The Dryer Front Bearing Drum Slide (Green, 2-Pack) is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. These slides are located on the front panel of the dryer and work to support the drum as it rotates. The green slides are designed to reduce friction between the drum and the panel, ensuring smooth operation and helping to prolong the life of the appliance.

Over time, these slides can wear out due to constant movement, heat, and friction. When worn or damaged, the drum may not rotate as intended, leading to noise and reduced efficiency.

Symptoms of bad dryer front bearing drum slides include:

• Squeaking or grinding noises during operation
• The drum appearing loose or sagging at the front
• Clothes not drying evenly or taking longer to dry
• Visible wear or thinning on the existing drum slides

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

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 Door Switch is an OEM part for GE dryers, designed to ensure the dryer does not operate when the door is open. This safety feature is crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring the appliance operates efficiently and safely. The switch signals the dryer's control system about the status of the door—if it's open or closed—thereby allowing or preventing the start of a drying cycle. 

Causes of damage to the door switch often include mechanical wear from repeated use, accidental damage from loading or unloading, or electrical issues such as short circuits. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Switch include:

• The dryer not starting when the door is closed 
• The dryer continuing to run when the door is opened
• Unusual noises or the dryer stopping mid-cycle
