Parts for Ge GTD86ESPJ0MC: Electric Heater & Brackets Parts

The Hi-Limit Thermostat is an OEM part for GE dryers. Located inside the motor housing, this safety device senses heat levels and protects the dryer from overheating. 

During a dryer's operation, the motor generates heat through its movements. The hi-limit thermostat monitors the temperature around the motor to prevent dangerously high heat from developing. If conditions cause excessive warmth, it opens the circuit to instantly cut power to the motor and stop further heating.

Causes of a faulty thermostat can include regular wear over time reducing its precise heat-sensing, overheating damage taking place internally, or impacts affecting the calibration.

Symptoms of a bad hi-limit thermostat include:

• The dryer failing to start or stop mid-cycle
• Fuses or breakers repeatedly blowing during use  
• A burnt/melting plastic smell emanating from the motor

It is also compatible with some Kenmore dryers that contain GE internals.

This remote heater assembly supplies the heating element used by the appliance's oven/heating system so your unit reaches and maintains set temperatures. Replaces a failed heater module to restore proper heat output and cooking/drying performance. What it does

• Heats the oven/heating cavity so the appliance can reach and hold set temperatures.
• Helps ensure even temperature distribution during bake and broil cycles.
• A defective unit can cause no heat, inadequate/slow heating, or failure to reach selected temperature.
• May trigger temperature-related error codes or cause long cycle times when failing.

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before servicing to avoid shock, burns, or fire hazards.
• Handle the heater and its terminals carefully — the element and connectors are fragile.
• Verify proper connector seating and secure mounting; follow OEM torque/fastening guidance if available.

This support housing secures and aligns internal components inside the appliance, restoring stable operation and reducing noise from loose parts. It replaces worn or cracked housings that allow internal movement and vibration. What it does:

• Provides a secure mounting point for internal parts to keep them properly aligned
• Helps prevent rubbing, vibration, and noisy operation caused by a loose or damaged housing
• Restores correct spacing so rotating parts run smoothly and without interference
• Supports long-term component stability to reduce premature wear on adjoining parts

• One support housing

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid electrical shock
• Removal typically requires access panels and basic hand tools; follow OEM disassembly steps
• Inspect surrounding fasteners and adjacent parts; replace any damaged clips or screws for a secure fit
• Handle sharp edges carefully and test operation after reassembly

A replacement screw used to secure panels and components in compatible GE appliances. Replacing missing or damaged screws restores secure mounting, reduces rattling, and helps keep parts aligned during normal operation. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, brackets, or small appliance components to maintain proper alignment and fit.
• Keeps internal parts secured to reduce vibration, rattling, or movement during use.
• Replaces stripped, rusted, or missing hardware that can cause loose or misaligned panels.
• Small, non-electrical part — does not affect electrical circuits or controls.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before accessing internal parts.
• Use the properly sized screwdriver to avoid stripping the head; hand-start threads to prevent cross-threading.
• Tighten securely but avoid over-torquing; overtightening can strip threads or damage plastic components.
• Keep track of small parts and hardware; replace any damaged or mismatched screws with the correct OEM part.
