White plastic door handle for dryer doors. Snaps into place on the front panel. Replace your cracked, broken, or missing handle for easier door operation.
My husband found the exact handle we needed to replace the one on our dryer at AppliancePartsPros.com and we ordered it. When it came, we replaced it. I know this sounds like a simple story, but honestly, it's much more. For weeks, this broken dryer handle was driving me crazy. Finally, my husband realized that AppliancePartsPros would likely have the part--and they did. We ordered the part on a weekend and got it on Monday. I couldn't believe it. We think this place is awesome. In the... Read more

Dryer door pops open during cycle or won't stay closed? Replace the door latch. This part secures the door to the cabinet. Easy 5-minute DIY fix.
We ordered a door switch, dryer latch and strike plate. We realized that we only needed to replace the door switch. We watched a few videos and then replaced the switch. We couldn’t find a video for our model but they did give us a pretty good idea about what we needed to do. The hardest part was getting the original door switch out, all of the videos we watched showed us that it would pop out with a little pressure from a flat head screw driver, from the front of the switch. We could not get... Read more

The Igniter is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is designed to ignite the gas burner to produce heat, which is essential for drying clothes. The igniter ensures that the gas is lit efficiently and safely, enabling the dryer to reach and maintain the proper temperature for effective drying.
You should replace the igniter if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad igniter can include electrical failures, cracks or breaks in the igniter material, or wear and tear from regular use. These issues can prevent the igniter from generating the necessary heat to ignite the gas.
Symptoms of a bad igniter include:
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
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
Idler pulley for dryer drum assembly. Maintains belt tension to enable smooth drum rotation. Replace if worn, cracked, or causing noise during operation.
The Dryer is 10 years old GE Front Load DPVH890JEMG. The drum would intermittently not rotate at the beginning of a cycle and occasionally would rotate but then start and stop throughout the cycle. I did not check error codes, but the windings on the motor were black. So it seemed reasonable that the motor was overheating and sending a signal to the control board to stop. There is one screw under the knob and 9 screws on the front to get inside. I decided to replace the bearings, capacitor,... Read more

Note: For restring coil only use WE11X10007
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

Symptoms of a bad dual coil may include:
This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
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
The Door Latch is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part ensures the dryer door stays securely closed during operation, activating the safety switch to allow the dryer to operate. The latch mechanism engages with the door strike to lock the door, preventing it from opening while the dryer is running, which is essential for both safety and proper functioning of the appliance.
Causes for replacement can include normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or a misalignment that prevents the door from securely latching.
Symptoms of a bad Door Latch include:
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
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
