Transfers power from motor to drum in your dryer. Replace if squeaking, not spinning, or visibly worn. Confirm fit with your model number before ordering.
First, I did a search based on the problem I had with my model of dryer. The model number was on the door frame and was visible when I opened the dryer door. The problem was, when I pressed the button to start a dryer cycle, I heard a clicking noise and the indicator text changed to "Drying", but I could not hear or see the dryer drum turning. The search led me to a page that indicated my problem was usually one of 3 common causes. 1. Faulty door switch 2. Broken Drum drive belt 3. burned out... Read more
Dryer bearing slides enable smooth drum rotation. Replace when hearing squeaking or rumbling sounds during cycles. Confirm fit with your model number.
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
Seals the gap between the drum and front panel to prevent air leaks and noise. Replace if worn, damaged, or causing squeaking sounds. Verify fit with your model.
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
Dryer won't start when you press the button, or stops when released? The push-to-start switch often fails. Easy 20-minute DIY repair with video.
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.
White plastic timer knob for dryer control panel. Replaces cracked, broken, or stripped knobs that prevent you from selecting drying cycles.
The thermostat knob on my dryer broke and I couldn't find it in any of the stores in my area. I looked online and it was very expensive. I found your website when I went to Lowes. The gave me a card with your site. The knob was very reasonable, came within a week and I was able to put it on in a second! It was a very rewarding experience. Read more
This ductwork channels lint and debris from the dryer drum to the lint filter housing. It ensures proper airflow and lint collection during drying cycles for safe and efficient operation. Replace this duct if lint isn't collecting in the filter, you notice lint buildup inside the dryer, or drying times have increased significantly.
Replaced front panel and inner liner of door (kit), trap duct assembly, both bearing slides (gray and white), and drum front support bearing. Procedure is pretty much what one sees in the video clips. Exceptions in our case included: 1. The fact that our door latch¹ was on the front panel while the door strike² was on the door. The newer (replacement) design has the latch on the door and the strike on the front panel! 2. The new door did NOT have the door latch installed (as shown in the... Read more
Captures lint and debris to maintain airflow and drying efficiency. Replace if cracked, torn, melted, or warped. Confirm fit using your model number.
I ordered the new filter on one day and it was delivered the next. Other web sites told me the part was no longer available and I was very surprised and pleased that Appliance Parts Pros had it in stock and shipped it so promptly. Thank you. Read more
Supports the rear dryer drum for smooth, quiet rotation. Replace if you hear squeaking, screeching, or thumping during cycles. Verify fit with your model.
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
Seals the lint screen housing to prevent lint bypass into internal components. Replace if lint escapes or seal is worn. Confirm fit with your model.
Upon examination of the dryer, I noticed that the belt was intact, though a little worn and hard. However, I noticed that the belt had came of the idler pulley. So I put it back on and had the owners try it out on their next load of wash. It, once again failed to keep the drum turning. So I ordered a new belt and idler pulley (order # 8676164). I found it necessary to remove the drum, in order to change out the new pulley. However, while trying to reinstall the drum, we damaged some of the... Read more
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

Dryer won't start or advance cycles? A faulty timer is often the cause. This part controls cycle duration and power flow. Moderate DIY repair.
Replaced the knob and timer. We didn't need the knob insert, because it was included with the knob which we didn't know this. Read more
White plastic door handle for dryer doors. Snaps into place on the front panel. Replace your cracked, broken, or missing handle for easier door operation.
My husband found the exact handle we needed to replace the one on our dryer at AppliancePartsPros.com and we ordered it. When it came, we replaced it. I know this sounds like a simple story, but honestly, it's much more. For weeks, this broken dryer handle was driving me crazy. Finally, my husband realized that AppliancePartsPros would likely have the part--and they did. We ordered the part on a weekend and got it on Monday. I couldn't believe it. We think this place is awesome. In the... Read more
