The Dryer is 10 years old GE Front Load DPVH890JEMG. The drum would intermittently not rotate at the beginning of a cycle and occasionally would rotate but then start and stop throughout the cycle. I did not check error codes, but the windings on the motor were black. So it seemed reasonable that the motor was overheating and sending a signal to the control board to stop. There is one screw under the knob and 9 screws on the front to get inside. I decided to replace the bearings, capacitor,... 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

I called an appliance repairman and he was booked for 2 weeks and I got the same response from a couple others. I had to YouTube on how to take apart my GE Dryer. It was confusing at times cause it did not match what the video showed. After taking apart the front I could tell the part that needed replacing was the top ring that the drum hung onto. I don't know if the back pivot point was bad but thought I might as well replace it if I am going this far. The site AppliancePartsPros.com was easy... Read more
The High Limit Thermostat is an OEM part for GE dryers. This thermostat plays a critical role in monitoring the temperature within the dryer and shutting off the heating element if it becomes too hot, thereby preventing overheating and potential fires.

This GE OEM replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore model dryers.
The start button broke?!? I ordered another start button and it looked exactly like the one I had. I figured it would break as well, so I might as well try to fix the broken one. I unplugged the power, removed the back of the dryer console, disconnected the start switch from the button and the dryer, depressed the 3 pop out tabs to remove the button from the dryer. I put the switch back in place and reinstalled the back. I clipped off the 3 projections that kept the button from being... Read more
The Bearing Retainer is an OEM replacement part for GE electric dryers. It is an internal component that securely holds the drum bearing assembly in place to enable smooth rotation and provides structural bracing for the bearing during tumbling cycles.
Causes of a faulty retainer can include cracks from heat exposure over years of use. Impact damage from foreign objects inside the drum is also possible.
Symptoms of a bad bearing retainer include:
A few months back I changed out the "Bearing Slides" on the front side of the drum thinking that would stop the annoying squeaking every time we use the dryer. They were very worn and one was missing. But to my dismay it only lessened it by about 10%. After doing a bit more research I discovered the "Rear Shaft Bracket Assembly" also needed replacement. The tip was worn way down and clearly the source of the noise. It was actually a very simple repair except for the fact that the key to the... Read more

Causes of a bad main control board can range from electrical malfunctions, power surges, physical damage from impact or moisture exposure, or simply normal wear and tear over time.
This OEM GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore dryer models.
I began by checking the thermostatic switches and measuring the resistance of the thermistors with a digital multimeter. When I found that the electronic control board was getting the proper 120 volt input, but was unresponsive, I ordered a new board which arrived in four days. After replacing the board, the dryer came on and I set the model and heater type according to the instructions. Since I hadn't worked on this dryer before, I disassembled it much further than was needed. The next time it... Read more
