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

This 240V heater assembly replaces the electric heating element module in your dryer, restoring proper heat to the airflow. Replacing a failed element helps address no-heat complaints and improves overall drying performance. What it does:

• Generates heat by energizing the element at 240 volts to warm air moving through the drum
• Restores heat when the original element is open or shorted to the housing
• Helps with: drum runs but no heat, long dry times, cool exhaust air
• Element should show continuity across its terminals and no continuity to chassis when tested

• 1 heater assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow the unit to cool
• Access the heater housing from the rear or front, depending on model; photograph wiring for reference
• Move wires one at a time; reuse mounting screws; transfer any thermostats mounted on the old housing if present
• After reassembly, ensure the exhaust vent is clear to prevent overheating and repeat failures

This reversible door plug fills the unused mounting hole when you switch the door swing on your refrigerator. It restores a finished appearance and helps keep air and moisture from entering through the opening.

• Covers the unused door hole created during a door swing reversal
• Helps maintain proper sealing and resists drafts/condensation at the opening
• Restores a clean, finished, factory look to the door
• Common symptoms: missing or cracked plug, exposed hole, cosmetic gap on door edge

• Disconnect power before servicing any door components
• Gently pry out the old plug with a plastic trim tool to avoid scratches
• Align the new plug with the opening and press until fully seated and flush
• Verify the door closes properly and the gasket seals evenly

This safety thermostat is a temperature-sensitive switch for dryers. It monitors internal heat and opens the circuit if temperatures climb too high, helping prevent overheating. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper heat control and safe operation.

• Monitors dryer temperature and cuts power to the heater if the limit is exceeded
• Helps protect against overheating and heat-related shutdowns
• Common symptoms of a failed or tripped thermostat: no heat or intermittent heat, dryer running too hot, or cycles ending early due to overheating
• Overheating or repeated trips often indicate restricted airflow—inspect venting and lint paths

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the thermostat location per your model's service information
• Note wire positions and transfer them one at a time; mount the thermostat flush to its mating surface
• After installation, clear lint and verify proper airflow through the exhaust and vent

This replacement hinge supports and pivots the appliance door so it opens and closes smoothly and stays aligned. A worn or bent hinge can lead to door sagging, scraping, or poor latching that impacts performance and safety. What it does

• Supports the door and provides the pivot point for opening/closing
• Maintains door alignment to help ensure a proper seal
• Restores smooth, consistent door motion
• Common symptoms: door sags, squeaks, scrapes, or won't latch/stay closed

• 1 hinge

• Disconnect power before servicing; for gas units, also shut off gas supply
• Support the door while removing/installing fasteners to prevent stress on the panel
• Reuse original mounting screws/hardware unless damaged
• After installation, adjust if needed

Adjustable

Package of 12

This replacement motor strap secures the dryer's drive motor to its mounting bracket so the motor and blower stay aligned and stable, helping reduce vibration and noise for smoother operation. What it does:

• Holds the drive motor firmly to the base/bracket
• Maintains proper alignment of the motor and blower wheel to prevent rubbing
• Helps reduce vibration, rattling, and related noise
• Typical signs of failure: increased vibration, rattling, scraping from the blower area, or a motor that feels loose inside the cabinet

• Includes 1 motor strap

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off gas supply
• Access the motor assembly; note the strap's routing/orientation before removal
• Support the motor while releasing the strap to avoid stressing wiring and mounts
• After securing the strap, rotate the drum/blower by hand to verify free movement before reassembly

Size: 8-32 t. Includes 12 screws.

Size: 8 - 18 ab.

This motor drive pulley guides the dryer drive belt and helps transfer motor power to the drum for proper rotation. Replacing a worn or damaged pulley restores smooth drum movement and reduces noise. What it does:

• Guides and supports the drive belt so the drum turns evenly
• Maintains belt alignment to prevent slipping or excessive wear
• Reduces squealing or grinding caused by a damaged pulley bearing
• Helps restore normal tumbling when the drum drags or hesitates

• One motor drive pulley

• Disconnect power to the appliance before any service; follow lockout/tagout best practices
• Inspect the drive belt and bearings while replacing the pulley; replace worn belt or bearings as needed
• Typical service requires basic hand tools and access to the dryer cabinet or motor housing

Size: 8-18 b.

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
