Parts for Ge GUV27ESSM1WW: 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

Dryer not heating or shutting off mid-cycle? A faulty safety thermostat can cut heat when temperatures climb too high. Direct heater duct mount part.

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.

Dryer not heating or taking too long to dry? This heating element and housing assembly restores proper heat generation and airflow for even drying.
