The Lint Filter Assembly is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part captures lint and debris from the air flowing through the dryer, preventing these particles from clogging the vent and ensuring efficient airflow.  

Causes of a bad lint filter assembly can include physical damage such as cracks or breaks, wear and tear from regular use, or clogging from excessive lint buildup that can't be cleaned effectively.

Symptoms of a bad lint filter assembly include:

• Lint buildup on clothes after drying
• Longer drying times
• The dryer overheating
• Visible damage or warping of the filter assembly

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

The Lower Drum Felt seal is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. The Lower drum felt seal is responsible for creating a seal between the drum and the front panel of the dryer.

This part fixes the following symptoms:

• Air leaking from the dryer drum
• Reduced dryer efficiency and increased energy costs
• Clothes becoming caught in the gap between the drum and front panel
• Potential damage or snags to clothes or the dryer

Causes of a bad Lower Drum Felt Seal can range from normal wear and tear, which degrades the felt material over time, to excessive load sizes that strain the drum and seal. Additionally, over time, the seal can become compressed or damaged, leading to a less effective seal and the potential for heat loss and inefficiency in the drying process.

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Drum Support Bearing is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is designed to support the rear of the dryer drum, ensuring smooth and stable rotation during the drying cycle. This bearing reduces friction and wear on the drum and motor, contributing to efficient and quiet dryer operation.

You should replace the drum support bearing if it becomes worn out or damaged. Causes of a bad drum support bearing can include regular wear and tear from frequent use, lack of lubrication, or debris accumulation. A faulty bearing can lead to increased friction and noise, affecting the dryer's performance.

Symptoms of a bad drum support bearing include:

• Squeaking or grinding noises during the drying cycle
• The dryer drum not rotating smoothly or being off-balance
• Increased drying times or uneven drying of clothes
• Visible wear or damage to the bearing

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