The Door Latch is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part ensures the dryer door stays securely closed during operation, activating the safety switch to allow the dryer to operate. The latch mechanism engages with the door strike to lock the door, preventing it from opening while the dryer is running, which is essential for both safety and proper functioning of the appliance. 

Causes for replacement can include normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or a misalignment that prevents the door from securely latching. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Latch include:

• The dryer door doesn't stay closed during cycles.
• Difficulty in starting the dryer due to the door not activating the safety switch.
• Visible wear or damage to the latch mechanism.

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

The Lint Filter is an OEM part for GE dryers. This filter captures lint and debris from the laundry load, preventing it from clogging the dryer vent and ensuring efficient airflow. Properly maintaining the lint filter helps improve drying performance, reduces energy consumption, and prevents potential fire hazards.

Causes of a bad lint filter can include tears or cracks from regular use, accumulation of lint and debris that cannot be cleaned out, or warping due to heat exposure. A compromised lint filter can lead to decreased drying efficiency and potential safety issues.

Symptoms of a bad lint filter include:

• Visible tears or holes in the filter mesh
• The filter not fitting securely in its slot
• Longer drying times
• Excess lint accumulation in the dryer drum or vent

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

Symptoms of a malfunctioning dryer lamp include:

• A lack of light inside the drum when the dryer door is opened or during operation
• Flickering or intermittent light indicating a loose connection or nearing the end of the lamp's lifespan

It does not include the 3 drum glides, which are used and sold separately.

Causes of a bad dryer drum front support bearing can include normal wear and tear over time, excessive load on the drum, or lack of proper lubrication. 

Symptoms of a bad dryer drum front support bearing may include:
