Changed ignitor. Ordered new ignitor by just putting dryer model number in the search box. When I opened the dryer up and took the old one out I was originally upset. The meter read 73 ohms. I was expecting OL (open line). The new one read 273 ohms so I put it in. Dryer works now. The install video’s are old. It was much easier than the video’s showed. Opening the control panel was a little trickier than the video. You do NOT need to take screws off the back of the dryer. There are 2 screws... Read more

I checked out a few youtube videos on trouble shooting a gas dryer that would not heat, like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8j6fQM3P34. Eliminated all the sensors as possible problems, leaving only the coils or more advanced problems. Took the chance it was one of the coils. I ordered both, replaced them both, put the dryer back together and fortunately that was the problem and it lit up and is running as good as new. Read more

My GE dryer from the late 80's/early 90's was squealing when it would start up, belt or bearing I was thinking. I found a manual online that covered my model and I watched a video on this site that showed me how to take it all apart, mine was a bit different but the principles were the same. I took it apart and added some quick-disconnects to 2 wires so next time I can take the front panel off easily. When I got to the bearing it looked worn but not bad so I cleaned it and put it back. ... Read more
The Heating Element Assembly is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is responsible for generating the heat necessary to dry clothes during the drying cycle.

I replaced the heating element supplied by AppliancePartsPros.com. It took me longer than the estimated 30 minutes to an hour cited in the good instructional video. A few things took more time than I had expected: 1. Removing the top of the dryer unit resulted in my breaking off the three plastic tabs that is used to anchor the top to the structure below. In putting it back together, I didn't need those three tabs as the side plastic structure on each side will secure the top to the... Read more
The Lint Filter is an OEM part for GE dryers. This filter captures lint and debris from the laundry load, preventing it from clogging the dryer vent and ensuring efficient airflow.

Symptoms of a bad bearing retainer include:
A few months back I changed out the "Bearing Slides" on the front side of the drum thinking that would stop the annoying squeaking every time we use the dryer. They were very worn and one was missing. But to my dismay it only lessened it by about 10%. After doing a bit more research I discovered the "Rear Shaft Bracket Assembly" also needed replacement. The tip was worn way down and clearly the source of the noise. It was actually a very simple repair except for the fact that the key to the... Read more

The Front Drum Support Bearing Glide is an OEM part for GE dryers. Each dryer utilizes three of these parts, and they should be replaced as a set for optimal performance. This drum glide is 2-5/8 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. They provide smooth rotation for the dryer drum by supporting its front as it turns.
Causes of a bad front drum support bearing glide can include normal wear and tear over time, excessive load weights, or debris accumulation that can cause friction and damage. When the glide wears out, it can lead to increased noise levels and potential damage to other dryer components.
Symptoms of a bad front drum support bearing glide may include:
After taking off the top and front panels to access the drum, it was easy to see what the problem was. The front drum support was worn through and the 3 drum support glides were gone. The rear drum bearing was also completely worn out. And while I had the dryer apart I also replaced the idler pulley and drive belt. The only hard part was putting the drive belt back on the motor shaft and idler pulley. The dryer is back to drying clothes like a new machine. Read more

The Button is an OEM component for GE top-load washers. Located on the control panel, this button actuates a specific function such as starting or pausing the cycle. Designed for durability, the textured plastic construction withstands millions of presses over decades of use.
Symptoms of a bad button include:
Causes may consist of cracked circuitry behind the panel from water intrusion or repeated impact. General wear reducing button sensitivity also occurs.
This GE button restores full operation for select models including those by Hotpoint, RCA, and compatible Kenmore lines.
All I had to do was remove 3, 1/4" screws from the back and take the front off. Two 5/16th screws hold the circuit board in place, remove them and press the button into the hole from the back. Replace the circuit board, slide the front back on and install the three 1/4" screws. Always unplug the washer first! Read more
