Parts for Ge GTD86ESPJ0MC: Blower & Motor Parts

This ground screw secures the appliance chassis ground connection to the cabinet, restoring a reliable earth path for safe operation and reducing risk of electrical faults. Simple replacement keeps electrical components properly grounded. What it does

• Secures the ground wire or grounding strap to the appliance chassis to maintain a safe earth connection.
• Restores proper grounding when the original screw is missing, loose, or corroded.
• Helps prevent intermittent power/grounding issues and reduces risk of electrical arcing at the chassis connection.
• Works wherever a dedicated grounding point is required on the cabinet or frame.

• Single ground screw

• Always disconnect power (unplug or switch off circuit breaker) before servicing electrical connections.
• Verify chassis is de-energized and wear appropriate PPE when working on electrical parts.
• Use the correct driver bit and size to avoid stripping the screw; tighten securely but avoid over-torquing.
• Replace corroded grounding hardware and ensure the ground wire/strap has clean metal-to-metal contact.

This blower wheel is the replacement fan wheel that moves air through the dryer to support efficient drying and proper venting. Restores airflow from the dryer drum to the exhaust system for more consistent drying performance. What it does:

• Spins on the motor shaft to draw air over the heating element and through the drum.
• Restores proper airflow to reduce long dry times and improve drying consistency.
• Replaces damaged or unbalanced wheels that cause vibration, wobble, or unusual noise.
• Helps prevent overheating by maintaining proper venting when working with a clean vent system.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the dryer front or rear access panel and the drive belt or motor mounting hardware; follow the model service manual.
• Inspect the motor shaft and blower housing for wear, lint buildup, or obstructions and clean the vent system while replacing the wheel.
• Replace or repair worn motor bearing or shaft components to prevent repeat failures.

This motor strap secures the appliance motor to the cabinet, keeping the motor stable during operation to reduce vibration and noise. Use this replacement to restore proper motor positioning and support in compatible models. What it does:

• Holds the motor firmly in place to prevent movement or shifting during use
• Helps reduce vibration and associated noise caused by a loose motor
• Maintains correct motor alignment so belts and linkages run smoothly
• Commonly used when a worn or broken strap allows motor sag or misalignment

• One motor mounting/retaining strap

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Inspect mounting points and fasteners; replace any damaged hardware as needed
• Secure strap to the motor and cabinet using the original mounting holes and recommended hardware

This idler arm assembly keeps the dryer belt properly tensioned so the drum turns smoothly for effective drying. It replaces worn or damaged tensioners to restore normal drum rotation and reduce noise. What it does:

• Maintains correct belt tension so the drum can rotate during operation
• Guides the dryer belt to prevent slipping or off-tracking
• Reduces squealing or grinding caused by a worn idler pulley
• Helps prevent premature belt wear and drum stoppage

What's included:

• One idler arm assembly with pulley

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repairs
• Relieve belt tension carefully; some designs include a spring—handle with caution
• Basic hand tools required; check belt routing and alignment during reassembly

This exhaust blower gasket seals the joint between the dryer's blower outlet and exhaust duct. It helps maintain proper airflow and contain lint and heat, supporting efficient drying and preventing leaks into the cabinet or laundry area. What it does:

• Seals the blower-to-exhaust connection to prevent air and lint leaks
• Helps maintain designed airflow through the drum and vent system
• Can reduce warm air or lint escaping inside the cabinet

• 1 gasket

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, shut off gas and disconnect the supply. Allow the dryer to cool.
• Access the blower housing/exhaust duct; remove panels as needed.
• Remove the old gasket and any residue; clean mating surfaces and lint before installing.
• Seat the new gasket evenly and reassemble; avoid overtightening fasteners and ensure the home vent is clear.

This idler arm bracket secures the dryer idler pulley assembly to maintain proper belt alignment and tension so the drum turns smoothly. It's a direct-fit replacement that helps stop belt slipping and uneven drum movement. What it does:

• Holds the idler pulley assembly in the correct position to route and tension the drive belt
• Restores consistent belt tension to prevent slipping and premature wear
• Helps eliminate symptoms like squealing, grinding, or a drum that hesitates or won't turn smoothly
• Works with the existing idler pulley and belt to ensure reliable drum rotation

• Disconnect power (and gas supply for gas models) before starting any repair
• Access the bracket by removing the dryer front or lower access panel per your model's service instructions
• Relieve belt tension, remove the old bracket, and install the replacement using the original fasteners; inspect the pulley and belt for wear while you're inside

This motor and pulley assembly powers the dryer drum and provides the drive pulley for the belt, restoring drum rotation and normal drying operation. Designed as a direct-replacement drive motor assembly for affected GE dryers. What it does

• Drives the dryer drum so clothes tumble and dry.
• Provides the pulley surface for the drive belt to route and turn.
• Commonly replaces assemblies that cause no-tumble, intermittent spinning, or loud grinding noises from the motor area.
• Helps restore proper air circulation when drum rotation is the root cause of drying failures.

• One motor and pulley assembly.

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before any service.
• Basic disassembly typically requires removing the dryer cabinet/front to access and replace the motor assembly.
• Inspect the drive belt, idler, and blower for wear while replacing the motor; replace as needed.

This blower harness assembly is the wiring harness that connects the blower/evaporator fan motor to the appliance's power and control circuits, restoring proper electrical connections for reliable fan operation. What it does:

• Provides the electrical connections for the blower/evaporator fan motor so the fan runs when commanded
• Helps restore proper airflow when a damaged or broken harness causes intermittent or no fan operation
• Prevents electrical arcing or loose connections that can cause noise or failure
• Compatible with factory routing and connector types for a direct replacement

• One blower harness assembly

• Disconnect power before starting work to avoid shock or injury
• Access may require removing interior panels or the evaporator housing; handle components carefully
• Match connectors and routing to the original harness; avoid pinching or contact with moving parts

This small mounting screw secures panels and trim on compatible GE appliances, restoring a solid, vibration-free fit. Use it to replace a missing, stripped, or damaged fastener and keep parts aligned and secure. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, or small components to the appliance frame
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that cause loose or rattling parts
• Restores secure attachment when threads are stripped or worn
• Helps maintain proper alignment to prevent noise and component wear

• Use the correct screwdriver size to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten until snug; do not overtighten to prevent thread damage
• Disconnect power or move the appliance to a safe position when accessing internal panels
