The Door Latch is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part ensures the dryer door stays securely closed during operation, activating the safety switch to allow the dryer to operate. The latch mechanism engages with the door strike to lock the door, preventing it from opening while the dryer is running, which is essential for both safety and proper functioning of the appliance. 

Causes for replacement can include normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or a misalignment that prevents the door from securely latching. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Latch include:

• The dryer door doesn't stay closed during cycles.
• Difficulty in starting the dryer due to the door not activating the safety switch.
• Visible wear or damage to the latch mechanism.

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

The Gasket Seal is an OEM component specifically designed for GE dryers. It is a crucial sealing component that lines the perimeter of the dryer door. The gasket seal helps create an effective air barrier when the door is properly closed and secured.  

Causes of a bad gasket seal can include wear and tear resulting in cracks along the surface, deformities preventing flush contact with the door border, or material deterioration compromising its sealing abilities.

Symptoms of a bad gasket seal include:

• Excessively long drying cycles as air escapes around the compromised seal    
• Visible lint or debris collections where the gasket meets the door framing
• Noticeable drafts or air gaps discernible across the door perimeter

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

A complete door hinge assembly that restores proper door alignment and secure closing on compatible GE appliances. Replaces a worn or damaged hinge to stop sagging, rubbing, or uneven gaps and help the door operate smoothly. What it does

• Supports and pivots the appliance door so it opens and closes correctly.
• Restores proper door alignment to prevent rubbing, uneven seals, or difficulty latching.
• Stops door sagging or drooping caused by a worn hinge or damaged mounting points.
• Helps maintain an effective door seal by keeping the door flush with the cabinet.

• Disconnect power (and water supply if applicable) before beginning any repair.
• Remove the door per the appliance service instructions to access hinge fasteners; support the door during removal and reinstallation.
• Use the appropriate hand tools and tighten mounting fasteners securely, but avoid over-torquing.
• If hinge mounting holes or door hardware are damaged, additional repair may be required.

This #8-32 x 1/2 machine screw is a direct-fit fastener used to secure panels and internal components in compatible appliances, restoring proper fit and eliminating loose or rattling parts. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, trim pieces and small internal assemblies where the factory screw is required
• Restores proper component alignment and prevents vibration-related noise
• Replaces missing or damaged mounting screws that allow parts to shift or come loose
• Matches standard #8-32 machine-thread fastener sizing commonly used in appliance assemblies

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before servicing to reduce shock risk
• Use the correct driver to avoid stripping the head; a magnetized screwdriver can help hold the screw
• Tighten until snug—do not overtighten to avoid damaging threads or panels
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged; replace with identical thread size and length

The Inner Door Cap is an OEM part for GE electric dryers. Located inside the dryer door opening, it functions as the interior lining that shields insulation material. 

GE dryers incorporate insulation around the door area to limit heat loss during cycles. The plastic cap acts as an additional barrier behind the metal door. This maximizes efficiency by retaining warm air circulation only inside the drum. 

Causes of a damaged cap include prolonged heat exposure leaving it brittle with use over time or physical stresses cracking the plastic.

Symptoms of a failed cap include:

• Drafts noticeable near the door seal   
• Reduced internal air temperatures requiring extended cycle times
• Dust or debris visible behind the door

Note: Right side

Compatible with some Kenmore dryers.
