Parts for Ge VFD31EDSR0WW: Trap Duct Assembly Parts

This screw secures the power cord/strain relief to the appliance chassis, keeping the cord anchored and reducing stress on the wire connection. Replaces a lost or damaged mounting screw to restore a secure cord attachment. What it does:

• Fastens the power cord strain relief to the appliance cabinet to prevent cord movement
• Helps stop the cord from pulling on internal electrical connections that can cause arcing or intermittent power
• Restores a tight, stable attachment when the original screw is corroded, stripped, or missing

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Verify the strain relief is correctly seated around the cord before tightening the screw
• Hand-start the screw to avoid cross-threading; tighten until secure but do not over-torque (over-tightening can crack plastic or strip threads)

• Helps stop rattling, loose panels, or parts that shift during operation
• Provides a secure threaded hold in thin sheet metal or plastic mounting points
• Matches OEM fit where the WH02X26267 screw is specified

• Use the properly sized Phillips driver to avoid cam-out and head damage
• Start screws straight and apply steady pressure; do not over-torque to prevent stripping
• Wear eye protection when working with small fasteners and sharp edges
• Compare size and thread to ensure a proper match

This ground screw secures an appliance's chassis grounding connection to ensure a reliable electrical ground and help reduce the risk of shock or electrical faults. Simple replacement when the original screw is missing, damaged, or corroded. What it does:

• Fastens the appliance ground wire or grounding strap to the metal chassis for a secure electrical ground.
• Restores a proper grounding point when the original screw is loose, stripped, corroded, or missing.
• Helps address symptoms related to poor grounding, such as intermittent power, electrical noise, or tripped breakers (as reported).
• Provides a direct, stable connection that supports safe appliance operation.

• One ground screw

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repairs to avoid electrical shock.
• Tighten to snug contact with the chassis; avoid overtightening which can strip threads or damage the metal.
• If ground wire or chassis threads are damaged, inspect for necessary additional parts or repair.

The Outlet Thermistor is an OEM component specifically designed for GE laundry machines. It is a heat-sensing component located near the dryer outlet that monitors exhaust air temperatures during the drying cycle. The thermistor plays a crucial role in appliance safety by regulating heat levels.

Symptoms of a bad outlet thermister include: 

• Inability to achieve necessary air temperatures for effective drying
• Dryer fails to sense when clothes are dry and turns off prematurely  
• Fault codes or error messages displayed relating to temperature issues

Causes of failure are typically related to sensor degradation or internal electrical faults over many uses. Proper airflow is also necessary for accurate temperature readings.

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

A standard M10 hex nut used to secure M10-threaded fasteners on compatible appliances. Replaces worn or missing nuts to restore secure connections and reduce rattling or looseness. What it does:

• Secures M10 bolts or studs to hold components together
• Helps eliminate movement that can cause vibration or noise
• Restores proper fit where a damaged or missing nut caused instability
• Used anywhere an M10 nut is specified by the manufacturer

• Use the correct wrench or socket to avoid rounding the nut
• Tighten until secure—follow OEM torque specs when available
• Disconnect power and follow safety instructions when working near electrical components

A small M10 nut with an integrated gasket that secures and seals threaded appliance connections to help prevent leaks and hold fittings tight. Compact replacement for worn or damaged sealing nuts. What it does:

• Provides a sealed threaded connection between hoses or fittings and appliance ports
• Compresses the gasket to prevent water or air leaks at the joint
• Keeps fittings securely fastened to reduce vibration and loosening
• Commonly replaced when threads are corroded, gasket is crushed, or leaks are present

• One M10 nut with bonded gasket

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing
• Hand-start the nut to avoid cross-threading, then snug with the correct sized wrench
• Inspect mating threads and sealing surface; replace if damaged or corroded
• Test the connection for leaks after reassembly

This drum wheel support shaft holds the dryer drum wheel in place so the drum spins smoothly and stays aligned. It replaces a worn or damaged shaft to restore proper drum support and reduce noise or wobble. What it does:

• Provides a mounting shaft for the drum support wheel so the drum rotates evenly
• Helps prevent drum wobble, scraping, and uneven wear on the drum bearings
• Commonly replaced when the drum makes noise, rubs, or feels loose during spin
• Works with the dryer's rear drum support/wheel assembly to maintain drum alignment

• Disconnect power to the dryer before starting any repairs.
• Minor disassembly of the dryer cabinet and removal of the drum is typically required; follow the model's service instructions.
• Inspect associated wheels, bearings, and clips while replacing the shaft; replace any worn components.

This drum wheel supports the dryer drum and helps it spin smoothly so clothes tumble evenly. Replacing a worn wheel restores stable drum rotation and reduces rubbing noises or scraping. What it does:

• Supports the drum at the rear/front and allows it to roll on the axle or shaft.
• Reduces friction and prevents metal-on-metal contact that can cause squealing or grinding.
• Helps keep the drum aligned to avoid uneven wear and noisy operation.
• Common symptom fix: noisy or hard-to-turn drum, scraping or wobbling during rotation.

• Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before starting any repair.
• Support the drum while removing panels and the belt to avoid dropping or bending the drum.
• Inspect other rollers, bearings, and the belt for wear while replacing the wheel; replace any worn parts to prevent repeat failure.

A small hex nut used to secure fasteners on appliances, restoring proper thread engagement and helping hold panels or components in place. Replaces a worn or missing nut to prevent loose or rattling parts. What it does:

• Secures a mating bolt or stud to keep panels, trim, or components fastened
• Restores proper thread engagement when an original nut is stripped or lost
• Helps stop vibration-related looseness and rattling noises
• Suitable wherever the OEM called out this specific nut in the parts list

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before accessing internal components
• Use the correct size wrench or socket to avoid rounding the nut
• Replace with the same style and thread engagement length specified by the OEM
• Replace the mating stud or bolt to ensure a secure fit

This flat metal washer provides a stable bearing surface for a fastener, helping distribute load and protect surfaces for reliable appliance assembly. It's a simple hardware replacement that restores proper fastening and reduces wear. What it does:

• Provides a smooth, even surface for nuts or bolts to bear against
• Distributes clamping force to prevent damage to panels or components
