This idler pivot screw secures the dryer idler assembly so the belt stays properly tensioned for smooth drum rotation. It's a small but critical mounting fastener for the idler/pulley system. What it does:

• Secures the idler/pulley pivot to the dryer chassis so the tensioner can hold the drive belt.
• Restores proper belt alignment and tension when the original pivot screw is missing or worn.
• Helps stop belt slippage and related noise when the idler assembly is loose.
• Works with the idler/pulley components to allow even, stable drum rotation.

• One idler pivot screw

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before accessing internal dryer parts.
• Basic hand tools required; retain small fasteners to avoid loss during reassembly.
• If the idler or pulley shows wear, inspect and replace the entire idler assembly rather than only the screw.

This rear level leg bracket replaces the rear mounting bracket that secures a leveling leg to the appliance frame, restoring proper support and helping keep the appliance stable and level for safe, quiet operation. What it does:

• Secures the rear leveling leg to the appliance frame so the cabinet sits evenly
• Restores proper height and prevents the appliance from tilting backward
• Reduces rocking, wobbling, and vibration caused by a damaged or loose bracket
• Helps maintain safe, stable operation under normal load conditions

• Disconnect power (and gas supply if applicable) and move the appliance to a safe, accessible area before starting.
• Support the appliance cabinet so it cannot tip when the rear leg or bracket is removed.
• Use basic hand tools to remove and install the bracket; follow the appliance manufacturer's instructions.
• Inspect the leveling leg and front mounts while servicing; replace any worn or damaged hardware.

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.

This steam kit is the OEM steam generator assembly that supplies steam for steam-refresh and wrinkle-care cycles. It restores the appliance's ability to produce steam for improved fabric care and odor removal. What it does

• Heats and releases water as steam into the drum during steam cycles to help relax wrinkles and freshen clothes.
• Addresses weak or no-steam symptoms when the dryer runs steam cycles but garments remain untreated.
• Works with the appliance's control system to deliver steam only during designated cycle phases.
• Helps reduce the need for ironing by loosening fabric fibers during the cycle.

• One steam generator assembly (steam kit) as shown.

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or flooding.
• Suitable for technicians or experienced DIYers; follow the appliance service manual for disassembly and routing of water/steam lines.
• Inspect and replace any brittle or cracked tubing and seals to prevent leaks; test for proper steam delivery after installation.
• Do not operate the dryer with missing or damaged panels; ensure all connectors are secure.

This plastic screw plug covers and protects unused screw holes on appliance panels for a clean, finished look while helping keep out dirt and moisture. Simple replacement to restore appearance and prevent debris buildup. What it does:

• Covers exposed screw holes in trim or panels to improve appearance
• Helps block dust and light debris from entering through openings
• Prevents accidental contact with recessed screws
• Useful when replacing panels or removing components where plugs were lost

• One plastic screw plug

• Disconnect power or unplug the appliance before accessing internal panels when necessary
• Press the plug into the hole by hand; use a flat tool gently if alignment is tight
• Do not force or hammer the plug to avoid panel damage
• Replace any damaged surrounding trim before installing plug for a secure fit

This door guide aligns and supports the dryer door as it closes so the strike engages the catch cleanly. Replacing a damaged or missing guide restores smooth, secure latching and reduces gaps that can affect drying performance.

• Guides the door into position for proper latch engagement
• Helps maintain door alignment to prevent gaps, rubbing, or rattling
• Addresses issues like difficulty closing, door popping open, or misalignment
• Direct replacement for a worn, cracked, or missing guide

• Disconnect power to the dryer before servicing
• Open the door and remove the screws or clips securing the existing guide
• Position the new guide and fasten with the original hardware
• Test door operation to ensure smooth latching and proper alignment

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.
