The Rotary Start Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. It is silver and black in color, with a white D-shaped shaft. The rotary start switch is found inside the dryer control panel, and when actuated, it starts the dryer.

Causes of a bad start switch include prolonged use resulting in normal wear and tear, internal component failure, or accidental external damage.

Symptoms of a bad start switch are:

• The dryer failing to start or operate as selected
• Intermittent or inconsistent operation

This is a genuine OEM part that works for some models of GE, and Hotpoint 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

• 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

This is a small screw, and it is made for dryers, washers, and washer dryer combos. This is a genuine replacement part made by General Electric. Screws are common in these appliances and can cause many difficulties if they become loose, damaged, or missing.A new screw might be needed if there are areas in the appliance that seem off balance or not level. Another way to tell if a new screw is needed is if there are parts in the appliance that are loose or falling off. This is common over many years of normal use as the shaking of washers and dryers can eventually lead to loose screws. Be sure the washer or dryer is completely off before attempting to replace any screws.This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually and is compatible with washers, dryers, and washer dryer combos made by General Electric.
