The Timer Knob Assembly is an OEM part for GE dryers that is responsible for controlling the dryer's timer, allowing users to select the desired cycle duration and start the dryer. Over time, the timer knob can become worn or damaged due to frequent use or accidental impact, leading to difficulties in setting the dryer timer or starting the machine. If you need the bisque colored version of this knob, you can order it here: WE1M483.

Common causes of a bad timer knob include cracking or breaking due to frequent use, the internal mechanism wearing out, or the knob becoming loose and no longer fitting securely on the timer shaft.

This part fixes the following symptoms-

• The knob slipping or failing to grip the timer shaft 
• Cracks or breaks in the knob 
• The knob coming off the timer shaft completely 

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

Size: 8-18 ab.

The Dryer Push-to-Start Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. This component is responsible for initiating the drying cycle when pressed, serving as the primary control for starting the dryer's operation.

Symptoms of needing to replace the push-to-start switch include:

• The dryer failing to start or begin the cycle when the switch is pressed
• Intermittent or inconsistent starting issues
• Visible damage or deterioration of the switch itself

Causes of a faulty push-to-start switch can include mechanical wear and tear over time, electrical malfunctions, or physical damage due to impact or mishandling.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore dryer models.

The Knob Clip is an OEM part for GE washing machines and dryers. This small but crucial component is designed to secure the control knob to the appliance's control panel.  

Over time, knob clips can wear out or break due to frequent use or accidental damage. When this happens, the control knob may become loose, fall off easily, or fail to engage the control panel properly, making it difficult to set the appliance to the desired cycle or function.

Symptoms of a bad Knob Clip include:

• The control knob is loose or falls off the panel easily.
• Difficulty in adjusting settings due to a loose knob.
• The knob does not stay in place or slips when turned.

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Includes 12 screws. Size: 8-18 ab.

This replacement part is a screw, and it is intended for use in different types of appliances. This is a genuine replacement part made by General Electric. This screw is compatible with many different areas of the appliance. Screws are generally used for keeping parts of the machinery secure and in place during use. It is possible that screws can become loose over time and need to be replaced after years of normal wear and tear.A new screw might be needed if the user notices parts of the appliances are becoming loose or are even falling off. This can be due to screws becoming stripped over time or if the appliance is bumped during transport. The repair for this part is simple. Remove the old screw and replace it with a new part. The only tools needed for this repair are a screwdriver and possibly pliers if the damaged screw is stuck in place.This screw is sold individually and is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced from the manufacturer.

The Timer Resistor is an OEM part for GE dryers. It works in conjunction with the dryer's timer to regulate the duration of the drying cycle, ensuring that clothes are dried for the appropriate amount of time.

Causes of a bad timer resistor can include electrical surges, prolonged exposure to high temperatures, or general wear over time. These factors can result in the resistor losing its effectiveness or failing completely.

Symptoms of a bad timer resistor include:

• The dryer running for too long or too short a time
• Inconsistent drying times
• The timer not advancing or getting stuck
• The dryer not starting or shutting off prematurely

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The GE clamp and screw kit is an OEM replacement part responsible for securing the dryer blower wheel in place. This kit consists of two clamps and a screw, designed to ensure the blower wheel remains firmly attached to the motor shaft. The clamp maintains the blower wheel's stability and prevents it from coming loose during the drying process. The blower wheel creates the airflow necessary to circulate hot air and efficiently dry clothes.

Over time, clamps and screws can become loose or corroded due to regular use, vibrations, or exposure to moisture. Improper handling during maintenance or repairs can also lead to damage or loss of these small but essential parts.

Symptoms of a bad Clamp and Screw Kit include:

• Loose or rattling components within the dryer
• Parts becoming misaligned or detached
• Unusual noises during dryer operation
• Difficulty in securing dryer parts during repairs

The Blower Wheel is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. It has a role in the air circulation within the dryer, aiding in the even and efficient drying of clothes. The blower wheel, connected to the motor, helps in expelling the moist air out of the dryer through the exhaust vent during the drying cycle.

Causes of a malfunctioning blower wheel are typically wear and tear from regular use, the accumulation of lint or debris, or damage to the wheel’s fins or central hub, which can impact its rotation and air circulation capability.

Symptoms of a bad Blower Wheel include:

• Unusual noises during operation
• Extended drying times
• The dryer overheating
• Reduced air circulation

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

• Maintains proper belt tension by positioning the idler pulley against the drive belt
• Helps prevent belt slippage, squealing, and premature belt wear
• Supports smooth, consistent drum rotation during cycles
• Typical failure symptoms include squeaking/chirping, burning rubber smell, belt coming off, or the drum not turning

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the idler assembly by removing the front or lower access panel
• Release belt tension and note the belt routing; reinstall pulley and spring as removed, then re-tension the belt
• Manually rotate the drum to verify belt tracking before reassembly and testing

The Idler Pulley is an OEM part for GE dryers. This critical component helps to maintain the correct tension on the dryer's drive belt, ensuring smooth operation and preventing it from slipping. 

Symptoms of a bad Idler Pulley include:

• Squeaking or screeching noises during dryer operation, often a sign of bearing wear or failure.
• The dryer drum not turning smoothly, or at all, indicating that the belt may be slipping or has come off entirely due to a failed pulley.
• Excessive heat or a burning smell, which can occur if the pulley is seizing up and causing friction.
• Visible wear or damage to the pulley itself.

Causes of a bad idler pulley can include worn bearings, accumulation of lint and debris that impedes rotation, or material fatigue after prolonged use.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
