Dryer Spring Parts

This idler spring maintains proper tension on the dryer drum belt by keeping the idler pulley engaged. Replacing a weak or broken spring restores consistent drum rotation and helps prevent belt slippage and squealing during operation.

• Maintains belt tension by pulling the idler arm/pulley against the drum belt
• Helps the motor start and keep the drum turning smoothly
• Reduces belt slippage that can cause squealing or chirping
• Common symptoms of a failed spring: drum won't turn or turns intermittently; belt comes off or feels loose; loud squeal from idler area

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, shut off the gas supply
• Access the idler assembly; relieve belt tension and note belt/spring routing before removal
• Attach the new spring to the same holes/orientation on the idler arm and base; verify belt path
• Rotate the drum by hand to confirm alignment and tension before reassembly

This spring-timer knob replaces a worn, cracked or missing timer knob so you can set and adjust the appliance's mechanical timer reliably. Simple, direct replacement that restores the user control interface. What it does:

• Fits onto the appliance's mechanical timer shaft to allow setting and advancing the timer
• Restores a secure grip and pointer for accurate time selection
• Commonly used to fix loose, cracked, stripped, or missing timer knobs
• Helps resolve inability to turn or set the mechanical timer caused by a damaged knob

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Pull the old knob straight off the timer shaft; align splines and press the new knob fully onto the shaft until seated
• If the knob is tight, use a proper knob puller or gentle, even leverage to avoid damaging the shaft

A replacement spring idler that provides the tension needed to keep the dryer drive/idler assembly aligned so the drum and belt run smoothly. Restores proper belt tension to help reduce slipping and noisy operation. What it does:

• Applies tension to the idler pulley so the drive belt stays engaged with the motor and drum
• Helps prevent belt slippage that can cause the drum to stop turning or turn intermittently
• Reduces squealing or grinding noises caused by a loose or misaligned belt/idler
• Supports consistent drum rotation for efficient drying performance

• 1 spring idler (tension spring) as pictured

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Replace only with the exact part number for your unit;
• Basic hand tools are typically required;
• If you find damaged pulleys, belt, or excessive wear, inspect those components and replace as needed

This spring push button restores proper button feel and return action on compatible GE control panels so buttons don't stick and respond reliably. It's a simple, low-cost way to refresh worn or jammed panel controls. What it does

• Provides the return spring and button interface so a depressed control returns to its normal position
• Restores tactile feedback for sticky or sluggish push-button controls
• Helps resolve intermittent or non-responsive button operation caused by worn button parts
• Designed to work with the corresponding OEM button housing on compatible GE panels

• One spring push button

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Accessing the button may require removal of the control panel or trim—follow your model's service instructions
• Replace only with the exact OEM part number and reassemble panels carefully to avoid damage
• Test button operation after reassembly to ensure proper function

This idler spring secures and tensions the dryer drum/idler assembly to maintain proper belt alignment and drum rotation. Replacing a worn or broken idler spring restores correct tension for smooth, consistent drying performance. What it does:

• Applies tension to the idler pulley to keep the drive belt tight and aligned.
• Helps prevent the belt from slipping, dragging, or coming off the drum.
• Reduces unusual squeaks, rubbing noises, and irregular drum movement caused by a failed spring.
• Works as part of the idler/drive assembly that ensures even drum rotation.

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Inspect the idler pulley, belt, and mounting hardware while replacing the spring; replace any visibly damaged parts.
• Use caution when releasing or installing tensioned components to avoid pinch injuries.
