General Electric Dryer DPSB620EC0CC Noisy

The Rear Drum Bearing Kit is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. It is a comprehensive kit that includes both rear drum bearings and necessary mounting hardware. These bearings play a vital role in smoothly rotating the dryer drum during cycles, reducing vibrations and noise.  

Symptoms of bad bearings include:

• Excessive shaking or vibrating during cycles
• Loud grinding or scraping noises emanating from the rear drum area   
• Difficulty turning or rotating the dryer drum by hand
• Increased wear and early failure of other components 

Causes of bad bearings can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive loads or unbalanced loads that strained the bearings, or damage from extended use without proper lubrication.

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

The Idler Pulley is an OEM part for GE dryers. This critical component helps to maintain the correct tension on the dryer's drive belt, ensuring smooth operation and preventing it from slipping. 

Symptoms of a bad Idler Pulley include:

• Squeaking or screeching noises during dryer operation, often a sign of bearing wear or failure.
• The dryer drum not turning smoothly, or at all, indicating that the belt may be slipping or has come off entirely due to a failed pulley.
• Excessive heat or a burning smell, which can occur if the pulley is seizing up and causing friction.
• Visible wear or damage to the pulley itself.

Causes of a bad idler pulley can include worn bearings, accumulation of lint and debris that impedes rotation, or material fatigue after prolonged use.

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

The Rear Drum Bearing Sleeve is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is designed to support the rear of the dryer drum, ensuring smooth rotation during the drying cycle. This sleeve reduces friction between the drum and the bearing, contributing to efficient and quiet operation of the dryer. This is the dryer rear drum bearing sleeve only. For the rear drum bearing kit order WE25M40.

You should replace the rear drum bearing sleeve if it becomes worn out or damaged. Causes of a bad bearing sleeve can include regular wear and tear, lack of lubrication, or excessive loads that cause undue stress on the component. A malfunctioning bearing sleeve can lead to increased friction, noise, and potential damage to other parts of the dryer.

Symptoms of a bad rear drum bearing sleeve include:

• Squeaking, grinding, or rumbling noises during the drying cycle
• The dryer drum not rotating smoothly or being off-balance
• Increased drying times due to inefficient drum movement
• Visible wear or damage to the sleeve

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

The Dryer Lint Filter Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. It serves as a crucial barrier, preventing lint and other debris from accumulating in the dryer's internal components and exhaust system. This filter helps ensure proper airflow and drying efficiency while reducing potential fire hazards caused by lint buildup.

Symptoms of a bad dryer lint filter assembly include:

• Longer drying times due to restricted airflow
• Excessive lint buildup on clothing or in the dryer drum
• Overheating or hot spots within the dryer
• Visible signs of damage or wear on the lint filter housing or mesh

Causes of a bad lint filter can include excessive lint buildup, physical damage to the filter mesh or housing, or improper installation. A clogged or damaged lint filter can lead to decreased drying efficiency, increased energy consumption, and potential fire hazards.

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

The O Ring is an OEM part for GE dryers, creating a tight seal in different components for efficient operation. This small part prevents air leaks that can impact drying performance, made from quality materials to withstand high temperatures and frequent use

Causes of a faulty O Ring in a dryer may stem from heat exposure, regular wear and tear, or chemical damage. This can result in reduced elasticity, cracks, or breaks, impacting the seal.

Symptoms of a bad O Ring in your dryer include:

• Reduced efficiency in drying, as air leaks can affect the dryer's ability to maintain the correct temperature.
• Unusual noises stemming from air escaping through the compromised seal.
• Potential for small leaks or condensation within the dryer's internal components, leading to moisture issues.

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

The Blower Wheel is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. It has a role in the air circulation within the dryer, aiding in the even and efficient drying of clothes. The blower wheel, connected to the motor, helps in expelling the moist air out of the dryer through the exhaust vent during the drying cycle.

Causes of a malfunctioning blower wheel are typically wear and tear from regular use, the accumulation of lint or debris, or damage to the wheel’s fins or central hub, which can impact its rotation and air circulation capability.

Symptoms of a bad Blower Wheel include:

• Unusual noises during operation
• Extended drying times
• The dryer overheating
• Reduced air circulation

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

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

The Bearing Retainer is an OEM replacement part for GE electric dryers. It is an internal component that securely holds the drum bearing assembly in place to enable smooth rotation and provides structural bracing for the bearing during tumbling cycles.

Causes of a faulty retainer can include cracks from heat exposure over years of use. Impact damage from foreign objects inside the drum is also possible. 

Symptoms of a bad bearing retainer include:

• Excessive vibration or noise during drying cycles  
• Wobbling or misalignment of the rotating drum
• Premature failure of other moving parts due to lost structural support

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

This idler arm, also called a belt tensioner arm, supports the idler pulley that keeps the dryer's drive belt tight so the drum rotates smoothly. Replacing a worn arm helps eliminate noise and belt tracking issues.

• Maintains proper belt tension by positioning the idler pulley against the drive belt
• Helps prevent belt slippage, squealing, and premature belt wear
• Supports smooth, consistent drum rotation during cycles
• Typical failure symptoms include squeaking/chirping, burning rubber smell, belt coming off, or the drum not turning

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the idler assembly by removing the front or lower access panel
• Release belt tension and note the belt routing; reinstall pulley and spring as removed, then re-tension the belt
• Manually rotate the drum to verify belt tracking before reassembly and testing
