This drum assembly is the rotating tub that holds clothes and provides the tumbling action in the dryer. Replacing a worn or damaged drum restores proper rotation and helps prevent rubbing, noise, and garment damage. What it does:

• Provides the rotating drum surface that tumbles clothes during drying
• Replaces a cracked, dented, or out-of-round drum that can catch or rub fabrics
• Stops metal-on-metal or scraping noises caused by damaged drum edges
• Helps restore even airflow and tumbling when a failed drum was causing binding

• One drum assembly

• Disconnect power (and gas supply for gas dryers) before starting any repair
• Replacement typically requires access to the dryer cabinet; follow manufacturer instructions
• Inspect rollers, belt, glides, and seals while drum is out and replace any worn parts
• Wear gloves to avoid sharp edges and test operation before full reassembly

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 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 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 Dryer Thermostat is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is responsible for regulating the temperature inside the dryer, ensuring that clothes are dried efficiently and safely. The thermostat monitors the heat levels and cycles the heating element on and off to maintain the desired temperature.

Over time, dryer thermostats can fail due to electrical malfunctions, overheating, or wear and tear from regular use. A faulty thermostat can lead to improper drying temperatures, which can cause various issues with your dryer’s performance.

Symptoms of a bad dryer thermostat include:

• Clothes taking longer to dry
• Dryer not heating at all
• Overheating and potential burning smell
• Dryer shutting off prematurely

This GE 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 gas diffuser directs and evens the burner flame for reliable cooking performance. It helps stabilize heat distribution so burners light and heat more consistently across cookware. What it does:

• Spreads and evens gas flame to reduce hot spots and uneven cooking
• Helps stabilize burner ignition and maintain consistent flame shape
• Prevents direct flame contact with surrounding components
• Addresses symptoms like uneven heating, unstable flame, or partial burner operation

• One gas diffuser

• Turn off the gas supply and unplug the appliance before servicing
• Use basic hand tools; avoid overtightening or distorting the part
• If corrosion or sealed fasteners are present, replace affected hardware and check surrounding components

The Flame Sensor is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part detects the presence of a flame in gas dryers, ensuring that the gas ignites properly for safe and efficient drying.

Causes of a bad flame sensor can include regular wear and tear, carbon buildup from the gas flame, or electrical malfunctions.

Symptoms of a bad flame sensor include:

• The dryer not heating or taking longer to dry clothes
• The dryer shutting off unexpectedly during a cycle
• The igniter glowing but not igniting the gas
• Error codes related to heating or ignition issues
