Symptoms of a bad blower wheel include:

• Slow or inefficient drying times even on low moisture loads    
• Strange noises from inside the dryer cabinet      
• Excessive vibrations felt through the dryer door or cabinet
• Bent or cracked blower wheel blades

Causes can include normal wear and tear over time, accidents that damage the blades, or failures in the secure mounting of the blower wheel.

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

• 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 component specifically designed for GE dryers. As part of the drum assembly, the idler pulley helps drive the rotation of the drying drum. It works closely with the belt and motor pulley to spin the drum and tumble clothes during the drying cycle.

Causes of a bad idler pulley can include wear and tear of moving parts over time, loose or worn belts that cause added strain, or damage from sticking or jamming during operation. 

Symptoms of a bad idler pulley include:

• The dryer drum not spinning or tumbling clothes
