General Electric Dryer Bumper, Bushing, Grommet Parts

This panel locator secures and positions the control or trim panel so it stays aligned during normal use, preventing rattles and misalignment. It's a small replacement part that restores proper fit and finish to the panel assembly. What it does:

• Holds the control/trim panel in the correct position to prevent shifting or rattling
• Replaces a broken, cracked, or missing locator that causes an uneven or loose panel
• Helps maintain panel alignment for a clean appearance and proper function
• Used where a snap-in locator or mounting tab has worn or failed

• One panel locator as shown

• Basic hand tools may be required; remove power to the appliance before starting
• Inspect surrounding clips and mounting points; replace other damaged fasteners as needed
• Press or snap the locator into the panel slot until it seats securely; avoid excessive force

This bush bearing is a small replacement bushing that supports a rotating shaft and helps the appliance spin smoothly. Replacing a worn bushing restores quieter, steadier operation and prevents further wear to adjoining parts. What it does:

• Provides a low-friction surface for a rotating shaft to ride on
• Keeps the shaft centered to reduce vibration and wobbling during operation
• Reduces metal-on-metal wear between the shaft and housing
• Commonly replaced when you notice excessive noise, rough spinning, or vibration

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before beginning any repair.
• Access usually requires partial disassembly of the cabinet or drum assembly; follow OEM instructions.
• Inspect surrounding seals, shafts, and housings for wear and replace if damaged.

A small plastic spacer that positions and main control board away from the cabinet to prevent shorts and reduce vibration. Keeps the control board secure so electrical connections stay stable and components avoid contact with metal. What it does

• Separates and insulates the main control (MC) board from the chassis to prevent electrical shorts.
• Holds the control board at the correct height and alignment for connectors and mounting hardware.
• Dampens vibration and reduces board movement that can cause intermittent electrical issues.
• Common symptom: loose or sagging control board, board contacting metal, or intermittent control/module behavior.

• Always unplug the appliance or disconnect power before accessing the control board.
• Handle the control board by its edges and avoid touching components or connector pins.
• Remove existing spacer(s) and install the replacement in the same location and orientation; secure board with original fasteners.
• If the board shows damage or mounting hardware is missing, inspect further or replace damaged parts as needed.
