General Electric Axle, Roller, Pulley Parts

This GE Roller Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. It plays a role in the smoothness and efficient operation of the dryer drum.

Roller assemblies can go bad over time due to regular use, accumulation of lint and debris, or mechanical strain. A failing roller assembly might lead to a range of operational issues in the dryer. Identifying and addressing these issues early is crucial to maintaining the appliance's efficiency and prolonging its lifespan.

Symptoms of a bad Roller Assembly include:

• Unusual noises, such as thumping or squeaking, when the dryer is running.
• The dryer drum struggling to rotate smoothly or getting stuck.
• Increased vibration or shaking of the dryer during operation.
• The dryer drum appears misaligned or wobbles during use.

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

This drum roller assembly supports the dryer drum and helps it turn smoothly during cycles, reducing noise and wear. Replaces a worn or noisy roller to restore quieter, more consistent drum rotation. What it does:

• Supports the dryer drum and maintains proper alignment during rotation
• Reduces grinding, squeaking, or thumping noises caused by worn rollers
• Prevents excessive drum wobble that can lead to uneven drying or wear
• Helps bearings and drum seals last longer by maintaining smooth movement

• Disconnect power and gas before starting any repair
• Remove front or rear access panels and drum as required for safe replacement
• Inspect adjacent parts and replace if visibly worn
• Handle small parts carefully and follow OEM instructions for torque and reassembly

This bearing assembly supports the dryer drum and helps the drum rotate smoothly for quiet, even drying. Replacing a worn bearing restores stable drum movement and reduces noise and vibration. What it does:

• Provides a low-friction support surface for the dryer drum, helping it spin properly
• Prevents drum wobble and off-center rotation that can wear belts and rollers
• Reduces squealing, grinding, or rumbling noises caused by a failing bearing
• Helps maintain even drying by keeping the drum aligned

• Disconnect power and fuel (gas) supply before starting any repair
• Access typically requires removing the dryer front or rear panel and drum; refer to a model-specific repair guide
• Use proper tools and support the drum during removal to avoid damage
• Inspect adjacent parts (shaft, seal, rollers) for wear and replace if visibly damaged

This upper rack wheel replaces a worn or broken roller to restore smooth rack movement and proper dish spacing. It fits onto the dishwasher's upper rack assembly and helps the rack glide in and out without sticking. What it does:

• Replaces a damaged or missing upper rack roller so the rack moves smoothly.
• Prevents the rack from catching, tilting, or coming off the track.
• Helps maintain proper rack alignment for safe loading and unloading.
• Reduces noise and friction caused by cracked or worn wheels.

• Disconnect power to the dishwasher before servicing to avoid electrical hazards.
• Remove the upper rack or move it to the service position to access the wheel assembly.
• Remove the old wheel from its axle or clip; install the new wheel by snapping or sliding it into place per the rack's mounting—verify it turns freely.
• Reinstall the rack and cycle it slowly by hand to ensure smooth operation before normal use.

This door hinge pin is the pivot that allows a dishwasher door hinge to open and close smoothly. Replacing a worn or missing pin restores aligned, controlled door movement and proper latching performance.

• Provides the hinge's pivot point between the hinge arm and the cabinet/frame
• Helps maintain proper door alignment for smooth opening and closing
• Wear or damage may cause squeaking/clicking, binding or uneven motion, door dropping too quickly, or difficulty latching
• Restores correct hinge operation when an original pin is bent, worn, or missing

• Disconnect power at the breaker and turn off water before servicing
• Support the door and relieve hinge spring tension; remove the toe-kick/access panel to reach the hinge area
• Remove the old pin and install the new pin through the aligned hinge holes; ensure it is fully seated
• Test door movement and latching before reassembling and restoring power

This idler spring provides tension for the dryer belt so the drum turns smoothly and evenly. Replacing a worn spring restores proper belt tracking and reduces slipping or noisy operation. What it does:

• Maintains proper tension on the dryer drive belt so the drum rotates correctly
• Keeps the belt aligned on the idler/tensioner pulley and motor pulley
• Prevents belt slippage that can cause the drum to stop or turn intermittently
• Helps reduce squealing, grinding, or rubbing noises from the drive assembly

• Disconnect power to the dryer (unplug or shut off circuit) before starting work.
• Access usually requires removing the dryer front or top panel—refer to your model's service instructions.
• Inspect the belt and idler pulley for wear and replace if damaged while the unit is open.
• Use care when releasing or installing the spring—it is under tension; wear eye protection and gloves.
