Ignitor coil was not turning on Harrison N. • El Cajon , CA • March 14, 2021
I realized my load of laundry was still wet after a normal drying cycle. My first action was to turn the dryer on (2010 gas Maytag centennial) and open the front port to look at the ignitor coil. It never turned orange so I knew there must be a problem with the primary circuit. I shut off the dryer, disconnected the power, pulled it away from the wall, shutoff the gas, and removed the back panel. I then disconnected the wires for the thermal fuse and checked its resistance with a multimeter....

The Dryer Front Bearing Drum Slide (White, 2-Pack) is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. These slides are located on the front panel of the dryer and work to support the drum as it rotates. The white slides are designed to reduce friction between the drum and the panel, ensuring smooth operation and helping to prolong the life of the appliance.
Over time, these slides can wear out due to constant movement, heat, and friction. When worn or damaged, the drum may not rotate as intended, leading to noise and reduced efficiency.
Symptoms of bad dryer front bearing drum slides include:
- Squeaking or grinding noises during operation
- The drum appearing loose or sagging at the front
- Clothes not drying evenly or taking longer to dry
- Visible wear or thinning on the existing drum slides
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Dryer began to take much longer to dry clothing what once took 30 minutes now took 2 hours Steven M. • Monett , MO • July 10, 2015
We cleaned out all ducts carefully and did other basic troubleshooting but it did not help.
Began to research the problem on-line and discovered that this dryer has two heating elements. One can fail while the other continues to provide heat - but with a large impact on drying time.
Watched youtube videos and how to take apart the dryer to reach the heating coils.
Tested the heating elements for continuity with tester and the outer loop had no continuity indicating it was broken somewhere. ...

Symptoms of a bad Felt Drum Seal include:
- Clothes taking longer to dry
- Unusual noises or increased vibration during operation
- A visible gap between the drum and the dryer body
- Excessive lint buildup inside the dryer beyond the lint trap
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Lower Drum Felt seal is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. The Lower drum felt seal is responsible for creating a seal between the drum and the front panel of the dryer.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
- Air leaking from the dryer drum
- Reduced dryer efficiency and increased energy costs
- Clothes becoming caught in the gap between the drum and front panel
- Potential damage or snags to clothes or the dryer
Causes of a bad Lower Drum Felt Seal can range from normal wear and tear, which degrades the felt material over time, to excessive load sizes that strain the drum and seal. Additionally, over time, the seal can become compressed or damaged, leading to a less effective seal and the potential for heat loss and inefficiency in the drying process.
This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.

Loud squeaking noise from front top area of ge dryer as drum turned Christopher S. • Closter , NJ • July 12, 2016
Found the entire top bearing support plastic piece was completely worn through, the bearing slides had all disappeared some time ago. So it was obviously the problem. The felt trap duct (which is actually a drum seal along bottom front of drum so I don't know why they call it felt trap duct) had also disappeared, so a lot of lint was getting inside the front panel too. It's a very easy repair to change the bearing support; everything just pops out just like the video shows. Make sure you...
