The Idler Bracket and Bearing Assembly is an OEM part for GE dryers. This assembly supports and guides the dryer drum belt, ensuring it remains tensioned and aligned for proper drum rotation during the drying cycle. The idler bracket and bearing play a crucial role in maintaining the efficiency and functionality of the dryer.

Over time, the idler bracket and bearing can wear out or become damaged. Causes of a bad idler bracket and bearing assembly can include frequent use, physical damage, or normal wear and tear of the moving parts.

Symptoms of a bad Idler Bracket and Bearing Assembly include:

• Squeaking or grinding noises during the drying cycle
• The dryer drum not turning smoothly or at all
• Increased drying times or incomplete drying

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

The Drive Belt is an OEM part for GE dryers. This belt wraps around the dryer drum, the tension pulley, and the motor pulley, enabling the drum to rotate during the drying cycle. It ensures the effective tumbling of clothes for efficient drying.

Causes of a bad drive belt can include normal wear and tear over time, excessive friction, or overloading the dryer, which can lead to the belt stretching, fraying, or breaking.

Symptoms of a bad drive belt include:

• The dryer drum not spinning
• A squealing or thumping noise during operation
• Clothes taking longer to dry
• The dryer stopping mid-cycle

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

The Dryer Lint Filter is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. This lint filter is designed to trap lint and debris from clothing during the drying cycle, preventing it from entering the dryer's exhaust system. By capturing lint, the filter helps maintain airflow efficiency, ensuring optimal drying performance and reducing the risk of fire hazards.

Over time, lint filters can become worn, torn, or clogged due to regular use. A damaged or ineffective filter may allow lint to bypass the trap, potentially clogging the vent system and impacting dryer efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad lint filter include:

• Visible tears or holes in the filter mesh
• Excessive lint buildup in the dryer drum or vent
• Longer drying times or reduced drying efficiency
• Difficulty fitting the filter securely into its slot

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

The Bearing Assembly is an OEM component designed for GE dryers. This assembly contains the dryer bearing and facilitates smooth drum rotation during drying cycles.   

Symptoms of a bad bearing assembly can include wear and tear over time, exposure to vibrations, or rust/corrosion damage.

Causes of a bad bearing assembly include:

• Noisy operation or grinding sounds 
• The drum not spinning or spinning unevenly
• Excessive machine vibrations 
• Premature wear of other components

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

This plastic bearing supports a small rotating shaft within the appliance's control mechanism. It reduces friction and wear so the selector or rotary component turns smoothly and stays properly aligned.

• Provides a low-friction interface between a rotating shaft and its housing
• Helps maintain smooth, even rotation and proper alignment
• Can address stiffness, binding, or excessive play when turning a selector
• Helps prevent accelerated wear on mating parts

• Disconnect power to the appliance; turn off gas supply if applicable
• Access the rotating mechanism; remove any knob/dial or cover as needed to reach the bearing
• Note the orientation of the original part; press the new bearing fully into place without forcing or adding lubricants unless specified by the manufacturer
• Reassemble and test for smooth, consistent rotation

The Thermostat is an OEM part for GE dryers. It monitors air temperatures inside the dryer drum during cycles to ensure they remain within a designated safe range. As a safety component, the thermostat automatically cuts power if temperatures get too high, protecting dryer components from damage.

Causes of a bad thermostat can include normal wear and tear over time from repeated heat cycles. Mineral buildup interference or electrical faults may also cause premature malfunction.

Symptoms of a faulty thermostat include:  

• Inability to properly heat or maintain consistent air temperatures
• Unexpected fluctuations outside of set temperature points   
• Issues fully completing designated drying cycles  
• Potential overheating errors or safety trips

This genuine OEM GE replacement thermostat restores accurate temperature monitoring and controls. Compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore models as well, it improves performance reliability and safety once installed. Replacing a faulty component prevents ongoing operational issues.

This electronic control assembly manages oven functions, timers and the display, restoring user interface and temperature control when the original control fails. It replaces a faulty control to get oven cycles and settings working again. What it does:

• Controls oven temperature, bake/broil functions, timers and the front display
• Sends and receives signals to start heating elements and manage bake cycles
• Commonly replaces controls that are unresponsive, show no display, or cause ovens to not heat or behave erratically
• Restores normal user-interface and programmed cooking functions when defective

• Disconnect power at the house breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Handle the control assembly carefully to avoid damage from impact or static discharge
• Match the part number and visually confirm connector locations before installation

The Thermistor Assembly is an OEM part for GE dryers. As an integrated sub-assembly, it includes multiple temperature-monitoring thermistors to comprehensively sense heat throughout cycles. 

Located in air inlets and outlets, these thermistors provide feedback to regulating components like the control board and heating elements. This allows for consistent thermal operation by maintaining intended temperatures.

Causes of failure can be normal component wear over repeated heat cycles. Mineral buildup, electrical faults, or accidental mishandling may also prematurely impact functioning.

Symptoms of a faulty thermistor assembly include: 

• Inability to properly heat or maintain consistent air temperatures
• Unexpected fluctuations outside of set points
• Issues fully completing designated drying cycles
• Potential safety trips from inaccurate temperature readings

This genuine GE replacement ensures precise thermal regulation is fully restored. Compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore dryer models as well, safety and performance reliability are improved.

This replacement leveling leg threads into the base of your appliance to support and stabilize it. Adjusting the leg lets you level the unit on uneven floors, helping cut vibration, movement, and rattling during operation.

• Threads into the base to support and level the unit
• Adjusts height to correct rocking or wobble
• Helps reduce vibration, walking, and rattling noises
• Useful when a leg is missing, bent, or the foot pad is worn

• Disconnect power; for gas models, also shut off the gas supply
