Parts for Ge GTDS560EF3WS: Shields & Water Parts

A replacement screw used to secure panels and components in compatible GE appliances. Replacing missing or damaged screws restores secure mounting, reduces rattling, and helps keep parts aligned during normal operation. What it does:

• Fastens panels, trim, brackets, or small appliance components to maintain proper alignment and fit.
• Keeps internal parts secured to reduce vibration, rattling, or movement during use.
• Replaces stripped, rusted, or missing hardware that can cause loose or misaligned panels.
• Small, non-electrical part — does not affect electrical circuits or controls.

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before accessing internal parts.
• Use the properly sized screwdriver to avoid stripping the head; hand-start threads to prevent cross-threading.
• Tighten securely but avoid over-torquing; overtightening can strip threads or damage plastic components.
• Keep track of small parts and hardware; replace any damaged or mismatched screws with the correct OEM part.

The Water Valve is an OEM part for GE electric dryers. Located near the bottom of the machine, it controls water flow into the condenser system during moisture-sensing cycles.

The moisture sensing function uses this valve to introduce precise amounts of water vapor into the exhaust air stream periodically. This allows the condenser to capture moisture readings accurately and determine optimal cycle time based on humidity levels. 

Causes of failure include mineral buildup restricting flow, worn seals enabling leaks, or misaligned internal components hindering valve movement.

Symptoms of a faulty water valve are: 

• Loss of moisture sensing ability
• Incomplete or improper readings affecting cycle times  
• Water leaks from the valve area
• Failure to inject water vapor as needed

This part is also compatible with some Kenmore models using GE components.

This steam kit is the OEM steam generator assembly that supplies steam for steam-refresh and wrinkle-care cycles. It restores the appliance's ability to produce steam for improved fabric care and odor removal. What it does

• Heats and releases water as steam into the drum during steam cycles to help relax wrinkles and freshen clothes.
• Addresses weak or no-steam symptoms when the dryer runs steam cycles but garments remain untreated.
• Works with the appliance's control system to deliver steam only during designated cycle phases.
• Helps reduce the need for ironing by loosening fabric fibers during the cycle.

• One steam generator assembly (steam kit) as shown.

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or flooding.
• Suitable for technicians or experienced DIYers; follow the appliance service manual for disassembly and routing of water/steam lines.
• Inspect and replace any brittle or cracked tubing and seals to prevent leaks; test for proper steam delivery after installation.
• Do not operate the dryer with missing or damaged panels; ensure all connectors are secure.
