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

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:
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.
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
The Bearing Slide Assembly is an OEM component for GE electric clothes dryers. As an integral part of the dryer tumbler system, this assembly includes the bearing slides that allow smooth rotation of the tumbler drum during drying cycles. Symptoms of faulty bearing slides include:
Causes involve general wear of plastic bearing surfaces from years of drum rotation as well as potential damage or misalignment from excess stress on the slides. This GE OEM replacement helps maintain balanced tumbler movement. Compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore dryers using the bearing slide assembly design.
A thumping sound (like sneakers in the dryer) started happening. We stopped using it so that it wouldn't get worse and potentially break more parts. Online research suggested rear drive shaft would be the problem. But also suggested while we have the dryer apart, would be smart to replace the belt and the slides/glides (green and white plastic tabs in front, attached to the door). We ordered all the parts from AppliancePartsPros.com and they arrived FAST. It helps to have two people for this... Read more
The Dryer Bearing Slide (2-Pack) is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. These slides are installed on the front panel of the dryer and support the drum as it rotates. They help reduce friction and wear, ensuring smooth and quiet operation during drying cycles. This pack includes two bearing slides, which are commonly used together in the dryer assembly.
Over time, bearing slides can wear down due to regular use, heat, and friction. When they become worn or damaged, the drum may no longer rotate smoothly, which can affect the dryer's performance and increase noise levels.
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
The Rear Drum Bearing Sleeve is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is designed to support the rear of the dryer drum, ensuring smooth rotation during the drying cycle. This sleeve reduces friction between the drum and the bearing, contributing to efficient and quiet operation of the dryer. This is the dryer rear drum bearing sleeve only. For the rear drum bearing kit order WE25M40.
You should replace the rear drum bearing sleeve if it becomes worn out or damaged. Causes of a bad bearing sleeve can include regular wear and tear, lack of lubrication, or excessive loads that cause undue stress on the component. A malfunctioning bearing sleeve can lead to increased friction, noise, and potential damage to other parts of the dryer.
Symptoms of a bad rear drum bearing sleeve include:
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. I ordered the front drum support bearing, and also a rear drum bearing... Read more
The Drum Support Shaft and Bearing is an OEM part for GE dryers. This component supports the drum and allows it to rotate smoothly during the drying cycle. The bearing reduces friction, ensuring quiet and efficient operation of the drum.
Common causes of a bad support shaft and bearing include normal wear and tear, overloading the dryer, or a lack of lubrication. These issues can lead to increased friction and stress on the components.
Symptoms of a bad Drum Support Shaft and Bearing include:
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
This door switch is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. This switch is designed to promptly end the dryer cycle when the door is opened. The switch comes equipped with a metal lever arm and plunger that can be depressed to activate the switch.

Symptoms of a bad door switch are:
This OEM part is also compatible with ranges sold under Hotpoint and RCA brands and some Kenmore models.
We ordered a door switch, dryer latch and strike plate. We realized that we only needed to replace the door switch. We watched a few videos and then replaced the switch. We couldn’t find a video for our model but they did give us a pretty good idea about what we needed to do. The hardest part was getting the original door switch out, all of the videos we watched showed us that it would pop out with a little pressure from a flat head screw driver, from the front of the switch. We could not get... Read more
The Lint Screen Housing Seal is an OEM part for GE dryers. This seal is designed to fit around the housing of the lint screen, ensuring a tight seal that prevents lint and small particles from bypassing the filter and entering the dryer's internal components.

Upon examination of the dryer, I noticed that the belt was intact, though a little worn and hard. However, I noticed that the belt had came of the idler pulley. So I put it back on and had the owners try it out on their next load of wash. It, once again failed to keep the drum turning. So I ordered a new belt and idler pulley (order # 8676164). I found it necessary to remove the drum, in order to change out the new pulley. However, while trying to reinstall the drum, we damaged some of the... Read more
The Interlock Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE electric and gas dryers. This safety component monitors the door closure, preventing operation if the door is not securely closed and latched. The switch measures 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.
Symptoms of a faulty interlock switch include:

This genuine GE switch is compatible with Hotpoint and RCA dryers as well.
Note: Can be used as a dishwasher door switch on specific models. Check your model number for the most accurate results.
The full story: Dishwasher stopped running mid-cycle. When I first began troubleshooting I tried manually advancing the timer knob, and the machine would run. 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. This time, however, I also had to push in on the door to get it to run. I looked around online, and someone suggested that the door latch wasn't closing tightly enough. I adjusted the... Read more
The Inlet Control Thermistor is an OEM part for GE dryers. It monitors and regulates the temperature of the incoming air to ensure optimal drying performance.

Parts came super quick (2 days to Hawaii). I replaced the drum support shaft bearing, the front drum support and the slides on my GE electric dryer. I used the step by step video provided. The electrical panel on the top was different than the video but as suggested I took detailed pictures of it before I disconnected 20 or so individual wires to the control board. I couldn't take the entire top plate off the dryer because some of the wires were shared and spliced together from either side.... Read more

Symptoms of a bad igniter include:
Changed ignitor. Ordered new ignitor by just putting dryer model number in the search box. When I opened the dryer up and took the old one out I was originally upset. The meter read 73 ohms. I was expecting OL (open line). The new one read 273 ohms so I put it in. Dryer works now. The install video’s are old. It was much easier than the video’s showed. Opening the control panel was a little trickier than the video. You do NOT need to take screws off the back of the dryer. There are 2 screws... Read more
