The Cycling Thermostat is an OEM part for GE dryers. It regulates the temperature inside the dryer drum by cycling the heating element on and off, ensuring that the dryer maintains an optimal drying temperature throughout the cycle. This thermostat is essential for efficient drying performance and preventing overheating.

Causes of a bad cycling thermostat can include regular wear and tear, exposure to high temperatures, or electrical malfunctions. A faulty thermostat can disrupt the drying process and may lead to safety concerns.

Symptoms of a bad cycling thermostat include:

• The dryer not heating properly
• Clothes taking longer than usual to dry
• The dryer overheating or shutting off prematurely
• The dryer not starting or completing cycles

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 serves as a crucial safety component, designed to prevent overheating by cutting off power to the dryer's heating elements when excessive temperatures are detected.

Symptoms of a faulty High Limit Thermostat include:

• Dryer not heating or running at all
• Dryer cycling on and off repeatedly during operation
• Error codes related to the thermal protection system

Causes of a bad High Limit Thermostat can include exposure to excessive heat over time, electrical issues, or physical damage to the thermostat itself. 

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

This safety thermostat mounts on the left side of the dryer's heater/air duct. It helps protect the dryer by opening the heat circuit if temperatures climb too high, preventing overheating and enabling safe operation.

• Monitors dryer temperature and opens the circuit when excessive heat is detected
• Helps prevent overheating that could damage components or fabrics
• Typical failure symptoms: no heat, long dry times, very hot cabinet, or a burning smell
• Location-specific part: installs on the left side of the heater housing/exhaust duct

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off gas supply
• Access the heater housing/exhaust duct; note left-side location and take a photo of wire positions
• Transfer wires one at a time and secure the thermostat with existing hardware
• Clean lint paths and verify venting/airflow to prevent repeat overheating

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 replacement drum assembly restores the rotating drum that holds and tumbles clothes in your dryer, helping return smooth operation and reduce rubbing or scraping noises. Designed as a direct-fit service part when matched to your model. What it does:

• Houses and supports clothes while rotating during dry cycles to enable tumbling and even drying.
• Provides a smooth, durable surface to prevent clothes from catching or rubbing against the cabinet.
• Maintains correct drum alignment so the belt and rollers run smoothly.
• Common symptoms indicating a worn drum: loud scraping or grinding, visible drum wobble, or clothes that don't tumble properly.

• Disconnect power (and gas for gas dryers) before beginning any service.
• Retain original mounting hardware; additional fasteners or seals may be required if not supplied.

The Baffle is an OEM part for GE electric dryers. Located inside the dryer drum, it helps separate clothes and improves air circulation during tumbling cycles. 

To achieve consistent drying times, a dryer relies on balanced airflow penetrating all areas where clothes reside. The baffle creates divisions to ensure air fully surrounds each layer instead of bypassing some areas. Its raised ridges also help tumbling action by preventing clumps of clothes.

Symptoms of a bad baffle include:

• Slow, uneven drying requiring extra cycles  
• Certain areas of clothes remain damp while others over-dry
• Reduced airflow output from the vent due to blockage

Replacing it with the genuine GE baffle plate restores optimized air distribution within the drum. The part is also compatible with some Kenmore dryers that use GE elements.

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 Heater and Housing Assembly is an OEM part for GE electric dryers. As the main heat source, the heater coil works together with the housing to effectively heat air flowing through the dryer. Precisely maintaining optimal drying temperatures is crucial to the drying process. 

Symptoms of a bad heater and housing assembly include:

• Inefficient or prolonged drying times 
• Excessive lint accumulation inside the housing
• Rust or damage visible on the heater coil
• Odors produced from a burnt-out or shorted heater element

Causes can be normal wear over time, moisture damage if the housing is not cleaned regularly, or an internal short if the heater coil is cracked or broken.

This heater and housing replacement is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore electric dryer models.

The Rear Drum Bearing Sleeve is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is designed to support the rear of the dryer drum, ensuring smooth rotation during the drying cycle. This sleeve reduces friction between the drum and the bearing, contributing to efficient and quiet operation of the dryer. This is the dryer rear drum bearing sleeve only. For the rear drum bearing kit order WE25M40.

You should replace the rear drum bearing sleeve if it becomes worn out or damaged. Causes of a bad bearing sleeve can include regular wear and tear, lack of lubrication, or excessive loads that cause undue stress on the component. A malfunctioning bearing sleeve can lead to increased friction, noise, and potential damage to other parts of the dryer.

Symptoms of a bad rear drum bearing sleeve include:

• Squeaking, grinding, or rumbling noises during the drying cycle
• The dryer drum not rotating smoothly or being off-balance
• Increased drying times due to inefficient drum movement
• Visible wear or damage to the sleeve

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

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.
