The Kit Felt and Instruction is an OEM part for GE dryers. This kit includes felt seals and instructions necessary for installation. The felt seals help create a barrier between the drum and the front panel, retaining heat inside the dryer and ensuring efficient drying. They also reduce friction and wear on the drum and front panel.

Causes of a bad felt seal can include regular wear and tear, high heat exposure, or damage from foreign objects inside the dryer. A compromised felt seal can lead to inefficient drying and potential damage to the dryer components.

Symptoms of a bad felt seal include:

• Clothes taking longer to dry
• Excessive lint buildup inside the dryer
• Unusual noises during the drying cycle
• Visible damage or gaps in the felt seal

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

This knob and clip assembly secures a range or cooktop control knob to the control shaft so the knob turns the valve or switch reliably. It restores firm, responsive control and prevents the knob from slipping. What it does:

• Secures the control knob to the shaft so knob rotation moves the underlying valve or switch
• Prevents the knob from wobbling, spinning freely, or falling off during use
• Re-establishes positive engagement for accurate temperature or burner selection
• Compatible with common plastic control knobs that use a clip-style retention

• One knob and clip assembly as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting electrical work; for gas appliances, shut off the gas supply per the appliance manuals
• Remove the existing knob (pull straight off) and replace the clip and knob; use gentle pressure to avoid breaking plastic parts
• If the knob is tight after installation, ensure the clip is fully seated on the shaft and aligned with the knob hub

This Cover Top High Depth is an OEM part for GE dryers. It serves as a protective top cover for the dryer, designed to safeguard the internal components while adding to the overall aesthetic and structural integrity of the appliance. 

The need for a replacement top cover can arise from physical damage, wear, or aesthetic degradation over time. A damaged or missing top cover can leave internal components exposed and vulnerable to external elements, potentially affecting the dryer's functionality.

Symptoms of a bad Cover Top High Depth include:

• Visible damage or dents on the top cover.
• Misalignment or difficulty in fitting the cover onto the dryer.
• Unusual noises due to lack of proper insulation or vibration.
• Potential for dust and debris to enter the internal components.
• Decreased aesthetic appeal of the appliance.

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

This exhaust duct routes hot, moist air from the appliance to the home vent, helping maintain proper airflow and reduce lint buildup. It's a direct-fit replacement designed to restore correct venting and appliance performance. What it does:

• Channels exhaust air from the appliance to the external vent.
• Helps prevent reduced airflow that can lengthen cycle times or reduce drying/heating performance.
• Reduces lint accumulation in the appliance exhaust path when intact and properly connected.
• Replaces damaged, crushed or disconnected ducting that can cause air leakage or poor venting.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (and shut off gas supply for gas models) before starting.
• Use gloves to avoid sharp edges; secure connections with the original clamps or equivalent fasteners.

This blower housing assembly directs airflow from the dryer motor to the drum and exhaust, restoring proper venting and drying performance. It replaces a damaged or cracked housing to help the dryer move air efficiently. What it does:

• Channels airflow from the motor to the lint filter and exhaust duct
• Supports the blower wheel and maintains correct blower clearance
• Helps prevent air leaks that can cause poor drying or overheating
• Commonly replaced when the housing is cracked, warped, or excessively worn

• One blower housing assembly as shown

• Disconnect power before beginning any repair; ensure the dryer is unplugged or its breaker is off
• Removal may require access panels and disconnection of the blower wheel and motor mounting hardware
• Inspect and clean nearby lint and venting while the dryer is disassembled

This rear panel is the replacement cabinet back panel that restores the appliance's exterior enclosure and supports internal components. It provides a clean, secure rear surface and helps protect internal wiring and parts from damage. What it does

• Shields internal components and wiring from dust, debris, and accidental contact
• Helps maintain proper venting clearance and appliance stability when mounted correctly
• Prevents sharp edges and gaps that can cause injury or allow pests into the cabinet area

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before servicing; ensure appliance is fully de-energized
• Remove rear access screws and any attached components carefully to avoid damage
• Align panel, secure with manufacturer-specified fasteners, and verify there are no gaps or pinched wires

This motor strap secures the appliance motor to the cabinet, keeping the motor stable during operation to reduce vibration and noise. Use this replacement to restore proper motor positioning and support in compatible models. What it does:

• Holds the motor firmly in place to prevent movement or shifting during use
• Helps reduce vibration and associated noise caused by a loose motor
• Maintains correct motor alignment so belts and linkages run smoothly
• Commonly used when a worn or broken strap allows motor sag or misalignment

• One motor mounting/retaining strap
