This dryer inlet thermostat monitors the temperature of incoming air and cycles the heater to maintain proper drying temperatures. Replacing a failed thermostat can restore consistent heat, help prevent overheating, and improve overall drying performance.

• Senses inlet air temperature and opens/closes electrical contacts to control the heat source
• Helps regulate drying temperature and protect against overheating
• Failure may present as long dry times, no or intermittent heat, overheating/shutting off, or erratic temperature swings
• Typically mounted on the air intake/duct or blower housing, depending on model

• Disconnect power before service; if gas, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the thermostat at the front duct or blower housing; note wire positions and transfer one at a time
• Mount flush against the metal surface with existing hardware to ensure proper sensing
• After installation, clear lint from ducting and vents to ensure proper airflow

The Inlet Control Thermistor is an OEM part for GE dryers. It monitors and regulates the temperature of the incoming air to ensure optimal drying performance. This thermistor sends temperature readings to the dryer's control board, which adjusts the heating element accordingly to maintain the desired temperature throughout the drying cycle.

You should replace this inlet control thermistor if it becomes faulty or fails to provide accurate temperature readings. Common causes of a bad thermistor include electrical failures, damage from overheating, or wear and tear from regular use.

Symptoms of a bad inlet control thermistor include:

• Dryer not heating properly
• Overheating or uneven drying
• Dryer shutting off prematurely
• Error codes related to temperature issues

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

The High Limit Thermostat is an OEM part for GE dryers. It helps regulate the temperature within the dryer drum. This thermostat is designed to monitor the internal temperature and prevent overheating by cutting off the power to the heating element if it exceeds a certain limit.

Causes of a bad Thermostat can include a malfunctioning temperature sensor, a buildup of lint or debris that restricts airflow, or a faulty heating element that causes the thermostat to continuously trip.

Symptoms of a bad High Limit Thermostat include:

• Dryer not heating or taking longer than usual to dry clothes
• Dryer overheating and shutting off prematurely
• Dryer producing unusual or burning smells
• Visible damage or discoloration on the thermostat itself

This GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.

Supports and stabilizes the dryer drum for smooth rotation. Replace if shaft is worn, bearing is damaged, or drum wobbles or sinks at the rear.

This oven baffle redirects heat inside the oven cavity to promote even cooking and protects internal components from direct flame or element exposure. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to restore proper airflow and prevent damage from a warped or missing baffle. What it does:

• Redirects and evens oven heat to help consistent baking and roasting
• Shields oven walls and wiring from direct contact with heating elements
• Prevents rattling or vibration caused by a loose or broken baffle
• Helps reduce hotspots caused by a damaged or warped deflector

• One replacement oven baffle

• Disconnect power (or gas) and allow the oven to fully cool before starting
• Typical install requires basic hand tools; handle carefully to avoid sharp edges
• Verify proper placement and secure mounting to prevent contact with heating elements

Protection bracket for dryers. Mounts internally to shield components from damage. Replace if bent, broken, or missing to restore proper protection.

Dryer not heating or taking too long to dry? This heating element and housing assembly restores heat production. DIY-friendly repair for electric dryers.

If your dryer isn't heating properly or has inconsistent drying, the heater housing may need replacement. This part directs heated air into the drum.

If your dryer runs but clothes stay wet or drying takes too long, the heating element may have failed. This coil heats air to dry clothes efficiently.

Fix electrical grounding issues with this dryer ground strap assembly. Restores proper chassis grounding to reduce shock risk. Simple repair for worn connections.

A small rubber-lined washer that cushions and electrically isolates connections to reduce metal-on-metal contact and damp vibration. Helps protect parts and maintain proper spacing for reliable operation. What it does:

• Cushions fasteners and mounting points to reduce vibration and noise
• Provides electrical insulation between metal components
• Prevents wear from direct metal-to-metal contact
• Keeps assemblies aligned by maintaining correct spacing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the mounting area per your model's service instructions
• Replace with the same style and orientation to ensure proper fit and insulation
• Inspect surrounding hardware and replace any damaged fasteners or worn mounting surfaces

This is a small screw, and it is made for dryers, washers, and washer dryer combos. This is a genuine replacement part made by General Electric. Screws are common in these appliances and can cause many difficulties if they become loose, damaged, or missing.A new screw might be needed if there are areas in the appliance that seem off balance or not level. Another way to tell if a new screw is needed is if there are parts in the appliance that are loose or falling off. This is common over many years of normal use as the shaking of washers and dryers can eventually lead to loose screws. Be sure the washer or dryer is completely off before attempting to replace any screws.This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually and is compatible with washers, dryers, and washer dryer combos made by General Electric.

The bearing retainer secures the drum bearing assembly in your dryer. Replace if cracked, broken, or worn to restore proper structural support.

Supports the rear dryer drum for smooth, quiet rotation. Replace if you hear squeaking, screeching, or thumping during cycles. Verify fit with your model.

The O Ring is an OEM part for GE dryers, creating a tight seal in different components for efficient operation. This small part prevents air leaks that can impact drying performance, made from quality materials to withstand high temperatures and frequent use

Causes of a faulty O Ring in a dryer may stem from heat exposure, regular wear and tear, or chemical damage. This can result in reduced elasticity, cracks, or breaks, impacting the seal.

Symptoms of a bad O Ring in your dryer include:

• Reduced efficiency in drying, as air leaks can affect the dryer's ability to maintain the correct temperature.
• Unusual noises stemming from air escaping through the compromised seal.
• Potential for small leaks or condensation within the dryer's internal components, leading to moisture issues.

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