Parts for Ge GFDS150ED1WW: Door Parts

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.

This is a complete microwave oven door assembly that replaces a damaged or broken door to restore proper sealing and safe operation. It provides the outer door panel, window, and latch interface in one unit. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, dented, or shattered microwave door to prevent heat and steam escape
• Restores the door latch and alignment so the microwave can close and latch securely
• Replaces damaged door glass or trim that can obstruct viewing or compromise safety
• Helps eliminate rattling, loose fit, or gaps caused by bent or warped doors

• Disconnect power and follow OEM safety procedures before starting any repair
• Handle door assembly carefully — glass and trim can be sharp and fragile
• Basic hand tools are typically required; access panels or control removal may be needed for some 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.

This cover hinge secures and supports the appliance cabinet/top cover so the panel opens and closes smoothly and stays properly aligned. It replaces a worn or damaged hinge to restore stable cover movement and fit. What it does:

• Supports the cabinet/top cover and helps it pivot without binding
• Restores proper cover alignment to prevent rattling or uneven gaps
• Eliminates noise or rough movement caused by a worn hinge
• Helps the cover stay closed and secure during normal use

• One cover hinge

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Remove any screws or trim panels that block access to the hinge; retain hardware for reassembly
• Handle sheet-metal edges carefully and wear gloves to prevent cuts
• Align the hinge and tighten fasteners securely; test cover operation before returning the appliance to service

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
