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 Dryer Front Bearing Drum Slide (White, 2-Pack) is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. These slides are located on the front panel of the dryer and work to support the drum as it rotates. The white slides are designed to reduce friction between the drum and the panel, ensuring smooth operation and helping to prolong the life of the appliance.
Over time, these slides can wear out due to constant movement, heat, and friction. When worn or damaged, the drum may not rotate as intended, leading to noise and reduced efficiency.
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
We cleaned out all ducts carefully and did other basic troubleshooting but it did not help. Began to research the problem on-line and discovered that this dryer has two heating elements. One can fail while the other continues to provide heat - but with a large impact on drying time. Watched youtube videos and how to take apart the dryer to reach the heating coils. Tested the heating elements for continuity with tester and the outer loop had no continuity indicating it was broken somewhere. ... Read more

The Idler Pulley is an OEM part for GE dryers. This critical component helps to maintain the correct tension on the dryer's drive belt, ensuring smooth operation and preventing it from slipping.
Symptoms of a bad Idler Pulley include:
Repair went well, replaced the pulley wheel, belt, rear drum bearing. Had an issue after replacement with the dryer stopping after ~5mins or so when running with heat. Fluff cycle would run fine. Details: The lock nut on the pulley wheel didn't feel tight enough so i tried to crimp it back on the pulley arm. It then became way too lose. I had to replace it with a plastic washer I had in my toolkit. That fit snug and seems to work fine. I also added some grease to the pulley shaft under... Read more
Illuminates your dryer drum for better visibility when loading and unloading clothes. Replace when burned out or flickering. Verify fit with your model.
It was an easy repair just screwed in. The ordering process and simple no hassle and got here fast! I will definitely order from you again Read more
Supports and stabilizes the dryer drum for smooth rotation. Replace if shaft is worn, bearing is damaged, or drum wobbles or sinks at the rear.
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
Supports the rear dryer drum for smooth, quiet rotation. Replace if you hear squeaking, screeching, or thumping during cycles. Verify fit with your model.
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 Interlock Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE electric and gas dryers. This safety component monitors the door closure, preventing operation if the door is not securely closed and latched. The switch measures 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wi
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. This thermistor sends temperature readings to the dryer's control board, which adjusts th
Replaced the inlet control thermis (thermostat) . Now it completes the cycle but clothes are not 100 % dry. I would add 15 minutes more and that helps. FYI: you don't need to remove the drum, just remove the top cover and that will give you enough space to replace the sensor Thank you Appliance Parts for your fast speed of delivery. Read more

Changed ignitor. Ordered new ignitor by just putting dryer model number in the search box. When I opened the dryer up and took the old one out I was originally upset. The meter read 73 ohms. I was expecting OL (open line). The new one read 273 ohms so I put it in. Dryer works now. The install video’s are old. It was much easier than the video’s showed. Opening the control panel was a little trickier than the video. You do NOT need to take screws off the back of the dryer. There are 2 screws... Read more

The Dual Coil is an OEM part for GE dryers. This is often referred to as the “M” coil. If you need to replace both the main coil and dual coil, it is recommended to order the kit 279834, which includes both coils for a comprehensive re
I checked out a few youtube videos on trouble shooting a gas dryer that would not heat, like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8j6fQM3P34. Eliminated all the sensors as possible problems, leaving only the coils or more advanced problems. Took the chance it was one of the coils. I ordered both, replaced them both, put the dryer back together and fortunately that was the problem and it lit up and is running as good as new. 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
