Just replaced the top bearing on my dryer and turned it back on. Everything appears to be normal, all controls are lighting up and appear to be working, but it will not start. No matter what I do it just gives me two quick beeps and does not respond. Is there a way to reset it, or is there a "service mode" that somehow got turned on that I can turn off? Any other insight? Thanks

Sounds as if you have a bad motor. That humming is a big give away. Unless its less than 3 years. I would replace it.
SOURCE: GE Profile Dryer - sensor problem
When I pull up the exploded view of your model, it does not show an individual moisture sensor, but is does show disconnect plug(s) for it. I can only assume that the sensor bars are an intrical part of one of the front bulkhead components. That all being said, the most common reason for your symptoms is when people use fabric softener sheets in the dryer, the sheets leave a waxy type coating on the silver sensor bars inside the drum, near the air inlet to the lint filter. If you clean those two (usually about 4 inch long x about 1/4 inch wide) metal bars off, they will be able to detect the moisture level of the clothing again, and your dryer will work on auto dry again.
SOURCE: How to get the front panel off GE Profile Harmony
Here's a simple overview of what you have to do:
You actually don't remove the back sir, but that's okay, that's a common misconception for this model dryer. The proper way to disassemble this particular dryer is you start with the top. You have to start with the removal of the control panel, then the top of the dryer. What I would consider the top cover. Then you'll have to remove two plastic brackets. Then you have to remove the front. There's two aluminum brackets in each corner, remove those. Open the door and there'll be two more screws to remove on each side. You have to lift the front just a little and then pull towards you. I forgot to mention, before that part, you'll need to ensure you are disconnecting the electrical wiring. There's almost no chance of connecting the wrong ones even if you forget. GE made this part novice proof. Once you get the front removed, you'll see the lint/trap. There's a couple of screws on either side of the aluminum housing. Not much to it. Let me know if there's anything I can clarify further. Have fun!

Yes, open it. You'll probably find a broken or loose belt.
More help?, let me know.
SOURCE: the dampness sensor on the ge profile gas dryer is
The dampness sensor is just the two curved metal strips (about 5 inches long, and about an inch apart) located very close to the lint filter. (stick your head in the drum and look back down to your right) These strips can become coated with a waxy substance from fabric softener sheets which prevents them from detecting the moisture correctly. Just clean them off with a little soap solution.
