Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Broken drum drive belt   Bourque, N. • Rosenberg , TX • October 31, 2016

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

Lower Drum Felt Seal
Genuine Ge part
By: Ge
Part Number: WE09X27634

The Lower Drum Felt seal is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. The Lower drum felt seal is responsible for creating a seal between the drum and the front panel of the dryer.

This part fixes the following symptoms:

  • Air leaking from the dryer drum
  • Reduced dryer efficiency and increased energy costs
  • Clothes becoming caught in the gap between the drum and front panel
  • Potential damage or snags to clothes or the dryer

Causes of a bad Lower Drum Felt Seal can range from normal wear and tear, which degrades the felt material over time, to excessive load sizes that strain the drum and seal. Additionally, over time, the seal can become compressed or damaged, leading to a less effective seal and the potential for heat loss and inefficiency in the drying process.

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Loud squeaking noise from front top area of ge dryer as drum turned   Christopher S. • Closter , NJ • July 12, 2016

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 Bearing Slide 2-Pack
Genuine Ge part
By: Ge
Part Number: WE03X37319

  • A loud squeaking or scraping noise during operation
  • Difficulty rotating the drum manually
  • Clothes taking longer to dry due to improper drum movement
  • Visible wear or thinning on the existing slides

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Noisy dryer drum vibrating and squeaking then screeching!   Dan N. • Wytheville , VA • December 14, 2015

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.

Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You Squealing dryer   Jai P. • Rio Rancho , NM • January 08, 2021

I replaced the slide bearings a few years back. A few months later the rear bearing started to go so I replaced that one. Bad idea. Replace these two at the same time. The wobbling from the rear bearing failure caused accelerated wear on the slide bearings. Without the money to fix it I ran it as it was. Another bad idea. The drum not only chewed through the slide bearings, but eventually the assembly as well. I replaced the whole assembly and rear bearing at one time a couple days ago. It was... Read more

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.

The Dryer is 10 years old GE Front Load DPVH890JEMG. The drum would intermittently not rotate at the beginning of a cycle and occasionally would rotate but then start and stop throughout the cycle. I did not check error codes, but the windings on the motor were black. So it seemed reasonable that the motor was overheating and sending a signal to the control board to stop. There is one screw under the knob and 9 screws on the front to get inside. I decided to replace the bearings, capacitor,... Read more
