What to do when 353 shows on the home applianceKind of codeVents and airflow
Air is not moving the way the appliance expects. On a dryer that usually means lint in the screen housing, a crushed transition duct or an exhaust run packed along its length, and some makers measure it and show a code for a restricted vent before drying slows badly. On cold storage it can mean a condenser coil buried in dust or a grille blocked by a rug. Clean the screen, check the duct behind the machine with it unplugged, and book the full run cleaned; a hot or scorched smell means stop now.

Lint cleared from the screen housing, the duct behind the laundry and the whole run to the outside hood.
Shows up asLaundry Taking Two Cycles to Dry: The Lint Path Is Usually Why
Laundry taking two cycles to dry is a load that comes out damp at the end of a normal cycle and needs another run, often with a hotter cabinet and a muggier laundry room.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for 353 on its home appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Remove the lint filter and inspect it for a filmy residue rather than loose lint.
Wash the filter in warm water with a small amount of dish soap and a soft brush to break down the residue film.
Rinse thoroughly and let the filter dry completely before reinstalling it.
Reduce fabric softener use in loads dried in the Combo if the residue keeps returning quickly.
Still there?
It usually turns into lint path and exhaust vent cleaning. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
This is a residue-clogged filter, not a heating element or blower failure; a proper wash of the filter — not a wipe — is what clears it, distinguishing it from an airflow-restriction code caused by the house vent.
