
Totally Agree!!
You sir, are the MAN! Thank you! Whoever designed that god-awful buzzer clearly doesn’t have kids and is deaf.
Thank you for this. The buzzer was driving us crazy! An even bigger Thank You because when I was pulling my dryer out, I noticed my washing machine drain was dripping just a little. Upon further inspection I could see we forgot to install the hose clamp on the drain pipe. That could have been disastrous!!
Bless you sir! You've done God's work and saved the sanity of myself and my family!
Thank you so much for this video and your very clear step by step instructions. Just got the dryer today, have done 4 loads already and that buzzer was driving me crazy! I’m going to do your fix tomorrow. Thank you, thank you and thank you!
Much appreciated video. After 100+ years in the business, I can't believe this is the end result of a century of GE innovation. What a joke.
We just bought our dryer and my wife ran a load,the moment we heard that ridiculous buzzer I said “we ain’t having that noise”. 1 look on CZcams confirmed that we aren’t the only ones who feel this way! Lol
Thank you for the video,I was going to make one myself but I see many have beat me to it.
Perfect. We just moved and bought a new GE/Hotpoint dryer to replace a 25 year old GE. The old one had a nice beep, this one - OMG! About raised me off my chair a floor away. And I'm somewhat hard of hearing.
JD Wht what your old dryer buzzer sound like
@@isaiahgreenfield2037 It was more of a chime , not a grating loud buzzer
Thank you for this video. Just got our dryer and about peed my pants in fright the buzzer was so loud.
Almost pissed my bed the first night I got this. I did a late load and went to sleep and BAM 😩😩😩 thank you so much ❤️🙏🏽
Thanks for this. We just bought our GE dryer with THE LOUDEST buzzer ever. Deafening.
I am here for every single reason you mentioned and I thank you for your service.
Thank you for the step-by-step instructions on how to get the loudest end of cycle buzzer I have ever heard dismantled. I wish I would have known how loud it was before the dryer was installed. Your video is very well done.
What a life saver thank you. Heard it go off once and I was like nope. Didn't want to inconvenience my neighbors with that sound
Thank you for doing this. Now if we could only know what genius thought people would want or need that obnoxious buzzer.
It worked!!! Words cannot describe how much I hate that double buzzer!!!! Thanks so much! Took me 5 minutes.
What an absolutely perfect how to video!! I know what I am doing today. Being in a tiny apartment with that buzzer is a nightmare!
Candies are you replace with buzzer on your dryer with chime or no
Thank you so much for this helpful video! With a 6 months old at home, I can't have that awfully loud alarm ringing in my small appartment 😅 I followed your video step by step and it took me less than 5 minutes to solve the problem! Thank you!!
Good Sir, thank you for taking the time to produce this simple and helpful video. It allowed me to preserve the sanity of many family members in close proximity to the laundry room. Many many thanks!
Probably one of the worst design features of all time. The idea that they couldn't at the bare minimum add an on/off for the buzzer is laughable at best. Thank you for the video. It was the first recommended video
Thank you soooo much! Talked to appliance store where I purchased dryer and their answer was too bad, so sad and I was the only person to complain about the horrible buzzer. GE said the same. Can’t wait to disconnect this thing now that I’ve seen your video.
My poor son has been jumping up out of bed at night to turn it off for fear of it waking him up. 13 with fear of the horrible dryer. Thank you! Thank you!
Wow!!!!Thank you so much. This buzzing was so loud. I live in an apartment complex and when it buzz. I am sure not only did it bother me. It bothered people who lived next to me.
Sir, I went Fully AIRBORN when that Buzzer was activited 🥴🤣👍 Thank You Sir for your OUTSTANDING informative video Cheers 👍👍😇😇👌👌🍻🍻
My wife and mother-in-law wanted to get rid of it just because of the buzzer. My friend is a hvac specialist and he told me get simple dryer washer so they last a while..thanks for showing it..
You saved me. I don’t even have a GE dryer but it does the same thing. I had maintenance come “fix” it and nothing changed. So I found this video and realized it’s an easy fix
Thank you so much! Just got this unit install this morning after my maytag conked out. The end of cycle klaxon nearly killed my poor old dog of fright. Still can't believe that in this day and age there are sill manufacturers that don't kludge everything onto one PCB and use non-permanent connectors. A small blessing in a pile of rubbish.
Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! Buzzer is so loud and obnoxious. I followed your very clear and easy instructions....wow! Now no more awful buzzing, which would make one of my dogs crazy, which in turn was making me crazy. Not sure why there isn't an on/off switch.
Thank you! You solved a problem that made me think my husband was being electrocuted! What a terrible design. My Samsung dryer made a cute little jingle that sounded like an ice cream truck. I don’t know what GE was thinking.
That was my thought. If they are going to design a sound that can't easily be turned off, at least make it pleasant.
Thank you for participating in saving my mental health 🙏🙏
thank you so much! was researching this dryer because it’s the only one that can fit in my laundry room and almost didn’t buy because of all the reviews mentioning the loud buzzer. nearly gave up and got a portable dryer. your video gave me the confidence to know i could make this work. just got dryer delivered today and disconnected the buzzer before i even ran a full dryer cycle.
Thank you so much!!! My dryer was just delivered today. I about lost my #### when that buzzer went off. I was about to run out of the house. I did exactly what you said, I went to the manual....no solution.
I was calling Lowes to return it and while on hold I looked for options on CZcams. I watched your video while on hold with Lowes which has now been 26 minutes. Not having an on/off option is a ridiculous feature. Even my previous low end model had the option of turning it on/off. GE, time to step up your game!!!
I just got this same dryer delivered today. I searched for this video after the first use lol
Fam....thank you. Just got it today and after drying my first load just now.... Holy God! Thank you for sharing this. Turning this off in the morning.
Literally me. Just bought it. Cycle ended HORRENDOUS BUZZZ! looked through instructions, not a word.....😂🤯🤯🤯
2 years later this video just save our sanity. Thank you sir wife was about to return it 😂
Thank you for making this video. You saved me $500!
Now we can keep our current dryer.
Thank you! I am not joking the sound of that buzzer has a psychological effect on me. It makes me angry, mean, nasty and hateful in less than a second!
My cousin heard it one day and said it reminded her of the buzzing of the inmates jail cells, she works as a correction officer. I don't want that feeling in my house.
@@ctgal9698 well this video shows it's extremely easy to disable it. I mean for the price compared to other machines it's worth the small extra hassle of disabling the buzzer.
In a jail or prison would be a very inappropriate place to have a sound like that constantly throughout the day. I mean that is the last place you want people to instantly feel angry, mean, nasty and hateful!
Before this buzzer came around my most hated noise was the alarm on every electronic alarm clock.
YOU ARE AMAAAAZING!!
That thing has been scaring the crap outta me for so long and has been the blame of so many spilt cups of coffee!
God Bless You! 🙏☺️😅
Thank you so much for this video! I just got the dryer on Friday and it is insane how long and loud that buzzer is!!
Eric,
Everyday in this space I call an apartment was a jumpscare waiting to happen. Then, like Mr. Miyagi himself, you came to me and gave me the strength to put that nightmare to an end once and for all.
May you and yours find happiness. Thank you.
My 2 cats and I thank you SO SO SO MUCH!!! Life is much quieter now😁
Thank you for your video! Just disabled mine and testing it now. Hopefully no more loud interruptions doing laundry!
Thank you ,that buzzer has been driving me nuts ,excellent video.
Thank you! I about went through the roof the first time the buzzer went off! This looks like an easy DIY project that I'm going to do right now!
Thank you so much. The first time that buzzer went off it scared the crap out of me 😂
May not ever meet you in this lifetime but I pray blessings upon you my man....dude that information will literally allow this household to be able to not only sleep, but dry clothes during the day and now NIGHT...LOL
Thank the freaking Lord!!!! Exact same obnoxious noisy buzzer…drove my family and my two boxers crazy!!! Amen
Sir, you are a gift to humanity!!!
Thank you soooo much!!!
Thank you so much, had the dryer for 3 days and where starting going nuts with this buzzer.
THANK YOU!!!! just got this thing yesterday and my 1st load in the dryer😳😳😳🥴🥴
Then not only once, but twice.... not sure who thought this was a great idea AND not at the least, make it adjustable 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Oh my gosh!!! Thank you, thank you Eric, I was ready to send the dryer back. The dryer’s buzzer scared the hell out of us every time it went off. You’re a life saver!!!
Thank you! I can’t dry clothes if anyone is asleep in the house. I’m going to try this tomorrow.
i followed your directions and i'm so happy you showed me the way. Quite now...no sound. i love it.
OMG!!! AWESOME!!! THIS HAS DRIVEN ME CRAZY since 1st use. I like to do laundry late at night for lower cost of electricity, but Im sure my neighbors can hear it outside my garage, through my whole street. I will be doing that tomorrow. Its crazy how they put that in and dont give you the option to use it or disconnect it. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I did that fix the next day after posting my comment. Now my dryer is silent. No more noise. 😂
So happy to have found your video!!! My dog Cassy sends love and many thanks for providing this nightmare ending instruction. Glad to be rid of the most annoying noise ever!
I jumped out of my skin every time that damn buzzer went off! Now it is silenced. Why don't they have a chime or something? Thanks Eric!
Thank you thank you thank you. I am one of those that searched the manual only to find no answers. This is so incredibly helpful and I appreciate you for making this video.
Thank you thank you thank you !! We need more people like you!! The buzzer is unbelievably annoying and loud and long.
We have had this same dryer for a couple of months and I will be disarming the buzzer tomorrow. One of my dogs absolutely hates it and sends him into a nervous tizzy every time it goes off. Thanks!!
I can't thank you enough! How idiotic for GE to not give the consumer a way to turn the hell sound OFF!! You saved my sanity.
Wow man thank you very much. You don't know how scared I was when I heard that for the first time. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video.
AN ABUNDANCE OF BLESSINGS AND GRATITUDE TO YOU!!!! My siblings love doing laundry in the middle of the night and that buzzer at 3am is frightening.
thank you lots. we got washer dryer set. service guy been here n has to come back to fix the washer.wish id passed on this set .
i asked him to shut buzzer off ?he said i cant. in the morning its going to quit here too ,thank you again
Just got a GE today, thank you for this video! Damn that noise. Maybe I’ll rig up something else to it that jingles peacefully like the washer. lol.
Worked like a charm...silence is golden. Thanks Eric!
Thank you for showing us this sanity and nap saver!
Dear God I love you!! Thank you so much!! I just bought this same dryer and NEEDED this video!!
Took literally 5 minutes to do. Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you! We just got the dryer and it is already driving us crazy.
great clear video! Just got this dryer and that buzzer is blaring!
If u have a Hotpoint gas dryer it's the red wire or basically whichever of the 2 wires comes off the start button. Thank you for this BTW
Oh my goodness, THANK YOU! I will be doing this in the next 5 minutes. Got the new dryer yesterday and almost pooped my pants when that SIREN went off. Who said, "Yes, that is the buzzer sound we will use."???
This thing has been waking my baby/toddler up for 2 years now and I just realized it could be turned off 😂 THANK YOU SIR.
Precise & concise with that video. Great job on explaining what to do to get rid of that very annoying buzzing sound!!
The MOST annoying noise!! Thank you for showing me how to make it stop!
Thank you for taking the time to make this helpful video. This buzzer is so loud - it will terrify you is you aren't prepared for it! I think my neighbors down the street probably know when my clothes are dry. :D
Thank you and God bless you 😭 your instructions were perfect and I can finally relax in my own home!!!
The first time I heard that friggin end of cycle buzzer I nearly crapped myself. Why is it so loud!??! Instructions worked to a "T". Thanks.
Perfectly executed video. Thank you for your knowledge I was ready to throw this thing all the way back to Home Depot. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you Dear! It’s so wonderful that you took the time to make this video simply to be helpful for others!
Grateful for you. 🙏🏼
#goodpeople
Thank you! That's a far more elegant solution than a Mossberg 500! One other disappointment with that dryer: no internal light!
This goddamn fucking dryer pisses me off so much because they literally couldn’t spend the extra 2 cents to put a buzzer switch on it. I was about to kick a hole in this fucking dryer until I found your video. thanks so much, now I can enjoy my dryer in peace and quiet
