The Lower Drum Felt seal is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. The Lower drum felt seal is responsible for creating a seal between the drum and the front panel of the dryer.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Causes of a bad Lower Drum Felt Seal can range from normal wear and tear, which degrades the felt material over time, to excessive load sizes that strain the drum and seal. Additionally, over time, the seal can become compressed or damaged, leading to a less effective seal and the potential for heat loss and inefficiency in the drying process.
This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
Found the entire top bearing support plastic piece was completely worn through, the bearing slides had all disappeared some time ago. So it was obviously the problem. The felt trap duct (which is actually a drum seal along bottom front of drum so I don't know why they call it felt trap duct) had also disappeared, so a lot of lint was getting inside the front panel too. It's a very easy repair to change the bearing support; everything just pops out just like the video shows. Make sure you... Read more
The Bearing Slide Assembly is an OEM component for GE electric clothes dryers. As an integral part of the dryer tumbler system, this assembly includes the bearing slides that allow smooth rotation of the tumbler drum during drying cycles. Symptoms of faulty bearing slides include:
Causes involve general wear of plastic bearing surfaces from years of drum rotation as well as potential damage or misalignment from excess stress on the slides. This GE OEM replacement helps maintain balanced tumbler movement. Compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore dryers using the bearing slide assembly design.
A thumping sound (like sneakers in the dryer) started happening. We stopped using it so that it wouldn't get worse and potentially break more parts. Online research suggested rear drive shaft would be the problem. But also suggested while we have the dryer apart, would be smart to replace the belt and the slides/glides (green and white plastic tabs in front, attached to the door). We ordered all the parts from AppliancePartsPros.com and they arrived FAST. It helps to have two people for this... Read more
The Dryer Push-to-Start Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. This component is responsible for initiating the drying cycle when pressed, serving as the primary control for starting the dryer's operation.

I was trying to troubleshot a problem I had with my GE dryer not starting. I went to AppliancePartsPros.com because they have excellent DYI videos on how to make repairs. I determined that the problem was in the push start switch. I ordered the switch online and it took 3 days to arrive. It took 5 minutes to replace the switch and the dryer works perfectly. Read more
The Dryer Bearing Slide (2-Pack) is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. These slides are installed on the front panel of the dryer and support the drum as it rotates. They help reduce friction and wear, ensuring smooth and quiet operation during drying cycles. This pack includes two bearing slides, which are commonly used together in the dryer assembly.
Over time, bearing slides can wear down due to regular use, heat, and friction. When they become worn or damaged, the drum may no longer rotate smoothly, which can affect the dryer's performance and increase noise levels.
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
The Door Handle is an OEM part for GE dryers. This handle is for the easy opening and closing of the dryer door, providing a durable and reliable grip.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models
Just snapped in the replacement handle. Read more
The Rear Drum Bearing Sleeve is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is designed to support the rear of the dryer drum, ensuring smooth rotation during the drying cycle. This sleeve reduces friction between the drum and the bearing, contributing to efficient and quiet operation of the dryer. This is the dryer rear drum bearing sleeve only. For the rear drum bearing kit order WE25M40.
You should replace the rear drum bearing sleeve if it becomes worn out or damaged. Causes of a bad bearing sleeve can include regular wear and tear, lack of lubrication, or excessive loads that cause undue stress on the component. A malfunctioning bearing sleeve can lead to increased friction, noise, and potential damage to other parts of the dryer.
Symptoms of a bad rear drum bearing sleeve include:
First symptoms were squeaking drum. This is probably when new glide strips might have been all that we needed. But I put off fixing it... and I put it off some more. Noises got louder, squeaking became screeching, then it started to vibrate loudly. The front drum bearing (really just a plastic arch that the drum rides on) had broken, and with the drum in a canted position, the rear bearing sleeve got messed up too. I ordered the front drum support bearing, and also a rear drum bearing... Read more
The Drum Support Shaft and Bearing is an OEM part for GE dryers. This component supports the drum and allows it to rotate smoothly during the drying cycle. The bearing reduces friction, ensuring quiet and efficient operation of the drum.
Common causes of a bad support shaft and bearing include normal wear and tear, overloading the dryer, or a lack of lubrication. These issues can lead to increased friction and stress on the components.
Symptoms of a bad Drum Support Shaft and Bearing include:
I replaced the slide bearings a few years back. A few months later the rear bearing started to go so I replaced that one. Bad idea. Replace these two at the same time. The wobbling from the rear bearing failure caused accelerated wear on the slide bearings. Without the money to fix it I ran it as it was. Another bad idea. The drum not only chewed through the slide bearings, but eventually the assembly as well. I replaced the whole assembly and rear bearing at one time a couple days ago. It was... Read more
This Lint Screen Cover is an original and genuine OEM replacement part for GE dryers. The Lint Screen Cover plays a role in the efficient operation of your dryer. It serves as a protective grid that helps prevent objects from entering the dryer vent and causing potential damage to the internal components. One common cause is a build-up of lint or debris, which can restrict proper airflow and result in overheating. This can lead to reduced drying efficiency, longer drying times, and potential damage to other components of the dryer. Here are some symptoms that indicate a faulty Lint Screen Cover:
This genuine GE OEM replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Interlock Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE electric and gas dryers. This safety component monitors the door closure, preventing operation if the door is not securely closed and latched. The switch measures 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.
Symptoms of a faulty interlock switch include:
Causes relate to the internal component contacting the door frame over 50,000 open/close cycles potentially exposing wiring to wear. Regular cleaning the external switch area prevents dust or lint buildup skewing performance.
This genuine GE switch is compatible with Hotpoint and RCA dryers as well.
Note: Can be used as a dishwasher door switch on specific models. Check your model number for the most accurate results.
The full story: Dishwasher stopped running mid-cycle. When I first began troubleshooting I tried manually advancing the timer knob, and the machine would run. That led me to believe that the actual timer assembly was bad, so I replaced it. The dishwasher ran fine for a day, and then the same problem came back. This time, however, I also had to push in on the door to get it to run. I looked around online, and someone suggested that the door latch wasn't closing tightly enough. I adjusted the... Read more

Symptoms of a bad Door Latch include:
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
