The Outlet Thermistor is an OEM component specifically designed for GE laundry machines. It is a heat-sensing component located near the dryer outlet that monitors exhaust air temperatures during the drying cycle. The thermistor plays a crucial role in appliance safety by regulating heat levels.

Symptoms of a bad outlet thermister include: 

• Inability to achieve necessary air temperatures for effective drying
• Dryer fails to sense when clothes are dry and turns off prematurely  
• Fault codes or error messages displayed relating to temperature issues

Causes of failure are typically related to sensor degradation or internal electrical faults over many uses. Proper airflow is also necessary for accurate temperature readings.

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

This is a capacitor intended for use with dryers. This part is used in tandem with the dryer's motor to start the appliance. The capacitor sends a jolt of electricity to the motor, which in turn activates the appliance. With use over time or because of damage caused otherwise, the dryer capacitor may malfunction. It can also fail entirely. When the dryer capacitor is no longer working efficiently, it has to be replaced.Malfunctioning dryer capacitors will emit a humming or buzzing sound instead of kicking the dryer into full operation mode. Replacing a dryer capacitor is simple. It is always necessary to unplug the appliance before starting the process of repairing the part. Wear gloves for protection. A multimeter can be used to test the old capacitor before removing the part. If it fails, replace it with a new part and reassemble the machine.This dryer capacitor is a genuine OEM replacement part. It is sold as an individual unit. It is made of durable, high-quality materials. The dryer capacitor is sourced from the manufacturer. The dryer capacitor can be used in several models of machines made by RCA, General Electric, and Hotpoint.

This spring provides the tension needed for the appliance component it attaches to, restoring proper movement and alignment for smoother operation. It's a direct-fit replacement when the original spring is stretched, broken, or worn. What it does:

• Restores tension to the associated door/lever/assembly so moving parts return to their intended position
• Helps stop sagging, uneven movement, or parts that fail to hold tension
• Replaces worn or broken spring hardware to improve operation reliability
• Works as a direct-fit service part when the OEM spring has lost function

• Disconnect power and/or gas and follow all safety precautions before servicing
• Inspect mating hardware (hooks, pins, brackets) and replace if damaged to prevent premature failure
• Use proper tools and eye protection; springs can release energy unexpectedly

This blower fan circulates air inside the appliance to cool internal components and support proper airflow, helping prevent overheating and maintaining reliable operation. It's a direct-replacement service part for systems that use a dedicated blower. What it does:

• Moves air through ducts and across components to aid cooling and ventilation
• Reduces internal temperatures to protect electronics and extend component life
• Restores airflow when a worn or damaged fan causes weak ventilation
• Common symptoms: loud or unusual fan noise, reduced airflow, or overheating warnings

• One blower fan

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use basic hand tools; some models require removing panels or housings to access the blower
• Handle the fan blades carefully to avoid bending; ensure proper seating on the motor shaft

This motor spring secures and tensions the appliance motor assembly to help maintain proper alignment and smooth operation. It replaces a worn or broken spring to reduce motor wobble and intermittent operation. What it does:

• Holds the motor in position and maintains tension on the motor mounting for stable rotation
• Helps prevent motor misalignment that can cause noise, vibration, or rubbing sounds
• Can resolve intermittent motor movement or humming when the original spring is stretched or broken
• Works as part of the motor/mount system to support consistent appliance performance

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair to avoid electrical shock
• Inspect surrounding mounts and fasteners; replace any damaged hardware for a secure fit
• Use basic hand tools; follow manufacturer service manual for proper routing and attachment

This M5 x 14 mm machine bolt secures small appliance components and panels, restoring proper fit and reducing movement. It's a compact fastener commonly used where a metric M5 thread and 14 mm length are required. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, and small assemblies using an M5 threaded connection
• Restores secure attachment to stop rattling, misalignment, or loose parts
• Replaces worn, stripped, or missing bolts to maintain structural fit
• Works where a 14 mm shank length is needed for proper engagement

• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before servicing
• Use the correct driver or hex socket to avoid stripping the head
• Thread engagement must match mating fastener — do not force mismatched sizes
• Avoid overtightening; snug to manufacturer torque recommendations when known

This is the dryer temperature control that lets you select the desired heat level for each cycle. Replacing a faulty control restores accurate temperature selection and helps your dryer run at the heat setting you choose.

• Selects and sends the correct heat setting to the dryer's heating circuit
• Useful when certain temperature options don't work or only one heat setting operates
• Can address a loose, unresponsive, or internally failed temperature knob/control

• Unplug dryer before servicing; turn off gas if applicable
• Pull the knob straight off and access the switch from the control panel
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new switch to maintain correct positions
• Verify proper knob alignment and secure all panels before testing

The Belt is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part is responsible for transferring power from the dryer's motor to the drum, enabling it to rotate and tumble your clothes during the drying cycle.

A bad drum drive belt can occur due to wear and tear, stretching, or snapping. If you notice symptoms such as the drum not spinning, unusual noises during operation, or clothes not drying properly, it may be time to replace this belt.

Symptoms of a bad drum drive belt include:

• Drum not spinning
• Unusual noises during operation
• Clothes not drying properly

Restore your GE dryer by replacing the faulty drum drive belt with this genuine OEM part.

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