The Dryer Control Knob is an OEM part for GE dryers. It's a part that allows users to select the desired settings and cycles for their drying needs. This knob is directly connected to the dryer's control panel, translating the user's input into action by the machine. 

Causes of a bad dryer control knob can range from simple wear and tear from regular use, to physical damage from an impact or excessive force. 

Symptoms of a bad dryer control knob include:

• Difficulty in turning the knob
• The knob not engaging with the control panel, leading to no response when turned
• Visual signs of damage or wear, such as cracks or fading
• The knob coming off completely when pulled or turned

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

The Backsplash Assembly for Dryer is an OEM replacement part for GE electric and gas dryers. It forms the wall at the back of the dryer cabinet, protecting internal components from water, dust, and impact damage. This structural piece is important for dryer integrity. 

Causes of a bad backsplash assembly include normal wear and tear, accidental impacts, or rust forming behind the panel if moisture penetrates cracked seals. 

Symptoms of a bad backsplash assembly include:

• Visible cracks, warping, or denting of the panel material
• Looseness allowing gaps or movement of the assembly  
• Internal rust or component damage over many wash/dry cycles

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

The Rotary Knob is an OEM replacement part for GE or Hotpoint washing machines. It provides the interface for selecting wash cycles and adjusting settings like temperature and spin speed.

Causes of a bad rotary knob include cracking, peeling, or damage to labeling from repeated use over time. The internal mechanisms can also wear out, preventing proper rotation.

Symptoms of a bad rotary knob are:

• Difficulty turning or clicking into set positions
• Loose, wobbly, or disconnected feel during use
• Faded or missing labels make settings unclear

It is also compatible with RCA, Westinghouse, Tappan, and some Kenmore models.

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.
