Parts for Ge GUD24GSSM1WW: Drum Parts

The inlet thermostat monitors the temperature of air entering the drum and cycles the heater to maintain proper drying temperatures. Replacing a weak or failed thermostat restores consistent heat control and helps prevent overheating for reliable drying. What it does:

• Senses inlet air temperature and turns the heater on/off to regulate heat
• Helps protect against overheating by opening at a calibrated temperature
• Failure can cause no heat, overheating, or the dryer shutting off mid-cycle
• Common signs include long dry times and inconsistent drying results

• 1 inlet thermostat

• Disconnect power; shut off gas supply if applicable before servicing
• Access is typically at the inlet duct/blower housing area; refer to your model's service information
• Transfer wires one at a time from the old thermostat; mount flush for proper temperature sensing
• After replacement, verify clear airflow and clean lint paths to prevent repeat temperature issues

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 replacement part is a high-limit thermostat, and it is intended for use in different types of appliances. This is a genuine replacement part made by General Electric. This high-limit thermostat is typically found in dryers and controls the heat inside the drying tub. This is especially important as different dryer settings require different amounts of heat. If the high limit thermostat works properly, the temperature inside the tub should reach the correct amount during each drying cycle with no issues. A new high-limit thermostat might be needed if the user notices that the dryer is unable to reach the appropriate level of heat for a certain drying cycle. This is also true if the dryer is becoming too hot when the heat is supposed to be set to low. Make sure the dryer is cooled down prior to replacing this part as the areas in the back of the dryer can become very hot during use. Be sure to reference the specific user manual for more instructions on how to replace the thermostat. This thermostat is sold individually and is a genuine OEM part. The thermostat is sourced directly from the manufacturer.
