Parts for Ge GUD27ESPM1DG: Drum Parts

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 is the rotating cylinder that tumbles laundry in your dryer. Replacing a damaged or out-of-round drum restores smooth, quiet tumbling and helps protect fabrics from snags, scraping, and uneven drying.

• Forms the rotating chamber that holds clothes; driven by the belt and motor to tumble items for drying
• Works with drum seals and lifters/baffles to maintain airflow and separate fabrics for even drying
• Replacing a dented, cracked, or out-of-round drum can resolve thumping, scraping, or rumbling noises
• Addresses sharp seams, loose spots, or rust that can snag/tear clothing or leave marks

• Disconnect power; shut off gas supply for gas models before service
• Remove top/front panels and release belt tension to lift out the old drum; note belt routing
• Compare parts and move over any reusable, model-specific components if required
• Inspect belt, idler pulley, bearings, and felt seals while open; replace if worn

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.

Replace a failed heating element with this Heater and Housing Assembly. It restores proper electric heat and airflow through the drum so loads dry evenly and within a normal cycle time. What it does:

• Generates heat as air moves through the element canister
• Replaces a broken, shorted, or open heater to restore drying performance
• Typical symptoms: no heat, very long dry times, drum tumbles but stays cool
• Often confirmed by an open (no continuity) reading on the element with a multimeter

• One heater and housing assembly

• Disconnect power by unplugging the dryer or switching off the circuit breaker; allow the unit to cool
• Access the heater housing, label wire positions, and remove mounting fasteners to swap the assembly
• Transfer any reusable brackets or hardware from the old unit as required by your model
• After installation, confirm good airflow and clean the vent/duct to prevent overheating and repeat failures

Size: 8 - 18 ab.
