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

Note: 10-watt bulb

The Lamp is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part illuminates the dryer's drum interior, enhancing visibility for loading and unloading garments. It ensures that users can easily see their clothes and any items inside the drum, particularly useful in low-light conditions. 

Replacing a non-functional dryer lamp is important for maintaining the functionality and convenience of your GE dryer, ensuring you can effectively manage your laundry. 

Symptoms of a malfunctioning dryer lamp include:

• A lack of light inside the drum when the dryer door is opened or during operation
• Flickering or intermittent light indicating a loose connection or nearing the end of the lamp's lifespan
• Complete failure to illuminate, which could stem from a burnt-out bulb or electrical issues within the dryer

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

This safety thermostat is a temperature-sensitive switch for dryers. It monitors internal heat and opens the circuit if temperatures climb too high, helping prevent overheating. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper heat control and safe operation.

• Monitors dryer temperature and cuts power to the heater if the limit is exceeded
• Helps protect against overheating and heat-related shutdowns
• Common symptoms of a failed or tripped thermostat: no heat or intermittent heat, dryer running too hot, or cycles ending early due to overheating
• Overheating or repeated trips often indicate restricted airflow—inspect venting and lint paths

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Access the thermostat location per your model's service information
• Note wire positions and transfer them one at a time; mount the thermostat flush to its mating surface
• After installation, clear lint and verify proper airflow through the exhaust and vent

The High Limit Thermostat is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is a safety device that prevents the dryer from overheating by cutting off power to the heating element if the temperature exceeds a safe limit. This helps protect the dryer and the user from potential fire hazards.

Causes of a bad high limit thermostat can include electrical faults, repeated exposure to high temperatures, or wear and tear over time. When the thermostat fails, it may either keep the dryer from heating or cause it to overheat.

Symptoms of a bad high limit thermostat include:

• The dryer not heating at all
• The dryer overheating and shutting down mid-cycle
• Clothes taking longer than usual to dry
• The dryer running but not producing any heat

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

The Rear Drum Bearing Kit is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. It is a comprehensive kit that includes both rear drum bearings and necessary mounting hardware. These bearings play a vital role in smoothly rotating the dryer drum during cycles, reducing vibrations and noise.  

Symptoms of bad bearings include:

• Excessive shaking or vibrating during cycles
• Loud grinding or scraping noises emanating from the rear drum area   
• Difficulty turning or rotating the dryer drum by hand
• Increased wear and early failure of other components 

Causes of bad bearings can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive loads or unbalanced loads that strained the bearings, or damage from extended use without proper lubrication.

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