The Push to Start Button is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is the button that initiates the drying cycle when pressed, allowing the dryer to start its operation.

Causes of a bad push to start button can include wear and tear over time, electrical issues, or physical damage due to frequent use.

Symptoms of a bad push to start button include:

• The dryer not starting when the button is pressed
• The button feeling loose or unresponsive
• Intermittent starting issues
• The button sticking or not staying in the pressed position

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

The Cycling Thermostat is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. It regulates heating element output and drum temperature during drying cycles. Maintaining proper air and drum temperatures is key to achieving thorough moisture removal from fabrics within targeted cycle times.

Causes of failure typically involve defects developing over many heat exposure and cool-down cycles. Mineral deposits accumulating on the thermostat head can also impact heat-sensing precision over extended use. 

Symptoms of a bad cycling thermostat include:

• Slow or inadequate drying times
• Excessively long cycles for normal loads  
• The dryer turning on/off irregularly while operating
• Unpredictable or fluctuating drum temperatures

This OEM replacement thermostat is compatible with GE, Hotpoint, 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.

The Heat Diffuser is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is designed to evenly distribute heat throughout the dryer drum, ensuring efficient and consistent drying of clothes. The heat diffuser helps maintain proper airflow and temperature inside the dryer.

Over time, the heat diffuser can become worn out or damaged due to high heat exposure, lint buildup, or mechanical issues. Regular use and lack of maintenance can also contribute to its deterioration.

Symptoms of a bad Heat Diffuser include:

• Uneven drying of clothes
• Longer drying times
• Overheating or burning smell
• Increased noise during operation

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

The Timer Knob Assembly is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire electric dryers. This assembly incorporates the timer dial, stem, and mounting components that allow users to set desired drying periods.

Causes of a faulty timer knob include wear and tear of internal gears from regular cycle selections. Damage to the outer dial or stem connection points may also occur.

Symptoms include: 

• Inability to rotate timer dial through full drying options   
• Timer selections not initiating or maintaining set programs
• Dial detaching from the front panel during adjustment

This OEM Frigidaire replacement part is compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, and various Kenmore dryer models as well.

The Drive Motor Kit is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part powers the drum rotation during the drying cycle, ensuring proper tumbling and airflow for efficient drying performance.

Causes of a bad part can include normal wear and tear over time, bearing failure, or electrical issues that prevent the motor from functioning correctly.

Symptoms of a bad Drive Motor Kit include:

• Failure of the dryer drum to rotate or tumble
• Loud grinding or squeaking noises from the motor area
• Overheating or burning smell from the motor
• Incomplete or prolonged drying times

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

This replacement part is a high-limit thermostat, and it is intended for use in different types of appliances. This is a genuine replacement part made by General Electric. This high-limit thermostat is typically found in dryers and controls the heat inside the drying tub. This is especially important as different dryer settings require different amounts of heat. If the high limit thermostat works properly, the temperature inside the tub should reach the correct amount during each drying cycle with no issues. A new high-limit thermostat might be needed if the user notices that the dryer is unable to reach the appropriate level of heat for a certain drying cycle. This is also true if the dryer is becoming too hot when the heat is supposed to be set to low. Make sure the dryer is cooled down prior to replacing this part as the areas in the back of the dryer can become very hot during use. Be sure to reference the specific user manual for more instructions on how to replace the thermostat. This thermostat is sold individually and is a genuine OEM part. The thermostat is sourced directly from the manufacturer.
