Pfds450eloww Parts

Dryer door gasket seal creates an air barrier around the door perimeter. Replace if worn, torn, or causing heat loss. Confirm fit with your model number.

This washer motor run capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help the drive motor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak capacitor can help restore consistent agitation and spin and reduce motor humming or stalling under load.

• Provides the phase shift and torque assist the drive motor needs to start and stay running
• Can address: washer won't start, no agitate or spin, motor only hums/buzzes, or stops under load
• Visible clues of failure can include a swollen, cracked, or leaking capacitor case

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; capacitors can retain a charge even when power is off
• Discharge the capacitor safely before handling
• Note wire positions; move leads to the same terminals and secure the capacitor in the original bracket/orientation
• Inspect connectors and replace any burnt or loose terminals to ensure a tight fit

This adjustable gray foot supports and levels your dryer, allowing you to compensate for uneven floors. It screws into the dryer's base and can be raised or lowered to ensure the appliance sits level and stable. Replace this part if your dryer rocks, vibrates excessively, or appears tilted.

Rear bracket and leveling screw assembly.

Replacement center screw that secures the control knob to the shaft on your dryer. Needed when the original screw is stripped, missing, or loose.

This hex washer-head screw secures dishwasher components like brackets, shields, and panels. Replacing a stripped or missing screw restores a tight fit and helps prevent vibration, rattling, and loose parts during operation.

Includes 12 screws. Size: 8-18 ab.

Replacement screw that secures appliance panels and internal components, restoring proper fit and helping prevent rattling or misalignment. Use this fastener when original screws are stripped, missing, or damaged to keep parts stable and secure. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim pieces, brackets and other components to maintain proper alignment and fit.
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing screws that can cause rattling, vibration, or loose parts.
• Restores stable mounting for service panels and access covers to reduce noise and movement during operation.
• Simple hardware replacement — helps prevent secondary damage caused by loose or shifted components.

• Disconnect power or gas (when applicable) before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Use the correct screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head; turn until snug—do not overtighten.
• Keep track of small parts and wear eye protection when working in tight spaces.
• If threads are damaged, replace with the correct OEM screw rather than forcing reuse.

Size: 8-32 t. Includes 12 screws.

Protection bracket for dryers. Mounts internally to shield components from damage. Replace if bent, broken, or missing to restore proper protection.

Secures the idler assembly to the dryer chassis to maintain proper belt tension. Replace if screw is stripped, missing, or won't hold the tensioner.

The Water Valve is an OEM part for GE electric dryers. Located near the bottom of the machine, it controls water flow into the condenser system during moisture-sensing cycles.

The moisture sensing function uses this valve to introduce precise amounts of water vapor into the exhaust air stream periodically. This allows the condenser to capture moisture readings accurately and determine optimal cycle time based on humidity levels. 

Causes of failure include mineral buildup restricting flow, worn seals enabling leaks, or misaligned internal components hindering valve movement.

Symptoms of a faulty water valve are: 

• Loss of moisture sensing ability
• Incomplete or improper readings affecting cycle times  
• Water leaks from the valve area
• Failure to inject water vapor as needed

This part is also compatible with some Kenmore models using GE components.

Stainless steel #8 x 5/8" screw for dryer door and panel assembly. Replace missing, stripped, or corroded screws to secure components properly.

Plastic plug that covers unused screw holes on dryer panels for a clean appearance. Replace when cracked, missing, or worn to protect openings.

Replacement mounting screw for dryer panels and components. Needed when original screws are stripped, missing, or damaged during repair or maintenance.
