This motor support is the stamped metal bracket that secures the dryer motor and blower assembly, keeping components aligned for smooth operation. It restores proper motor mounting and reduces noise from loose or misaligned parts. What it does:

• Holds the dryer motor and blower housing in the correct position to prevent wobble or misalignment
• Helps maintain proper blower alignment for effective air movement
• Supports safe, reliable motor operation when the original bracket is bent, cracked, or worn

• Disconnect power (unplug electric or shut off gas and breaker) before beginning repair
• Access requires opening the dryer cabinet and removing the drum and/or front panel on many models
• Inspect related components (motor mounts, blower wheel, idler, belt) and replace if damaged

This ground screw secures the appliance chassis ground connection to the cabinet, restoring a reliable earth path for safe operation and reducing risk of electrical faults. Simple replacement keeps electrical components properly grounded. What it does

• Secures the ground wire or grounding strap to the appliance chassis to maintain a safe earth connection.
• Restores proper grounding when the original screw is missing, loose, or corroded.
• Helps prevent intermittent power/grounding issues and reduces risk of electrical arcing at the chassis connection.
• Works wherever a dedicated grounding point is required on the cabinet or frame.

• Single ground screw

• Always disconnect power (unplug or switch off circuit breaker) before servicing electrical connections.
• Verify chassis is de-energized and wear appropriate PPE when working on electrical parts.
• Use the correct driver bit and size to avoid stripping the screw; tighten securely but avoid over-torquing.
• Replace corroded grounding hardware and ensure the ground wire/strap has clean metal-to-metal contact.

This combustion chamber is the metal housing that surrounds and directs the gas burner flame in a gas dryer, protecting surrounding components and guiding combustion for reliable heating performance. What it does

• Houses and aligns the burner assembly and igniter to ensure proper flame direction
• Channels exhaust and combustion flow away from sensitive parts
• Helps prevent heat damage to the dryer cabinet and nearby components
• Symptoms this can fix: poor or uneven heating, burner flame misalignment, or burner noise from loose housing

• One combustion chamber housing

• Turn off and unplug the dryer and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Inspect and replace any damaged gaskets or mounting hardware for a proper seal
• Use basic hand tools; avoid bending or deforming the chamber during installation

The Flame Sensor is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part detects the presence of a flame in gas dryers, ensuring that the gas ignites properly for safe and efficient drying.

Causes of a bad flame sensor can include regular wear and tear, carbon buildup from the gas flame, or electrical malfunctions.

Symptoms of a bad flame sensor include:

• The dryer not heating or taking longer to dry clothes
• The dryer shutting off unexpectedly during a cycle
• The igniter glowing but not igniting the gas
• Error codes related to heating or ignition issues

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

This exhaust duct routes hot, moist air from the appliance to the home vent, helping maintain proper airflow and reduce lint buildup. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to restore correct venting and appliance performance. What it does:

• Channels exhaust air from the appliance to the external vent.
• Helps prevent reduced airflow that can lengthen cycle times or reduce drying/heating performance.
• Reduces lint accumulation in the appliance exhaust path when intact and properly connected.
• Replaces damaged, crushed or disconnected ducting that can cause air leakage or poor venting.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (and shut off gas supply for gas models) before starting.
• Use gloves to avoid sharp edges; secure connections with the original clamps or equivalent fasteners.

This motor strap secures the appliance motor to the cabinet, keeping the motor stable during operation to reduce vibration and noise. Use this replacement to restore proper motor positioning and support in compatible models. What it does:

• Holds the motor firmly in place to prevent movement or shifting during use
• Helps reduce vibration and associated noise caused by a loose motor
• Maintains correct motor alignment so belts and linkages run smoothly
• Commonly used when a worn or broken strap allows motor sag or misalignment

• One motor mounting/retaining strap

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Inspect mounting points and fasteners; replace any damaged hardware as needed
• Secure strap to the motor and cabinet using the original mounting holes and recommended hardware

This orifice meters gas flow to a single burner, restoring proper flame size and stable heating for gas ranges and ovens. Replacing a damaged or clogged orifice helps improve ignition and consistent burner performance. What it does:

• Controls the amount of gas delivered to the burner for correct flame height and heat output
• Helps resolve weak or low flames and uneven heating when the orifice is clogged or worn
• Supports reliable ignition by maintaining proper gas flow to the burner
• Works as the precise gas port that matches the cooktop/oven's burner assembly

• Turn off the appliance and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Use appropriate tools to remove burner components; take care not to damage threads or fittings
• After installation, check all connections for leaks with a soap solution or approved leak detector

This is a genuine GE replacement screw used to secure appliance panels and components, restoring proper fit and reducing vibration or rattling. A simple fastener that helps keep assemblies aligned and functioning safely. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, and small components in place
• Prevents noise from loose parts and maintains structural alignment
• Restores proper fastening after repairs or wear
• Matches OEM fit for reliable replacement

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing internal parts
• Use the correct screwdriver or driver bit to avoid stripping the head
• Thread carefully and tighten until snug; do not overtighten to prevent damage
• Replace any damaged or missing fasteners with the same OEM part for best results
