This flat washer provides a durable spacer and load-bearing surface for appliance fasteners, helping secure parts and reduce wear. It restores proper fit where a worn or missing washer causes looseness or vibration. What it does

• Distributes nut or bolt load to protect mating surfaces and prevent pull-through
• Maintains proper fastener spacing to help prevent loosening from vibration
• Helps reduce rattling and wear where panels or components meet
• Used wherever a flat metal washer is specified in the appliance assembly

• Turn off power and unplug the appliance before accessing fasteners
• Match washer size and orientation to the original during installation
• Use appropriate hand tools and avoid overtightening fasteners

This plastic bearing supports a small rotating shaft within the appliance's control mechanism. It reduces friction and wear so the selector or rotary component turns smoothly and stays properly aligned.

• Provides a low-friction interface between a rotating shaft and its housing
• Helps maintain smooth, even rotation and proper alignment
• Can address stiffness, binding, or excessive play when turning a selector
• Helps prevent accelerated wear on mating parts

• Disconnect power to the appliance; turn off gas supply if applicable
• Access the rotating mechanism; remove any knob/dial or cover as needed to reach the bearing
• Note the orientation of the original part; press the new bearing fully into place without forcing or adding lubricants unless specified by the manufacturer
• Reassemble and test for smooth, consistent rotation

This M4 x 16 mm machine screw secures appliance components where a small metric fastener is required. It provides a direct replacement to restore proper fit and alignment for panels, brackets, and internal assemblies. What it does

• Fastens small components and brackets in appliance assemblies using an M4 thread and 16 mm length
• Replaces worn, missing, or stripped screws that cause loose panels or rattling
• Helps maintain proper alignment to prevent vibration and intermittent contact
• Suitable where a standard M4 x 16 mm machine screw is specified by the manufacturer

• One M4 x 16 mm screw

• Disconnect power and follow manufacturer safety instructions before servicing
• Use the correct driver to avoid stripping the head; turn until snug but avoid overtightening
• Inspect mating threads and replace if damaged; use thread-lock if originally specified
• If the original screw used a washer or special head, verify fit before final assembly

This GE Roller Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. It plays a role in the smoothness and efficient operation of the dryer drum.

Roller assemblies can go bad over time due to regular use, accumulation of lint and debris, or mechanical strain. A failing roller assembly might lead to a range of operational issues in the dryer. Identifying and addressing these issues early is crucial to maintaining the appliance's efficiency and prolonging its lifespan.

Symptoms of a bad Roller Assembly include:

• Unusual noises, such as thumping or squeaking, when the dryer is running.
• The dryer drum struggling to rotate smoothly or getting stuck.
• Increased vibration or shaking of the dryer during operation.
• The dryer drum appears misaligned or wobbles during use.

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

This handle tapping screw secures an appliance's handle to its door or front panel. Replacing a missing or stripped screw restores a firm, safe grip and prevents a loose or rattling handle. What it does:

• Fastens the handle to the door or front panel
• Self-tapping design engages/cuts threads for a secure hold
• Replaces missing, rusted, or stripped handle screws
• Helps correct a loose, wobbly, or rattling handle

• One handle tapping screw

• Disconnect power before service; for gas ranges, also shut off gas
• Support the handle while removing/installing screws to avoid stressing glass or trim
• Start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Keep track of any decorative end caps or spacers for reassembly

This spring filter cover replaces the worn or broken cover that secures the filter spring and housing, helping ensure the filter stays seated and the dispenser/filtration system operates reliably. Simple replacement restores proper filter retention. What it does:

• Secures the filter spring and holds the filter assembly in place
• Prevents the filter from shifting or dislodging during use
• Helps maintain proper water flow through the filter housing
• Commonly replaces cracked, warped, or missing covers that cause leaks or poor filter fit

• Designed for direct replacement; remove water filter and disconnect power or water supply per your model before starting
• Inspect the spring and housing for damage; replace any worn components to ensure proper function
• Hand-tighten only—avoid overtightening plastic parts to prevent cracking

The Dryer Lint Filter is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. This lint filter is designed to trap lint and debris from clothing during the drying cycle, preventing it from entering the dryer's exhaust system. By capturing lint, the filter helps maintain airflow efficiency, ensuring optimal drying performance and reducing the risk of fire hazards.

Over time, lint filters can become worn, torn, or clogged due to regular use. A damaged or ineffective filter may allow lint to bypass the trap, potentially clogging the vent system and impacting dryer efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad lint filter include:

• Visible tears or holes in the filter mesh
• Excessive lint buildup in the dryer drum or vent
• Longer drying times or reduced drying efficiency
• Difficulty fitting the filter securely into its slot

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

This replacement filter cover restores the water-filter access door so the filter stays secured and the filter bay stays sealed for reliable water flow and easy filter changes. It's a direct-fit service part for compatible GE refrigerators. What it does:

• Secures the water filter in its housing so the cartridge stays seated during operation
• Helps keep the filter compartment sealed against dust and debris
• Prevents the filter from falling out or shifting while the fridge door is opened and closed
• Reduces the chance of water seepage around the filter area when properly installed

• Turn off the refrigerator's water supply and open the fridge door before replacing the cover.
• Remove the old cover by unlatching or pulling as required, then snap or slide the new cover into place until it latches.
• Inspect the filter seal and seating; replace the water filter if damaged or worn.
