Parts for Ge GFD14ESSN2WW: Front Panel & Door Parts

This complete dryer door assembly replaces a damaged, dented or broken dryer front door to restore a secure seal and normal dryer access. It gives the dryer a finished appearance and helps maintain proper drying performance. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, dented or warped dryer door that no longer closes properly
• Restores the door seal to help contain heat and lint inside the drum
• Stops rattling, scraping or misalignment caused by a damaged door
• Improves appearance when the original door is cosmetically damaged

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas supply on gas dryers) before starting any repair.
• Handle glass and painted surfaces carefully to avoid breakage and scratches.
• Replacement typically requires removing hinge screws and the front panel; use basic hand tools and keep fasteners organized.
• After installation, verify the door closes evenly and the dryer runs normally.

This front panel is the replacement outer console that restores the appliance's appearance and provides the mounting surface for controls and trim. Use it to replace cracked, dented, or otherwise damaged front panels. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, dented, or broken front console to restore appearance
• Provides the structural mounting surface for control assemblies and trim
• Protects internal components from dust and everyday wear
• Helps ensure knobs and switches have a secure, flush fit

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Handle edges carefully—metal and trim can be sharp.
• Removal may require loosening screws and detaching the control assembly; keep fasteners organized.

This Door Switch is an OEM part for GE dryers. This switch is designed to detect the state of the dryer door, allowing the appliance to operate only when the door is securely closed. This safety mechanism prevents the dryer from running with an open door, which could pose risks and reduce efficiency. 

The need to replace the door switch can arise from mechanical wear, damage from frequent usage, or electrical faults. A faulty door switch can lead to several operational issues in the dryer.

Symptoms of a bad Door Switch include:

• The dryer not starting or operating, despite the door being closed.
• The dryer continues to run when the door is opened.
• Intermittent stopping or starting of the dryer during cycles.
• Unusual behavior or responses from the dryer when the door is interacted with.

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

This hinge screw secures a range/oven door hinge so the door opens and closes smoothly and stays aligned. Replace a stripped or damaged screw to restore proper door movement and reduce wobble or sag. What it does:

• Fastens the oven/range door hinge to the door or cabinet frame
• Keeps the door aligned for even closing and a good seal
• Helps prevent door wobble, sagging, or uneven opening
• Can stop squeaks or binding caused by a worn or damaged screw

• 1 hinge screw

• Turn off power at the breaker and ensure the appliance is cool before starting
• Support the door while removing and reinstalling hinge hardware to avoid dropping it
• Use the correct screwdriver and thread engagement to avoid stripping the screw
• Replace other hinge components if worn to ensure proper alignment

A small replacement housing screw that secures appliance panels and brackets, restoring proper fit and preventing rattles or loose panels. Fits common appliance housings where a short ST4 x 12 self-tapping screw is required. What it does:

• Fastens housing panels, trim, or internal brackets to maintain proper alignment and reduce vibration
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that cause loose or rattling panels
• Works with sheet metal and plastic mounting points designed for ST4 thread size
• Small, low-profile head designed for appliance interiors

• One housing screw (ST4 x 12)

• Disconnect power before servicing the appliance and work on cool surfaces
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head
• Install gently and avoid overtightening to prevent thread or panel damage

This humidity sensor and harness assembly detects moisture levels inside the appliance and delivers reliable signal feedback to the control board so the appliance can regulate humidity-sensitive functions and preserve stored items. What it does:

• Senses interior humidity and sends signal to the control module for proper humidity management
• Helps the appliance maintain fresher conditions in humidity-controlled compartments
• Commonly replaced when humidity-related controls stop responding or readouts are inconsistent
• Works as the electrical interface between the sensor element and the main wiring harness

• One humidity sensor with attached harness assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid electric shock
• Handle the sensor and connector carefully to avoid bending pins or damaging the harness
• Verify connector orientation and secure clip engagement; route the harness away from moving parts
• Test the control board and related dampers/actuators if symptoms persist after replacement.

This ground screw secures an appliance's chassis grounding connection to ensure a reliable electrical ground and help reduce the risk of shock or electrical faults. Simple replacement when the original screw is missing, damaged, or corroded. What it does:

• Fastens the appliance ground wire or grounding strap to the metal chassis for a secure electrical ground.
• Restores a proper grounding point when the original screw is loose, stripped, corroded, or missing.
• Helps address symptoms related to poor grounding, such as intermittent power, electrical noise, or tripped breakers (as reported).
• Provides a direct, stable connection that supports safe appliance operation.

• One ground screw

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repairs to avoid electrical shock.
• Tighten to snug contact with the chassis; avoid overtightening which can strip threads or damage the metal.
• If ground wire or chassis threads are damaged, inspect for necessary additional parts or repair.

This door strike latch assembly secures the refrigerator/freezer door in the closed position, helping maintain proper seal and temperature control. Replace a worn or broken strike to restore reliable door engagement and prevent air leaks. What it does:

• Aligns with the door catch to keep the door closed and sealed
• Ensures the door engages firmly to prevent warm air from entering the compartment
• Common fix for doors that fail to latch, feel loose, or cause frequent warm-temperature warnings
• Works with the existing door catch and mounting hardware to restore normal operation

• One door strike latch assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Remove the inner door panel or access cover as required to reach the strike; keep track of fasteners
• Align the strike with the door catch and secure with original screws; avoid overtightening

This door switch confirms the dryer door is closed so the appliance can start and run. Replacing a worn or failed switch restores safe operation by preventing the drum and heater from operating with the door open.

• Senses the door open/closed position and signals the control/start circuit
• Enables the motor and heat only when the door is fully closed
• Typical failure symptoms: dryer won't start, must hold the door to run, or stops when the door is moved
• Drum light stays on or off incorrectly when the door is opened/closed

• Disconnect power to the dryer before servicing
• Access the switch from behind the front panel or top cover, depending on model; remove mounting screw(s) or release locking tabs
• Transfer the wire connectors to the new switch one at a time to maintain placement
• Ensure the actuator "clicks" with door movement and test operation before reassembly
