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. 

Note: 10-watt bulb

The Lamp is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part illuminates the dryer's drum interior, enhancing visibility for loading and unloading garments. It ensures that users can easily see their clothes and any items inside the drum, particularly useful in low-light conditions. 

Replacing a non-functional dryer lamp is important for maintaining the functionality and convenience of your GE dryer, ensuring you can effectively manage your laundry. 

Symptoms of a malfunctioning dryer lamp include:

• A lack of light inside the drum when the dryer door is opened or during operation
• Flickering or intermittent light indicating a loose connection or nearing the end of the lamp's lifespan
• Complete failure to illuminate, which could stem from a burnt-out bulb or electrical issues within the dryer

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Door Strike is an OEM part for GE dryers. This component is crucial for ensuring that the dryer door latches properly when closed. It interacts with the door catch mechanism to secure the door during operation, preventing it from opening unexpectedly, which ensures the dryer operates safely and efficiently.

Symptoms of a failing Door Strike include:

• The dryer door not staying closed during a cycle
• Difficulty in closing the dryer door or getting it to latch properly
• The dryer not starting because the door switch is not engaged
• Visible damage or wear on the door strike

Causes of a bad door strike can include wear and tear from regular use, physical damage from slamming the door or mishandling, and misalignment caused by repeated opening and closing.

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

Note: If the door catch is also needed, use part number WE1M1011.

The Door Latch is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part ensures the dryer door stays securely closed during operation, activating the safety switch to allow the dryer to operate. The latch mechanism engages with the door strike to lock the door, preventing it from opening while the dryer is running, which is essential for both safety and proper functioning of the appliance. 

Causes for replacement can include normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or a misalignment that prevents the door from securely latching. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Latch include:

• The dryer door doesn't stay closed during cycles.
• Difficulty in starting the dryer due to the door not activating the safety switch.
• Visible wear or damage to the latch mechanism.

This OEM GE 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.

The Power Terminal Block is an OEM part for GE dryers. This component serves as the connection point for the dryer's power cord, distributing electrical power to the various internal components of the dryer. It ensures that the dryer receives the proper electrical supply needed for its operation.

Causes of a bad power terminal block can include electrical overloads, corrosion from moisture exposure, and loose or frayed wiring connections. These issues can lead to improper power distribution or complete loss of power to the dryer.

Symptoms of a bad power terminal block include:

• The dryer not starting or losing power during a cycle
• Intermittent electrical issues or power surges
• Visible signs of damage such as burn marks or melted plastic
• Electrical arcing or sparking from the terminal block area

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