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.

This dryer thermostat senses exhaust air temperature and opens or closes the heater circuit to keep drying temperatures consistent. Replacing a failed thermostat can restore proper heat control and help prevent overheating that can trip safety devices.

• Regulates dryer heat by cycling power to the heater based on sensed temperature
• Helps protect the appliance by interrupting heat if temperatures rise beyond its calibration
• Common symptoms: no heat or intermittent heat, long dry times, dryer runs too hot, temperature swings
• Replace if it fails continuity checks or is out of spec per your model's service information

• Disconnect power; for gas models, also shut off gas supply
• Allow the dryer to cool before servicing
• Access the thermostat on the blower or heater duct (varies by model); transfer wires one at a time and mount the thermostat flush to the surface
• Clear lint and verify vent airflow before testing operation

The Bearing Top Assembly is an OEM part for GE dryers. This assembly contains the capped metal shafts and roller bearings that smoothly rotate the dryer drum during cycles.

Causes of a bad bearing top assembly include worn or rusted bearings crying out for replacement, bent shafts putting pressure on parts, or detached mounting brackets creating imbalance. Repeated use deteriorates all drivetrain components.

Symptoms of a bad bearing top assembly include:

• Drum unable to tumble or spin as required
• Loud grinding/groaning noises during drying
• Excessive vibrations felt through the machine
• Bearings visibly seized up or shafts noticeably bent

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

This GE Motor Drive and Pulley is an OEM part for GE dryers. The motor drive powers the drum, and the pulley system ensures proper tension and alignment of the belt. 

The need for replacement can arise from various factors such as prolonged use, electrical issues, or mechanical wear and tear. A failing motor drive and pulley can significantly impact the dryer's performance.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Motor Drive and Pulley include:

• The dryer drum struggles to turn or doesn't turn at all.
• Unusual noises like humming or grinding during operation.
• The dryer stops unexpectedly during a cycle.
• Overheating of the dryer motor.
• The dryer takes longer than usual to dry clothes.

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

The Blower Wheel is an OEM component specifically designed for GE dryers. It is responsible for circulating air during the drying cycle, directing airflow through lint and clothes to remove moisture. The plastic blades of the blower wheel push air through the dryer and out the vent when the motor is running. 

Symptoms of a bad blower wheel include:

• Slow or inefficient drying times even on low moisture loads    
• Strange noises from inside the dryer cabinet      
• Excessive vibrations felt through the dryer door or cabinet
• Bent or cracked blower wheel blades

Causes can include normal wear and tear over time, accidents that damage the blades, or failures in the secure mounting of the blower wheel.

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

The Trap Duct Slides are an OEM part for GE dryers. These slides are integral to the dryer's lint trap system, providing a smooth surface for the lint screen to slide in and out easily. This ensures efficient lint trapping and removal.

Replacement of the trap duct slides may be necessary due to wear and tear, damage, or if they become clogged with lint over time. 

Symptoms of a bad Trap Duct Slides include:

• Difficulty in inserting or removing the lint screen.
• Excessive lint accumulation outside the trap area.
• Reduced drying efficiency, possibly due to restricted airflow.
• Visible wear or damage to the slides, hindering the movement of the lint screen.
• Potential for increased risk of overheating if lint is not properly trapped.

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

This valve and pipe assembly regulates and routes fuel through the dryer's system so the burner can ignite and maintain heat. Replacing a failing assembly restores reliable heating performance and consistent drying results. What it does

• Manually rotate the drum to verify belt tracking before reassembly and testing

The MOTOR & BLOWER ASSEMBLY is an OEM part for GE dryers. It contains both the drive motor that tumbles the dryer drum as well as the blower motor that circulates air through the heating system. This dual-component assembly works together to simultaneously tumble clothes while pushing heated air into the dryer cylinder.

Causes of a bad motor and blower assembly can include failures of either the drive motor or blower motor. Wiring issues or damaged components internal to the assembly housing can also impact performance.  

Symptoms of a bad motor & blower assembly include:

• The dryer drum not spinning or tumbling clothes
• Inadequate or no airflow through the dryer 
• Dryer not heating or cycles taking excessively long
• Loud buzzing or grinding noises from internal motors

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

This ground strap assembly bonds the dryer's cabinet to the designated ground point, helping ensure safe operation. Replace a damaged or missing strap to restore a proper ground path and reduce the risk of shocks or nuisance static.

• Maintains the required electrical bond between the dryer chassis and ground as designed
• Helps prevent electric shock and reduces static by providing a low-resistance path to ground
• Replace if the original strap is loose, corroded, heat-discolored, broken, or missing
• Symptoms can include a slight tingle when touching the appliance or visible damage near the ground/terminal connection

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; verify no power with a meter
• Follow your model's wiring diagram; bonding differs for 3-wire vs 4-wire cord installations per local codes
• Clean contact surfaces and secure fasteners firmly for a solid metal-to-metal bond; replace any heat-damaged hardware
• After installation, verify continuity between the cabinet and the designated ground point

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.

This exhaust blower gasket seals the joint between the dryer's blower outlet and exhaust duct. It helps maintain proper airflow and contain lint and heat, supporting efficient drying and preventing leaks into the cabinet or laundry area. What it does:

• Seals the blower-to-exhaust connection to prevent air and lint leaks
• Helps maintain designed airflow through the drum and vent system
• Can reduce warm air or lint escaping inside the cabinet

• 1 gasket

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, shut off gas and disconnect the supply. Allow the dryer to cool.
• Access the blower housing/exhaust duct; remove panels as needed.
• Remove the old gasket and any residue; clean mating surfaces and lint before installing.
• Seat the new gasket evenly and reassemble; avoid overtightening fasteners and ensure the home vent is clear.
