Dryer Drum, Bulkhead, Front Parts

The Lint Chute Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. This component plays a crucial role in capturing and collecting lint and other debris from the drying process, ensuring efficient airflow and preventing potential fire hazards.

Symptoms of needing to replace the lint chute assembly include:

• Reduced airflow or poor drying performance
• Visible lint buildup or clogging in the chute or exhaust area
•  Overheating or excessive heat buildup within the dryer
• Unusual noises or vibrations during the drying cycle

Causes of a faulty lint chute assembly can include normal wear and tear over time, clogging due to excessive lint accumulation, or physical damage due to improper cleaning or maintenance.

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

The Trap Duct Assembly is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part directs the airflow from the dryer drum to the exhaust vent. This assembly ensures efficient drying by guiding hot air out of the dryer while collecting lint and debris in the trap, preventing it from clogging the venting system.

Causes of a bad trap duct assembly can include lint buildup over time, physical damage due to heavy usage, or obstruction from foreign objects. 

Symptoms of a bad Trap Duct Assembly include:

• Reduced drying efficiency or longer drying times
• Excessive lint buildup around the dryer
• Overheating of the dryer
• Unusual noises during the drying cycle

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

The Tub Assembly is an OEM component for LG clothes dryers. As the central component housing both the inner and outer drums, the tub assembly is essential for safely drying wet laundry loads. It rotates the drums to circulate air and remove moisture from clothes during cycles. 

Causes of a bad tub assembly dryer can include cracks, leaks, or damage to the drum structure from excessive use or unbalanced loads over time. Wear and tear on rotating or suspension components that impair rotation. 

Symptoms of an issue with the tub assembly dryer are:

• Inefficient or slow drying times 
• Abnormal noises or vibrations during cycles
• Restricted or lack of drum rotation
• Cracks, leaks, or physical damage visible on drums

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

This Dryer Grid Assembly is an OEM part for GE dryers. The grid assembly helps to filter out lint and debris from the air exiting the dryer, ensuring efficient operation and reducing the risk of overheating or fire hazards. 

The need for replacement of the dryer grid assembly can be due to accumulation of lint, physical damage, or general wear over time. A malfunctioning or clogged grid assembly can affect the dryer's performance and safety.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Grid Assembly include:

• Excessive accumulation of lint beyond the lint trap.
• Reduced drying efficiency, leading to longer drying times.
• Unusual amounts of heat coming from the dryer.
• Potential risk of overheating or fire hazards.
• Visible damage or wear to the grid assembly.

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

This is a drum assembly intended for use with dryers. This part can be found inside the dryer and is responsible for holding clothing while a cycle is running. It holds wet laundry while loading the appliance. Over time and with use, the drum assembly can start to wear out. This can cause the dryer to squeal, start and stop during a cycle, make buzzing noises, or seize up.If the drum assembly is damaged, it will need to be replaced. Make sure to have basic tools and a pair of work gloves ready. The dryer should be turned off and unplugged from the wall. Raise the top panel, remove the front panel, and then remove the drum. The drum support roller should be taken out and installed on the new drum. Reinstall with the new component and reassemble all parts before use.The drum assembly is made to be used with dryers and washer/dryer combos from Inglis, Estate, Admiral, Crosley, Roper, Magic Chef, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Kenmore, and Whirlpool. It is a genuine OEM replacement part that is sourced directly from the manufacturer. The part is sold on an individual basis.
