Ge WE1M825 Lint Screen Housing Seal OEM Part

Upon examination of the dryer, I noticed that the belt was intact, though a little worn and hard. However, I noticed that the belt had came of the idler pulley. So I put it back on and had the owners try it out on their next load of wash. It, once again failed to keep the drum turning. So I ordered a new belt and idler pulley (order # 8676164). I found it necessary to remove the drum, in order to change out the new pulley. However, while trying to reinstall the drum, we damaged some of the insulator mounting plates, which were very brittle, which caused the heater element coils to rub against the drum. I then ordered a heater element kit, 2 bearing slides , dryer drum front support bearing, and lint screen housing seal, and a screw ( order # 8707123). The repair was divided into two different sessions. One to unhook, and remove the heater element assembly, and remove the old heat coils. During that time, we changed out the dryer drum front support bearing, and installed 2 of the 4 needed bearing slides. I realized that there were two more of the bearing slides needed which had a different part number. I strongly feel that the four bearing slides should be included and already installed on the drum front bearing support. Now for the installation of the heat elements and insulators. I was glad that I still had enough serviceable existing insulator mounting plates to go with the new ones included in the element kit, as the kit does not include the full amount needed to replace all of them. It took me a good hour to install the plates, and string the heat element coils, and another 45 minutes to an hour to reassemble the dryer. In hind sight, I feel it would be well worth it, to spend the extra $70.00 to purchase a fully assembled heater element assembly. It will cut the repair time in half, and remove a lot of margin for error, during the installation of the heat element coils onto the element mounting plate. However, at this writing, the repair was a success. The dryer is once again in operation, alleviating the need for a clothesline. I did have to order 2 more bearing slides to complete the amount needed on the drum front support bearing.

Replaced air duct assembly, drum support, bearing slides, felt & seal.

Replaced the top bearing and slides. Delivered to my house in 2 days and was delivered on a Saturday with no extra charges. Very good value. Saved half what would cost locally at parts store. The video made the project pretty easy. Very satisfied overall.

My dryer was making a very loud noise while running. At first, a repair person came out and replaced the front plastic bearings but it had little effect. It appears that our rear bearing drum kit was also worn out, so I replaced that, but it still didn't solve it. Starting to feel like the dad from "A Christmas Story" who is always doing battle with an appliance in the basement, I set out to figure out what was causing it. Through trial and error, I was able to determine that the motor was going bad. Lubricant failed to fix the problem, so I ordered a new one here. With the helpful video posted here, I was able to turn this simple repair into a good father-daughter bonding time and taught my 11-year-old how to replace the motor (only doing some of trickier parts for her). Our dryer hasn't been this quiet since it was brand new, and I'm pretty sure we just reset the effective life on it from 10 years old down to 1 year old with the parts we replaced. The prices on Appliance Parts Pro are very competitive, and while you may be able to find slightly cheaper OEM parts elsewhere, I'm always ordering my parts here because they have great shipping, great service, and are committed to helping you get your repair done properly. Other sellers will take your money and leave you hanging.

My son fixed it by taking it all apart and ordering the parts that were needed. When they came he put it back together very quickly and it works perfect. Thank goodness I have a smart handy son.
