The Roller Assembly Wheel is an OEM part for GE dryers. It supports the drum and allows it to rotate smoothly during drying cycles, ensuring efficient and quiet operation. The assembly includes the roller, roller axle shaft, and two retaining clips. The roller is threaded on one side and hexagon-shaped on the other, with a tri-ring included for secure installation.

You should replace this roller assembly wheel if it becomes worn or damaged. Common causes of a bad roller assembly wheel include wear and tear from regular use, accumulation of lint and debris, or damage due to overloading the dryer.

Symptoms of a bad roller assembly wheel include:

• Thumping or squeaking noises during operation
• The drum not rotating properly or getting stuck
• Uneven drying of clothes
• Excessive vibration or movement of the dryer

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

This pulley nut secures the washer's drive pulley to the shaft to keep the belt aligned and power transfer reliable. Replacing a worn or missing nut restores stable spin performance and helps prevent belt slippage and noise.

• Locks the drive pulley to the shaft for proper belt alignment and consistent power transfer
• A loose or stripped nut can cause pulley wobble, belt squeal, slippage, or the belt coming off
• Replace if the original nut is damaged, missing, or will not stay tight after adjustment

• Disconnect power and water supply; safely tip or elevate the washer for bottom access
• Remove the drive belt; hold the pulley while loosening the nut (verify thread direction—do not force)
• Hand-start the new nut to avoid cross-threading; tighten securely per service information and confirm pulley runs true
• Reinstall the belt, verify alignment, and rotate by hand before restoring power

Size: 8 - 18 ab.

A replacement baffle screw and flat washer used to secure the baffle or trim piece in ovens and ranges. Restores proper attachment to reduce vibration and keep the baffle aligned for normal operation. What it does

• Secures the baffle or trim to the oven/range body and prevents movement or rattling.
• Replaces missing, stripped, or corroded mounting hardware that can cause loose or misaligned baffles.
• Helps maintain a tight fit so trim and baffle sit flush with surrounding panels.
• Small, direct-replacement fastener for original baffle mounting points.

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool before accessing internal panels.
• Use the matching size screwdriver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading.
• Tighten until snug — avoid over-tightening, which can strip threads or deform the washer.
• Repair or replace the mounting bracket before installing this hardware.

The Baffle Washer is an OEM part for GE dryers. It works with the baffle screw to secure the dryer baffle in place on the drum. This washer helps to distribute the pressure and prevent the baffle from loosening or coming off during the drying cycle.

A bad washer can lead to issues with the baffle becoming loose or detached, causing uneven tumbling of the clothes or potential damage to the dryer drum. Causes of a bad part can include wear and tear over time, damage due to excessive vibration or movement, or improper installation.

Symptoms of a bad baffle washer include:

• Baffle becoming loose or detached from the dryer drum
• Clothes not tumbling evenly, resulting in uneven drying
• Unusual noises, such as rattling or banging, during operation
• Visible signs of damage or wear on the baffle screw washer

Replace your worn-out or damaged baffle washer with this genuine OEM GE part to ensure secure and smooth operation of the dryer baffle.

This GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 
 

This replacement dryer drum is the rotating tub that holds clothes and allows tumbling during the dry cycle. Replacing a worn or damaged drum restores smooth rotation and helps eliminate rubbing or scraping noises. What it does

• Provides the rotating surface that carries clothes through the dryer drum cycle.
• Restores smooth, balanced tumbling when the original drum is dented, scored, or bent.
• Stops metal-on-metal scraping or grinding noises caused by drum damage or warp.
• Helps resolve drum wobble or uneven rotation that can catch or damage fabric.

• Disconnect power to the dryer before beginning any service; for gas dryers also shut off the gas supply.
• Support the drum when removing panels and retainers to avoid dropping or damaging the new drum.
• Inspect and replace related wear items as needed if visible wear is present.

The Thermistor Inlet is an OEM part for GE dryers. As a temperature monitoring device, it senses air inlet temperatures entering the dryer drum each cycle. This thermistor provides feedback to regulating components like the control board and heating elements.

Symptoms of a faulty thermistor inlet include:  

• Unexpected fluctuation of inlet air temperatures
• Issues activating or deactivating heating elements as needed  
• Potential safety trips from inaccurate temperature readings
• Improper or inconsistent drying times

Causes of a bad thermistor can be normal wear over repeated uses and heat cycles. Mineral scale buildup may also impact sensor accuracy over time. Electrical faults could potentially disrupt functioning.

This OEM GE replacement ensures proper inlet temperature sensing once installed. Compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore dryers as well, it maintains safe, consistent performance through accurate temperature feedback to dryer electronics.

The Drum Baffle is an OEM part for GE electric and gas dryers. Located inside the rotating drum, this baffle helps separate and tumble fabrics efficiently during drying cycles. 

Symptoms of a damaged or improperly functioning baffle include:

• Excessively long dry times 
• Items not fully drying or left damp after a cycle
• Increased tangling or bunching of clothes within the drum

Causes stem from cracking/breaking under repeated impacts from swinging loads, general wear over extended use, or damage upon removal of tightly packed fabrics.

This genuine GE replacement restores balanced tumbling action within the drum.
