The Trap Duct Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. This assembly provides the ducting and pathway to direct lint from the dryer drum to the lint trap. It plays a crucial role in efficiently removing lint and preventing blockages. 

Causes of a bad trap duct assembly can include cracks or breaks in the ducting material, crushing or collapsing of the duct, or loose connections that allow lint to bypass the trap. 

Symptoms of a bad trap duct assembly include:

• Increased drying times as lint is not properly exhausted 
• Lint building up inside the dryer instead of collecting in the trap
• Vibrating or rattling noises from loose or damaged ducting
• Reduced airflow leading to inefficient drying performance

This GE replacement part is compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore models. Replace yours today for optimal lint removal and dryer operation.
