First, I did a search based on the problem I had with my model of dryer. The model number was on the door frame and was visible when I opened the dryer door. The problem was, when I pressed the button to start a dryer cycle, I heard a clicking noise and the indicator text changed to "Drying", but I could not hear or see the dryer drum turning. The search led me to a page that indicated my problem was usually one of 3 common causes. 1. Faulty door switch 2. Broken Drum drive belt 3. burned out... Read more
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:
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.
Found the entire top bearing support plastic piece was completely worn through, the bearing slides had all disappeared some time ago. So it was obviously the problem. The felt trap duct (which is actually a drum seal along bottom front of drum so I don't know why they call it felt trap duct) had also disappeared, so a lot of lint was getting inside the front panel too. It's a very easy repair to change the bearing support; everything just pops out just like the video shows. Make sure you... Read more
The Bearing Slide Assembly is an OEM component for GE electric clothes dryers. As an integral part of the dryer tumbler system, this assembly includes the bearing slides that allow smooth rotation of the tumbler drum during drying cycles. Symptoms of faulty bearing slides include:
Causes involve general wear of plastic bearing surfaces from years of drum rotation as well as potential damage or misalignment from excess stress on the slides. This GE OEM replacement helps maintain balanced tumbler movement. Compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore dryers using the bearing slide assembly design.
A thumping sound (like sneakers in the dryer) started happening. We stopped using it so that it wouldn't get worse and potentially break more parts. Online research suggested rear drive shaft would be the problem. But also suggested while we have the dryer apart, would be smart to replace the belt and the slides/glides (green and white plastic tabs in front, attached to the door). We ordered all the parts from AppliancePartsPros.com and they arrived FAST. It helps to have two people for this... Read more

A malfunctioning bearing sleeve can lead to increased friction, noise, and potential damage to other parts of the dryer.
Symptoms of a bad rear drum bearing sleeve include:
First symptoms were squeaking drum. This is probably when new glide strips might have been all that we needed. But I put off fixing it... and I put it off some more. Noises got louder, squeaking became screeching, then it started to vibrate loudly. The front drum bearing (really just a plastic arch that the drum rides on) had broken, and with the drum in a canted position, the rear bearing sleeve got messed up too. I ordered the front drum support bearing, and also a rear drum bearing... Read more
The Drum Support Shaft and Bearing is an OEM part for GE dryers. This component supports the drum and allows it to rotate smoothly during the drying cycle. The bearing reduces friction, ensuring quiet and efficient operation of the drum.

Symptoms of a bad Drum Support Shaft and Bearing include:
I replaced the slide bearings a few years back. A few months later the rear bearing started to go so I replaced that one. Bad idea. Replace these two at the same time. The wobbling from the rear bearing failure caused accelerated wear on the slide bearings. Without the money to fix it I ran it as it was. Another bad idea. The drum not only chewed through the slide bearings, but eventually the assembly as well. I replaced the whole assembly and rear bearing at one time a couple days ago. It was... Read more

Note: Can be used as a dishwasher door switch on specific models. Check your model number for the most accurate results.
The full story: Dishwasher stopped running mid-cycle. When I first began troubleshooting I tried manually advancing the timer knob, and the machine would run. That led me to believe that the actual timer assembly was bad, so I replaced it. The dishwasher ran fine for a day, and then the same problem came back. This time, however, I also had to push in on the door to get it to run. I looked around online, and someone suggested that the door latch wasn't closing tightly enough. I adjusted the... Read more
The Inlet Control Thermistor is an OEM part for GE dryers. It monitors and regulates the temperature of the incoming air to ensure optimal drying performance.

The Dryer is 10 years old GE Front Load DPVH890JEMG. The drum would intermittently not rotate at the beginning of a cycle and occasionally would rotate but then start and stop throughout the cycle. I did not check error codes, but the windings on the motor were black. So it seemed reasonable that the motor was overheating and sending a signal to the control board to stop. There is one screw under the knob and 9 screws on the front to get inside. I decided to replace the bearings, capacitor,... Read more

My GE dryer from the late 80's/early 90's was squealing when it would start up, belt or bearing I was thinking. I found a manual online that covered my model and I watched a video on this site that showed me how to take it all apart, mine was a bit different but the principles were the same. I took it apart and added some quick-disconnects to 2 wires so next time I can take the front panel off easily. When I got to the bearing it looked worn but not bad so I cleaned it and put it back. ... Read more

A few months back I changed out the "Bearing Slides" on the front side of the drum thinking that would stop the annoying squeaking every time we use the dryer. They were very worn and one was missing. But to my dismay it only lessened it by about 10%. After doing a bit more research I discovered the "Rear Shaft Bracket Assembly" also needed replacement. The tip was worn way down and clearly the source of the noise. It was actually a very simple repair except for the fact that the key to the... Read more
