The Door Latch is an OEM part for GE dryers. It functions to securely fasten the dryer door shut during drying cycles. The latch fastens the door closed using a tension-based locking mechanism that engages automatically when closing the door.

Causes of a bad door latch can include loose or worn parts from continuous use over time. The locking mechanism may become improperly aligned or miscalibrated, inhibiting the secure closure of the door.

Symptoms of a faulty door latch include:

• Inability to start cycles with the door ajar
• Excessive moisture escaping around the edges of the poorly sealed door during drying
• Loud banging sounds from an improperly closing door
• Door popping open unintentionally mid-cycle 

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

This replacement dryer drum is the rotating tub that holds clothes and allows tumbling during the dry cycle. Replacing a worn or damaged drum restores smooth rotation and helps eliminate rubbing or scraping noises. What it does

• Provides the rotating surface that carries clothes through the dryer drum cycle.
• Restores smooth, balanced tumbling when the original drum is dented, scored, or bent.
• Stops metal-on-metal scraping or grinding noises caused by drum damage or warp.
• Helps resolve drum wobble or uneven rotation that can catch or damage fabric.

• Disconnect power to the dryer before beginning any service; for gas dryers also shut off the gas supply.
• Support the drum when removing panels and retainers to avoid dropping or damaging the new drum.
• Inspect and replace related wear items as needed if visible wear is present.

The Ground Screw is an OEM part for GE dryers. It ensures proper grounding and electrical safety for your dryer. This screw securely connects the ground wire to the dryer chassis, providing a path for electrical current to safely discharge in the event of a fault or power surge.

A bad Ground Screw can lead to electrical issues and potential safety hazards. Causes of a bad Ground Screw can include corrosion, loose connections, or damage due to accidental mishandling or improper installation.

Symptoms of a bad Ground Screw include:

• Intermittent dryer operation
• Visible signs of damage or deterioration on the screw or ground wire
• Tripped circuit breakers or blown fuses

Replace your faulty or damaged Ground Screw with this genuine OEM GE part to ensure proper grounding and electrical safety for your dryer. 

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

This fan seal cushions and centers the fan on the motor shaft to reduce wobble and protect the motor and fan assembly from wear. It helps maintain smooth fan operation and can reduce vibration and noise when worn parts are replaced. What it does:

• Centers the fan on the motor shaft to prevent rubbing and uneven wear.
• Cushions the fan to reduce vibration and noise associated with a loose or damaged seal.
• Protects the motor shaft and fan bore from metal-on-metal contact.
• Common symptom: visible wear, fan wobble, scraping noise, or increased vibration.

• Designed for use on specified GE appliance fan/motor assemblies.
• Turn off and disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service.
• Inspect the fan and motor shaft for damage; replace worn components as needed for proper fit.
• If removal requires disassembly of panels or brackets, keep fasteners organized and follow OEM service steps.

A Belleville nut is a conical spring-style washer that provides axial tension and helps maintain a secure fastening under vibration and thermal cycling. It prevents fasteners from loosening so components stay mounted and aligned. What it does:

• Acts as a spring washer to keep bolts and studs under constant tension
• Helps prevent fasteners from backing out due to vibration or thermal changes
• Restores proper clamp force when a standard flat washer no longer holds
• Commonly used where a compact, high-load spring washer is required

• One Belleville nut

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing and follow all safety precautions
• Install on the correct fastener and seat the cone so it provides axial spring force
• Do not reuse if visibly deformed, corroded, or cracked
• Avoid over-tightening; snug to manufacturer torque specification when available

This access panel covers the service opening to protect internal components and allow safe access for diagnostics and repairs. It restores a clean exterior finish and helps keep dust and debris out of the appliance. What it does:

• Covers the service/service access opening so controls and components stay protected
• Provides a safe access point to inspect or replace internal parts
• Helps prevent dust, lint, and small objects from entering the appliance interior
• Restores the appliance's exterior appearance after servicing

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before removing or installing the panel
• Typical installation uses basic hand tools (screwdriver); keep fasteners from the original panel
• Wear gloves to avoid injury from sheet metal edges
