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

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

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.

• Inspect related components (motor mounts, blower wheel, idler, belt) and replace if damaged

The Belt Drive is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. It is responsible for transferring power from the motor to the drum. A bad belt drive can be caused by normal wear and tear over time, as well as excessive load or strain on the dryer drum. 

Symptoms of a bad belt drive include:

• The dryer drum not spinning or rotating.
• Unusual noises coming from the dryer during operation.
• The drum not tumbling smoothly or consistently.
• The belt appearing frayed, cracked, or broken.

Causes of a faulty Belt Drive can include normal wear and tear over time, excessive tension or stretching, or physical damage from improper installation or foreign objects.

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

This idler arm, also called a belt tensioner arm, supports the idler pulley that keeps the dryer's drive belt tight so the drum rotates smoothly. Replacing a worn arm helps eliminate noise and belt tracking issues.

• 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.

This exhaust duct routes hot, moist air from the appliance to the home vent, helping maintain proper airflow and reduce lint buildup. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to restore correct venting and appliance performance. What it does:

• Channels exhaust air from the appliance to the external vent.
• Helps prevent reduced airflow that can lengthen cycle times or reduce drying/heating performance.
• Reduces lint accumulation in the appliance exhaust path when intact and properly connected.
• Replaces damaged, crushed or disconnected ducting that can cause air leakage or poor venting.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (and shut off gas supply for gas models) before starting.
• Use gloves to avoid sharp edges; secure connections with the original clamps or equivalent fasteners.

The Cycling Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. It regulates heating element output and drum temperature during drying cycles. Maintaining proper air and drum temperatures is key to achieving thorough moisture removal from fabrics within targeted cycle times.

Causes of failure typically involve defects developing over many heat exposure and cool-down cycles. Mineral deposits accumulating on the thermostat head can also impact heat-sensing precision over extended use. 

Symptoms of a bad cycling thermostat include:

• Slow or inadequate drying times
• Excessively long cycles for normal loads  
• The dryer turning on/off irregularly while operating
• Unpredictable or fluctuating drum temperatures

This OEM replacement thermostat is compatible with GE, Hotpoint, and some Kenmore models.
