Parts for Ge WSM2480TBAAA: 07 - Dryer Bulkhead Parts

This internal-bias thermostat senses oven temperature and helps the control board maintain the set heat level. Replacing a failing thermostat restores more consistent temperature control and more reliable cooking results. What it does:

• Senses cavity temperature and signals the control to cycle the heating element or burner
• Regulates heating cycles so the oven reaches and holds the set temperature
• Common symptoms: oven takes too long to heat, temperature fluctuates or runs too hot, or the oven cycles on/off erratically

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off circuit breaker) before servicing to avoid shock
• Access location varies by model—part is typically mounted near the control or inside the oven cavity housing
• Handle the sensor element and terminals carefully to avoid damage; reuse of mounting hardware depends on your model

This lint screen cover installs in the dryer's door opening over the lint filter. It holds the screen securely and directs airflow through it to capture lint and help protect fabrics as items pass the opening.

• Secures the lint screen in the door opening/front bulkhead so it seats correctly
• Directs airflow through the lint filter for proper lint collection and drying performance
• Smooths the filter opening to help prevent clothes from catching
• Replace if the cover is cracked, warped, loose, or missing, or if you notice lint escaping, longer dry times, or snagged items near the filter area

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Open the door, remove the mounting screws, and lift off the old cover
• Position the new cover and reinstall screws; do not overtighten to avoid cracking
• Verify the lint screen slides and seats properly, then run a short test cycle

This roller support holds the dryer drum roller in place to help the drum turn smoothly and stay aligned. Replacing a worn support can reduce noise and wobble and help protect the belt and drum from uneven wear. What it does:

• Holds and positions the drum roller so the drum rotates with minimal friction
• Keeps drum alignment and belt tracking stable during operation
• Helps prevent drum wobble and uneven wear that can lead to rubbing or thumping noises
• Common symptoms: loud squealing or grinding, thumping during rotation, visible drum wobble

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Access typically requires removing the dryer front or rear panel; follow the model's service manual
• Inspect the roller, axle, and adjacent support components; replace any worn parts to prevent repeat failure
• Use proper tools and secure fasteners to factory torque
