This is a small screw, and it is made for dryers, washers, and washer dryer combos. This is a genuine replacement part made by General Electric. Screws are common in these appliances and can cause many difficulties if they become loose, damaged, or missing.A new screw might be needed if there are areas in the appliance that seem off balance or not level. Another way to tell if a new screw is needed is if there are parts in the appliance that are loose or falling off. This is common over many years of normal use as the shaking of washers and dryers can eventually lead to loose screws. Be sure the washer or dryer is completely off before attempting to replace any screws.This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually and is compatible with washers, dryers, and washer dryer combos made by General Electric.

The Thermostat is an OEM component specifically designed for GE laundry machines. It is a heat-sensing component that monitors and regulates air temperatures inside the dryer drum. Precise thermostat functioning ensures proper drying temperatures are reached and maintained for optimal performance.

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• The dryer failing to heat or only heating intermittently  
• Unexpected temperature display readings or error codes
• Inconsistent moisture removal or garments not fully drying 

Causes include sensor degradation, electrical faults, or improper ventilation reducing its ability to accurately measure temperatures.

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