There could be several reasons why your GE electric dryer won't start. Here are few things you can check:
1. Power supply: Ensure that your dryer is properly plugged into a functional electrical outlet. If the circuit breaker is tripped or a fuse is blown, the dryer won't start.
2. Door switch: If the door switch is not working properly, the dryer won't start because it thinks the door is open.
3. Start switch: If the start switch is defective, the dryer will not start.
4. Timer/control board: If the control board is defective, the dryer may not respond to the start button being pressed.
5. Thermal fuse: The thermal fuse is a safety device to prevent the dryer from overheating. If the thermal fuse has blown, the dryer will not start.
6. Drive motor: If the drive motor is defective, the dryer will not start.
7. Belt switch: Some models have a belt switch which prevents the dryer from starting if the belt is broken.
8. Start Windings: Start windings of the motor are responsible to provide the motor initial power to drum to start rotating. If the start windings are defective, dryer won't start.
If you are not comfortable troubleshooting this on your own, it would be best to consult with a professional appliance repair service to help determine the exact issue and have it fixed.

On average, a GE stackable washer and dryer can last between 10 to 15 years with proper maintenance and usage. However, the lifespan can vary depending on factors such as the quality of the appliance, frequency of use, and maintenance practices. Regular cleaning, servicing, and following manufacturer guidelines can help prolong the lifespan of the washer and dryer.
