This door strike attaches to the dryer door and engages the cabinet catch and door switch so the door latches securely and the dryer can run. Replace a worn or broken strike to restore reliable door closure.

• Mounts on the dryer door; provides the latch post that inserts into the cabinet catch
• Activates the door switch when closed to allow the cycle to start
• Common symptoms: door won't latch or pops open during use
• Dryer won't start unless the door is held shut; visible cracks or a missing strike

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Open the door and remove the existing strike from its mounting location
• Position the new strike in the same orientation and secure it as originally installed
• Close the door and test operation

This idler spring secures and tensions the dryer drum/idler assembly to maintain proper belt alignment and drum rotation. Replacing a worn or broken idler spring restores correct tension for smooth, consistent drying performance. What it does:

• Applies tension to the idler pulley to keep the drive belt tight and aligned.
• Helps prevent the belt from slipping, dragging, or coming off the drum.
• Reduces unusual squeaks, rubbing noises, and irregular drum movement caused by a failed spring.
• Works as part of the idler/drive assembly that ensures even drum rotation.

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Inspect the idler pulley, belt, and mounting hardware while replacing the spring; replace any visibly damaged parts.
• Use caution when releasing or installing tensioned components to avoid pinch injuries.

This spring filter cover replaces the worn or broken cover that secures the filter spring and housing, helping ensure the filter stays seated and the dispenser/filtration system operates reliably. Simple replacement restores proper filter retention. What it does:

• Secures the filter spring and holds the filter assembly in place
• Prevents the filter from shifting or dislodging during use
• Helps maintain proper water flow through the filter housing
• Commonly replaces cracked, warped, or missing covers that cause leaks or poor filter fit

• Designed for direct replacement; remove water filter and disconnect power or water supply per your model before starting
• Inspect the spring and housing for damage; replace any worn components to ensure proper function
• Hand-tighten only—avoid overtightening plastic parts to prevent cracking

This bracket gasket felt is a thin felt cushioning strip that mounts to a bracket or cabinet to reduce metal-on-metal contact and quiet vibration. It helps protect finishes and prevents rattles where parts meet. What it does

• Cushions contact between a bracket and cabinet or other metal parts to reduce noise and wear
• Helps prevent scratching and scuffing on mating surfaces
• Reduces vibration-driven rattles around the bracket area
• Simple, passive part with no electrical function

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work when applicable.
• Remove the bracket or access panel to expose the mounting area; replace the old felt with the new strip in the same position.
• Press the felt into place; secure using the original fasteners or adhesive method used by the manufacturer.
• Wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges.

The EXHAUST DUCT ASSEMBLY is an OEM part for GE dryers. It incorporates both the exhaust duct that routes hot air out of the dryer and the duct housing shielding internal dryer components. This assembly works to expel moist air produced during cycles while simultaneously protecting internal wiring and other sensitive parts. 

Causes of a bad exhaust duct assembly include cracks or breaks in the rigid ducting material. Accumulations of lint buildup within the duct can also occur over many years of drying clothes.

Symptoms of a bad exhaust duct assembly include:

• Excessively long drying times as air escapes before exiting 
• Hot air blowing into areas it shouldn't within the dryer 
• Noise or vibration changes when the dryer is running
• Possible melting or damage to wiring or nearby dryer materials

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

The BLOWER WHEEL ASSEMBLY is an OEM part for GE electric dryers. It contains both the blower wheel and blower motor housing. This assembly powers the rotation of the blower wheel to generate crucial airflow through the dryer. During cycles, it circulates heated air to enhance drying performance.

Symptoms of a bad blower wheel assembly include:

• Dryer not drying clothing properly, cycles taking excessively long  
• Absence of any air blowing through the dryer ducting
• Loud buzzing or grinding noises from the blower motor area
• Significant accumulation of lint in the exhaust duct or around duct openings

Causes of failure can be a worn or damaged blower wheel, broken motor windings, or blocked air passages within the housing over multiple years of use. 

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

This replacement dryer drum assembly restores the rotating drum that tumbles and carries clothes through the drying cycle, helping reduce fabric contact with the heater and enabling normal load agitation and airflow. What it does:

• Replaces the rotating drum that carries and tumbles laundry during the dry cycle.
• Restores smooth, balanced rotation to address noisy, grinding, or scraping drum movement.
• Helps eliminate rubbing or fabric damage caused by a cracked, dented, or warped drum.
• Can resolve symptoms like clothes not tumbling, loud metal-on-metal noise, or visible drum damage.

• One complete drum assembly (1 drum).

• Disconnect electrical power before beginning any repair; for gas dryers also shut off the gas supply.
• Handle the drum carefully to avoid scratching the finish or damaging sealing edges; some models require removing the front panel and belt.
• Keep fasteners and any removed parts organized for reassembly; check belt and rollers while servicing the drum.
