The Wire Tie is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is used to secure and organize internal wiring, ensuring that wires remain properly positioned and do not interfere with the operation of the dryer. This part plays an important role in preventing wires from becoming tangled, pinched, or damaged during the dryer’s cycles.

Over time, the wire tie can become worn out, broken, or damaged due to prolonged exposure to heat, vibrations, or wear from normal use. A compromised wire tie can lead to loose or unsecured wiring, which may impact the performance of the dryer or cause electrical issues.

Symptoms of a bad Dryer Wire Tie include:

• Loose or unsecured internal wiring
• Interference with dryer components during operation
• Electrical malfunctions or short circuits
• Wires appearing frayed or damaged due to improper support

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

This ground screw secures the appliance chassis ground connection to the cabinet, restoring a reliable earth path for safe operation and reducing risk of electrical faults. Simple replacement keeps electrical components properly grounded. What it does

• Secures the ground wire or grounding strap to the appliance chassis to maintain a safe earth connection.
• Restores proper grounding when the original screw is missing, loose, or corroded.
• Helps prevent intermittent power/grounding issues and reduces risk of electrical arcing at the chassis connection.
• Works wherever a dedicated grounding point is required on the cabinet or frame.

• Single ground screw

• Always disconnect power (unplug or switch off circuit breaker) before servicing electrical connections.
• Verify chassis is de-energized and wear appropriate PPE when working on electrical parts.
• Use the correct driver bit and size to avoid stripping the screw; tighten securely but avoid over-torquing.
• Replace corroded grounding hardware and ensure the ground wire/strap has clean metal-to-metal contact.

This valve elbow redirects the appliance's water line to the inlet valve, providing a secure 90° connection to help prevent kinks and ensure consistent water flow. Simple, compact replacement for a worn or damaged elbow. What it does

• Redirects the water supply line to the appliance inlet valve for a neat, low-profile connection
• Helps prevent kinking or strain at the inlet connection that can lead to leaks
• Restores proper water routing when the original elbow is cracked, broken, or leaking
• Resolves symptoms such as visible leaks at the valve connection or reduced/disrupted water flow to dispensers or ice makers

• Turn off water supply and unplug the appliance before beginning work
• Drain residual water from the line before removing the old elbow to minimize spills
• Inspect the inlet fittings and water line for damage; replace any worn tubing or gaskets
• Use appropriate tools and replacement gaskets; hand-tighten fittings and check for leaks after restoring water

This dryer bearing bracket secures the drum's rear bearing to keep the drum aligned and rotating smoothly. Replacing a worn bracket can help reduce drum wobble, scraping noises, and uneven drum rotation. What it does:

• Supports and locates the rear drum bearing to maintain proper drum alignment.
• Helps prevent the drum from wobbling, rubbing, or scraping against the cabinet.
• Can reduce or eliminate grinding, squealing, or thumping noises caused by a loose or damaged rear support.
• Works with the dryer's rear bearing assembly to enable consistent drum rotation.

• Disconnect electrical power (and gas, if applicable) before beginning any repair.
• Access typically requires removing the dryer drum and rear bulkhead.
• Inspect the bearing, shaft, and surrounding glides; replace any worn components to prevent repeat failure.

This light hole plug seals the unused drum-light opening in the dryer cabinet. Replacing a missing or brittle plug helps contain lint, limit drafts, and protect internal components around the opening.

• Covers the factory light opening when no drum light is installed
• Helps maintain proper cabinet airflow and lint containment
• Shields the opening from dust and moisture
• Replace if the plug is missing, cracked, hardened, or won't stay seated

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Access the light-hole location per your model's service instructions
• Press the plug fully into the hole until seated flush
• Ensure no wires or components are pinched around the opening

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 adjustable leveling leg replaces a worn or damaged refrigerator foot to restore stable, level support and smooth door operation. Simple height adjustment helps eliminate rocking and keeps the appliance sitting evenly on uneven floors. What it does:

• Supports the appliance weight and lets you fine-tune height for proper leveling
• Compensates for uneven floors to reduce rocking and wobble
• Helps doors seal and align correctly by allowing height adjustment
• Reduces vibration-related noise when the cabinet sits evenly

• One adjustable leveling leg

• Use gloves and eye protection; unplug the appliance and remove food or shelves near the work area before starting
• Tilt or raise the appliance slightly as recommended by the manufacturer to access the leveling leg; support the cabinet securely
• Turn the leg to raise or lower the appliance; check level and door operation, then recheck after the appliance settles
• If the leg threads or mounting hardware are damaged, replace all affected components before returning the appliance to service

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

• Replaces a dented, rusted, or damaged rear cabinet panel to restore proper enclosure and airflow
• 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

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Inspect mounting points and fasteners; replace any damaged hardware as needed
• Secure strap to the motor and cabinet using the original mounting holes and recommended hardware
