This plug is an electrical wire connector that restores a secure, insulated connection between appliance wiring and components. It helps prevent intermittent power loss and reduces the risk of shorts from damaged or loose wiring. What it does:

• Provides a secure mating point for a component or harness to carry electrical power
• Insulates and protects exposed terminals from contact and shorting
• Replaces cracked, melted, or loose connector housings that cause intermittent operation
• Commonly used when a control, sensor, or motor has lost power due to a failed connector

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or appliance plug before inspecting or replacing electrical connectors
• Match the connector shape and terminal count to the existing harness to ensure proper fit
• Inspect surrounding wiring and terminals for heat damage; replace any damaged wires or terminals to prevent recurrence

This dryer blower wheel mounts on the motor shaft to move air through the drum, lint filter, and exhaust duct, helping maintain proper airflow, even drying, and overall dryer performance.

• Moves air through the drum, lint screen, and duct to exhaust moisture and lint
• If the hub is stripped or the wheel is loose on the motor shaft, airflow drops and dry times increase
• Cracked, warped, or broken fins can cause rattling, scraping, or vibration during operation
• Common symptoms include weak air at the vent, longer cycles, or unusual noise from the lower/front cabinet area

• Disconnect power; if gas, also shut off the gas supply. Wear gloves—sheet-metal edges can be sharp
• Access the blower housing by removing the front/lower panel and blower cover as your model requires
• Note thread direction and any retaining nut/clip when removing; transfer any reusable hardware to the new wheel
• Clear lint and debris from the blower housing and ducts; ensure the new wheel spins freely without rubbing before reassembly

This thermostat control replaces the oven's temperature-regulating switch to help restore accurate bake and broil temperatures. It helps the oven reach and hold the set temperature for more consistent cooking results. What it does:

• Senses oven temperature and cycles the heating element or gas valve to maintain the selected temperature.
• Restores consistent bake and broil performance when the oven overheats, underheats, or cycles on and off erratically.
• Can resolve issues with uneven cooking, long preheat times, or temperature that doesn't match the setpoint.
• Interfaces with the oven control harness to manage temperature regulation during cooking cycles.

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker before starting any repair.
• Handle the control carefully to avoid damage to terminals and mounting hardware.
• Verify wire connections and routing before restoring power; secure mounting per the oven's service instructions.

This panel motor cradle is a molded mounting bracket that secures the panel motor assembly, keeping the motor properly positioned so the control panel or dispenser mechanism operates smoothly and quietly. What it does:

• Holds and stabilizes the panel motor to prevent misalignment or rubbing
• Maintains correct motor-to-gear engagement for reliable panel movement
• Reduces vibration and noise from a loose or damaged motor mount
• Helps prevent wear on motor shafts and surrounding components

• One panel motor cradle bracket

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service
• Requires basic hand tools; access may require removing the control panel or console
• Inspect adjacent parts (fasteners, motor, gears) and replace if worn

Keep your dryer drum turning smoothly. This idler & pulley assembly maintains proper tension on the drive belt so the drum rotates quietly and efficiently when the original idler or pulley becomes worn, noisy, or seized. What it does:

• Applies spring-loaded tension to the drive belt for consistent drum rotation
• Provides a smooth rolling surface to minimize belt friction and wear
• Worn/failed parts may cause squealing or chirping, the drum not turning, the belt slipping off or breaking, or a hot rubber smell

• One idler and pulley assembly

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the belt path by removing the necessary panels per your service information
• Pull the idler to release belt tension, remove the old assembly, install the new one, and route the belt correctly around the motor and idler
• Manually rotate the drum to verify belt tracking before reassembly and test run

The Dryer Belt is an OEM part for GE dryers. This belt wraps around the drum, motor pulley, and tension pulley, enabling the drum to spin during the drying cycle. It plays a crucial role in the mechanical operation of the dryer.

Common causes of a bad dryer belt include normal wear and tear from repeated use, overloading the dryer, or damage from obstructions inside the drum.

Symptoms of a bad dryer belt include:

• The drum not turning when the dryer is running
• A burning smell during operation
• Unusual noises such as thumping or squeaking
•  The dryer stopping mid-cycle

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

A replacement pan head screw used to fasten appliance panels and components. Its standard #8 coarse thread and 3/8-inch length secure trim, brackets, and small assemblies for stable operation. What it does:

• Fastens panels, brackets, and small parts in household appliances
• Replaces stripped, rusted, or missing #8-18 pan head screws
• Restores secure mounting where vibration or wear caused looseness
• Works with sheet-metal or threaded inserts designed for #8-18 screws

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Use the correct #2 Phillips or compatible driver to avoid cam-out
• Thread in straight and tighten until snug; avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping
• Keep small screws away from children and dispose of old fasteners safely
