Parts for Ge GTD84GCSN0WS: Drum 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

This drum assembly is the rotating tub that holds and tumbles clothes in the dryer, restoring proper load rotation for efficient drying and gentle fabric handling. It replaces a worn or damaged drum to eliminate rubbing and uneven tumbling. What it does

• Provides the rotating drum surface for clothes to tumble during a dry cycle
• Restores smooth rotation if the original drum was dented, cracked, or worn
• Addresses rubbing, scraping, or fabric-catching noises caused by drum damage
• Helps correct uneven tumbling or garments sticking to the drum surface

• One drum assembly

• Disconnect power (and gas, for gas dryers) before beginning service
• Drum assemblies are heavy and may require two people to remove and install safely
• Inspect or replace related parts (belt, rollers, idler, seals) if they show wear

The Heat Diffuser is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is designed to evenly distribute heat throughout the dryer drum, ensuring efficient and consistent drying of clothes. The heat diffuser helps maintain proper airflow and temperature inside the dryer.

Over time, the heat diffuser can become worn out or damaged due to high heat exposure, lint buildup, or mechanical issues. Regular use and lack of maintenance can also contribute to its deterioration.

Symptoms of a bad Heat Diffuser include:

• Uneven drying of clothes
• Longer drying times
• Overheating or burning smell
• Increased noise during operation

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

The Thermostat is an OEM component specifically designed for GE laundry machines. It is a heat-sensing component that monitors and regulates air temperatures inside the dryer drum. Precise thermostat functioning ensures proper drying temperatures are reached and maintained for optimal performance.

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• The dryer failing to heat or only heating intermittently  
• Unexpected temperature display readings or error codes
• Inconsistent moisture removal or garments not fully drying 

Causes include sensor degradation, electrical faults, or improper ventilation reducing its ability to accurately measure temperatures.

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

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 replacement part for GE electric dryers. Located internally near heating components, this safety device monitors drum temperatures to prevent excessive heat accumulation.

Causes of malfunction relate to water residues creating shorts, loose terminals detaching wiring due to vibrations, or a worn heat sensitive mechanism reacting slower over time.

Symptoms involve:

• Repeated thermal cut-off trips mid-cycle
• Inability to select heat settings without errors shown
• Bleach or smoke smells indicating unregulated temperatures

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

The Drum Baffle is an OEM replacement part that fits GE dryers. It is responsible for tumbling clothes during drying cycles. Over time, the baffle can become damaged from wear and tear.

Causes of failure include cracks, thinning plastic, and missing vanes. 

Symptoms of a bad drum baffle include:

• Uneven drying of clothes
• Excess noise during cycles
• Clothes damage from improper tumbling
• Rattling inside the drum

This GE baffle is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models

This ground strap assembly provides a secure electrical path from the appliance chassis to the grounding point, helping maintain proper grounding and reduce shock and interference risks. Designed to replace a worn or damaged grounding connection. What it does:

• Connects the appliance cabinet to the designated grounding point to complete the electrical ground path
• Restores a solid metal-to-metal grounding connection when original strap is corroded, broken, or loose
• Helps prevent arcing, intermittent electrical faults, and improper grounding-related behavior
• Supports safe operation of controls and reduces the risk of electrical shock from energized components

• One ground strap assembly (quantity: 1)

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before inspecting or replacing grounding components
• Use basic hand tools to remove and reinstall mounting screws; ensure ring terminals sit flat under screw heads
• Tighten fasteners to firm contact without over-torquing; verify strap is free of paint, corrosion, or debris at contact points

The Drum Support Shaft and Bearing is an OEM part for GE dryers. This component supports the drum and allows it to rotate smoothly during the drying cycle. The bearing reduces friction, ensuring quiet and efficient operation of the drum.

Common causes of a bad support shaft and bearing include normal wear and tear, overloading the dryer, or a lack of lubrication. These issues can lead to increased friction and stress on the components.

Symptoms of a bad Drum Support Shaft and Bearing include:

• Squeaking or grinding noises during operation
• The drum not rotating smoothly or becoming stuck
• Excessive vibration or wobbling of the drum
• Uneven drying of clothes

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

This combustion chamber is the metal housing that surrounds and directs the gas burner flame in a gas dryer, protecting surrounding components and guiding combustion for reliable heating performance. What it does

• Houses and aligns the burner assembly and igniter to ensure proper flame direction
• Channels exhaust and combustion flow away from sensitive parts
• Helps prevent heat damage to the dryer cabinet and nearby components
• Symptoms this can fix: poor or uneven heating, burner flame misalignment, or burner noise from loose housing

• One combustion chamber housing

• Turn off and unplug the dryer and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Inspect and replace any damaged gaskets or mounting hardware for a proper seal
• Use basic hand tools; avoid bending or deforming the chamber during installation
