The Door Latch is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part ensures the dryer door stays securely closed during operation, activating the safety switch to allow the dryer to operate. The latch mechanism engages with the door strike to lock the door, preventing it from opening while the dryer is running, which is essential for both safety and proper functioning of the appliance. 

Causes for replacement can include normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or a misalignment that prevents the door from securely latching. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Latch include:

• The dryer door doesn't stay closed during cycles.
• Difficulty in starting the dryer due to the door not activating the safety switch.
• Visible wear or damage to the latch mechanism.

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

The Lint Filter is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is strategically placed in the dryer to capture lint and debris from clothes during the drying process, helping to prevent these materials from clogging the dryer vent or damaging the internal components. 

Symptoms of a bad Lint Filter include:

• Torn or damaged filter mesh, allowing lint to pass through and accumulate in the vent.
• Excessive lint buildup around the dryer frame, indicating the filter is not capturing properly.
• Reduced drying efficiency, with clothes still damp after a cycle, suggesting a clogged filter or airflow issue.

Causes of a bad lint filter can include normal wear and tear from regular use, accidental damage from sharp objects or heavy laundry items, or improper maintenance, such as not cleaning the filter regularly.

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

This felt seal creates a smooth, airtight barrier where the drum meets the bulkhead in your dryer. Replacing a worn seal helps maintain proper airflow, protect fabrics from snagging, and reduce scraping or squealing noises during operation. What it does:

• Seals the gap between the rotating drum and front/rear bulkhead to contain heat and airflow
• Provides a low-friction, cushioned surface for the drum rim
• Helps keep lint and debris out of the cabinet
• Common symptoms of failure: longer or uneven dry times, rubbing/scraping noises, clothes catching or leaving marks at the drum edge, visibly worn or torn felt

• 1 felt seal

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Remove the top/front panel to access the drum and bulkhead; support drum as needed
• Remove old felt and adhesive; clean the mating surface thoroughly
• Dry-fit the new seal; install per manufacturer guidance; allow proper set time before reassembly
• Hand-rotate the drum to verify even contact and clearance, then test operation

This gas valve regulates and safely delivers fuel to your dryer's burner. When operating correctly, it opens for ignition and closes when heat is satisfied, providing consistent, reliable heating for effective drying.

• Opens to allow gas into the burner when the ignition system calls for heat
• Closes to stop gas flow during cycling or if ignition fails
• Possible symptoms: dryer runs but no heat; igniter glows yet no flame; intermittent heat or long dry times
• Helps restore proper burner ignition and stable flame

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Work in a well-ventilated area; check all connections for leaks with a non-corrosive leak-detection solution after installation
• Transfer any brackets, fittings, or orifices from the original valve as required; secure connections
• Confirm gas type (natural/LP) and regulator/orifice settings per the service manual before restoring service

This burner assembly is the combustion head for GE gas dryers. It mixes gas and air and directs a stable flame into the heater housing, restoring consistent heat when the original burner is corroded, warped, or clogged.

• Directs the gas flame into the heat chamber for proper drying temperatures
• Works with the igniter, flame sensor, and gas valve to produce heat
• Typical failure symptoms: no heat or intermittent heat, long dry times, burner lights then goes out, unstable/yellow flame
• Physical issues can include rust, warping, or blocked burner ports

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply; allow the dryer to cool completely
• Note position of the igniter and flame sensor relative to the burner port; realign during reassembly
• Transfer any reusable fittings from the original burner as needed and verify orifice/fuel type match your installation
• After reconnecting gas, perform a leak check with a non-corrosive soapy water solution before restoring power

If the mounting clip is burnt order WE1X941.

The Dual Coil is an OEM part for GE dryers. This is often referred to as the “M” coil. If you need to replace both the main coil and dual coil, it is recommended to order the kit 279834, which includes both coils for a comprehensive replacement.

Causes of a faulty dual coil can include wear and tear over time, electrical component failure, or damage due to overheating or excessive usage. These factors can result in insufficient heat production, inconsistent drying, or no heat at all.

Symptoms of a bad dual coil may include:

• Insufficient heat or no heat during the drying cycle
• Inconsistent drying results
• Extended drying times

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

The Main Coil is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is a crucial component of the gas valve assembly, responsible for opening the gas valve to allow gas flow to the burner, enabling the dryer to produce heat.

Causes of a bad main coil can include electrical faults such as short circuits or open circuits within the coil, wear and tear from prolonged use, or damage due to overheating. Over time, the coil's ability to control the gas flow can diminish, affecting the dryer's performance.

Symptoms of a bad main coil include:

• The dryer not heating up
• Intermittent heating during a drying cycle
• The dryer taking longer than usual to dry clothes
• A clicking sound without the ignition of the burner

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