Parts for Ge GFD45ESPM1DG: Cabinet & Top Panel Parts

This factory screw secures dryer panels and internal components, keeping assemblies tight and aligned so the machine operates safely and without vibration or rattling.

• Fastens sheet-metal panels, brackets, or trim to the dryer cabinet/frame
• A loose or missing screw can cause panel vibration, noise, or misalignment
• Helps restore stability after service or when original hardware is lost
• Typical symptoms include rattling, loose panels, or gaps in trim

• Unplug the dryer before servicing
• Keep track of original screw locations and lengths; replace like-for-like
• Start screws by hand to avoid cross-threading, then snug—do not overtighten
• If threads are damaged, inspect mating hole or clip before installing

Adjustable

This terminal block cover shields the dryer's rear power connection at the terminal block. Replace a missing or damaged cover to help protect wiring from accidental contact and lint intrusion, maintaining a cleaner, safer connection area.

• Covers and helps protect the power cord terminals and wiring at the rear terminal block
• Helps prevent accidental contact and keeps lint/debris away from the connection area
• Restores a secure cover when the original is cracked, warped, or missing
• Common signs you need this part: exposed terminals at the rear panel, a loose or broken cover

• Disconnect power to the dryer before servicing
• Access the terminal block from the rear; remove the retaining fastener(s) and lift off the old cover
• Ensure the cord strain relief and wiring are properly positioned, then set the new cover in place and secure it

A replacement strain relief bracket that secures the appliance power cord at the entry point, protecting wiring and the terminal connection from pull and wear. Restores proper cord routing for safer, more reliable electrical connection. What it does:

• Secures the power cord where it enters the appliance to prevent tension on terminals and wiring.
• Helps reduce intermittent power, loose connections, or arcing caused by a tugged or poorly routed cord.
• Maintains correct cord routing and support to match the original mounting location and fit.
• Useful when the original bracket is cracked, broken, or no longer holds the cord firmly in place.

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting any repair.
• Access is typically from the rear; remove the back access panel to reach the cord entry and terminal block.
• Remove mounting screws holding the old bracket, position the cord, and secure the new bracket without over-tightening; reuse original hardware if appropriate.
• Inspect the power cord and terminals for damage—replace damaged wiring.

Size: 8-32 t. Includes 12 screws.

The Water Valve is an OEM part for GE electric dryers. Located near the bottom of the machine, it controls water flow into the condenser system during moisture-sensing cycles.

The moisture sensing function uses this valve to introduce precise amounts of water vapor into the exhaust air stream periodically. This allows the condenser to capture moisture readings accurately and determine optimal cycle time based on humidity levels. 

Causes of failure include mineral buildup restricting flow, worn seals enabling leaks, or misaligned internal components hindering valve movement.

Symptoms of a faulty water valve are: 

• Loss of moisture sensing ability
• Incomplete or improper readings affecting cycle times  
• Water leaks from the valve area
• Failure to inject water vapor as needed

This part is also compatible with some Kenmore models using GE components.
