Parts for Hot Point DLP1050PAT: Other Parts

This dryer motor kit powers the drum and blower. Replacing a weak or failed motor restores proper tumbling and airflow so the dryer starts reliably and dries loads more evenly.

• Drives the drum via the belt and turns the blower wheel for airflow
• Helps resolve: dryer hums but won't start, drum won't turn, or stops mid-cycle
• Can reduce loud buzzing/grinding noises from the motor area
• Restores consistent operation when the motor overheats and trips its protector

• Disconnect power; turn off gas supply to gas dryers before servicing
• Remove panels to access the drive system; release belt tension and remove the drum as needed
• The blower wheel threads onto the motor shaft—support it carefully; many GE dryers use a reverse (left-hand) thread
• Transfer wiring and any reusable hardware to the new motor; test before reassembly

This idler pulley keeps tension on the dryer drum belt so the motor can spin the drum smoothly. Replacing a worn pulley can quiet squealing and restore consistent tumbling.

• Maintains proper belt tension so the drum turns under load
• Free-spinning pulley reduces friction and belt wear
• Common symptoms of failure: squealing/chirping noises, drum won't turn, belt slipping or fraying, burning rubber smell
• Helps prevent the belt from jumping off the motor or drum

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, shut off the gas supply
• Access typically requires removing the top/front panel and releasing belt tension to remove the drum
• Transfer any spacers/retainer from the old pulley to the new one; the pulley spins freely before reassembly
• Route the belt per the model's diagram and check belt alignment/tension before test run
