Parts for Ge GUD27GSSM2WW: Drum Parts

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.

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 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.

This safety thermostat is a temperature-sensitive cutoff for gas dryers. It monitors heat at the burner housing and opens the circuit if temperatures rise too high, helping protect the appliance and restore safe, reliable heating performance.

• Monitors burner/heater housing temperature to prevent overheating
• Opens the heat circuit when an over-temperature condition occurs
• Common symptoms: no heat, burner won't ignite or stay lit, heat shuts off too soon, long dry times
• Overheating or failure is often caused by restricted airflow; check venting and lint buildup

• Disconnect power and shut off gas supply before servicing
• Access the thermostat on the burner/heater housing; transfer wires one at a time and mount flush using the original hardware
• Do not overtighten; ensure firm metal-to-metal contact for accurate sensing
• After repair, clear lint and verify strong airflow at the exterior vent to prevent repeat issues
