This plug is an electrical wire connector that restores a secure, insulated connection between appliance wiring and components. It helps prevent intermittent power loss and reduces the risk of shorts from damaged or loose wiring. What it does:

• Provides a secure mating point for a component or harness to carry electrical power
• Insulates and protects exposed terminals from contact and shorting
• Replaces cracked, melted, or loose connector housings that cause intermittent operation
• Commonly used when a control, sensor, or motor has lost power due to a failed connector

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or appliance plug before inspecting or replacing electrical connectors
• Match the connector shape and terminal count to the existing harness to ensure proper fit
• Inspect surrounding wiring and terminals for heat damage; replace any damaged wires or terminals to prevent recurrence

This dryer blower wheel mounts on the motor shaft to move air through the drum, lint filter, and exhaust duct, helping maintain proper airflow, even drying, and overall dryer performance.

• Moves air through the drum, lint screen, and duct to exhaust moisture and lint
• If the hub is stripped or the wheel is loose on the motor shaft, airflow drops and dry times increase
• Cracked, warped, or broken fins can cause rattling, scraping, or vibration during operation
• Common symptoms include weak air at the vent, longer cycles, or unusual noise from the lower/front cabinet area

• Disconnect power; if gas, also shut off the gas supply. Wear gloves—sheet-metal edges can be sharp
• Access the blower housing by removing the front/lower panel and blower cover as your model requires
• Note thread direction and any retaining nut/clip when removing; transfer any reusable hardware to the new wheel
• Clear lint and debris from the blower housing and ducts; ensure the new wheel spins freely without rubbing before reassembly

Keep your dryer drum turning smoothly. This idler & pulley assembly maintains proper tension on the drive belt so the drum rotates quietly and efficiently when the original idler or pulley becomes worn, noisy, or seized. What it does:

• Applies spring-loaded tension to the drive belt for consistent drum rotation
• Provides a smooth rolling surface to minimize belt friction and wear
• Worn/failed parts may cause squealing or chirping, the drum not turning, the belt slipping off or breaking, or a hot rubber smell

• One idler and pulley assembly

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the belt path by removing the necessary panels per your service information
• Pull the idler to release belt tension, remove the old assembly, install the new one, and route the belt correctly around the motor and idler
• Manually rotate the drum to verify belt tracking before reassembly and test run

The Dryer Belt is an OEM part for GE dryers. This belt wraps around the drum, motor pulley, and tension pulley, enabling the drum to spin during the drying cycle. It plays a crucial role in the mechanical operation of the dryer.

Common causes of a bad dryer belt include normal wear and tear from repeated use, overloading the dryer, or damage from obstructions inside the drum.

Symptoms of a bad dryer belt include:

• The drum not turning when the dryer is running
• A burning smell during operation
• Unusual noises such as thumping or squeaking
•  The dryer stopping mid-cycle

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