Washer Dryer Combo Baffle Parts

This tub baffle is the vane inside the washer drum that lifts and tumbles laundry. Replacing a cracked or missing baffle restores proper turnover, helps prevent fabric snags, and reduces banging from loose parts.

• Lifts and moves clothes through the wash and rinse for effective cleaning
• Promotes more even tumbling and extraction during spin
• Replace if the baffle is cracked, loose, or missing
• Common symptoms: poor tumbling, items snagging or tearing, rattling/thumping inside the drum

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Open the door and rotate the drum to access the baffle fasteners from inside the drum
• Remove screws or release locking tabs, seat the new baffle fully, and secure with existing hardware
• Hand-rotate the drum to confirm clearance before running a cycle

This drum baffle mounts inside the rotating drum to lift and tumble laundry during each cycle. Replacing a cracked, loose, or missing fin helps prevent snags and restores proper load movement. What it does:

• Lifts and turns items as the drum rotates to improve tumbling
• Separates garments to reduce tangling and keep loads moving evenly
• Helps prevent small items from lying flat against the drum surface
• Common symptoms include rattling or thumping, visible cracks, clothes snagging/tearing, and reduced tumbling

• One tall drum baffle

• Disconnect power; shut off gas supply before servicing
• Wear cut-resistant gloves; interior cabinet edges can be sharp
• Rotate the drum to access mounting points; support the drum while removing/installing the baffle
• Tighten fasteners securely; hand-turn the drum to verify clearance before testing

This heater baffle mounts near the heating element to deflect and distribute radiant heat. It helps protect nearby surfaces and wiring while promoting more even temperatures and reliable performance inside the appliance.

• Directs and diffuses heat from the element to reduce hot spots
• Acts as a heat shield to protect the liner and adjacent components from direct radiant heat
• Helps maintain proper clearance and airflow around the element
• Damage or a missing baffle can lead to uneven temperatures, localized discoloration/scorching, or a burning smell

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance; allow it to cool completely
• Access the heater area; remove the screws or clips securing the existing baffle and retain the hardware
• Position the new baffle in the same orientation; ensure it does not contact the heating element
• Restore power and test operation

This drum baffle replaces a worn or damaged lifter inside the dryer drum to help clothes tumble evenly and prevent items from bunching. Restores proper tumbling and reduces rubbing/snags caused by broken or missing lifters. What it does:

• Lifts and separates clothes as the drum turns to promote even drying
• Helps prevent garments from tangling or bunching in the drum
• Reduces fabric rubbing and potential snags caused by damaged lifters
• Commonly replaced when the original is cracked, loose, or missing

• One drum baffle

• Disconnect power before starting repairs
• Removal of the dryer drum or front panel is typically required; follow model-specific service instructions
• Use appropriate hand tools and keep track of mounting screws/clips for reassembly
• Inspect drum, mounting studs, and fasteners; replace any stripped or damaged hardware for a secure fit

This drum baffle restores the internal lift inside the dryer drum to help separate clothes and promote even tumbling. Replacing a cracked or missing baffle can reduce banging noises and help restore consistent drying performance. What it does:

• Lifts and moves clothes for more even tumbling and airflow inside the drum.
• Helps prevent garments from bunching or wrapping around the drum during a cycle.
• A damaged or missing baffle can cause loud thumping, scraping noises, or uneven drying; replacing it addresses these common symptoms.
• Designed to match the OEM drum mounting points for proper fit and function.

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before servicing the dryer.
• Access typically requires removing the dryer front or drum; keep track of fasteners and take photos for reassembly.
• Use basic hand tools and avoid forcing parts; inspect mounting hardware and drum condition while replacing the baffle.

The Baffle is an OEM part for GE electric dryers. Located inside the dryer drum, it helps separate clothes and improves air circulation during tumbling cycles. 

To achieve consistent drying times, a dryer relies on balanced airflow penetrating all areas where clothes reside. The baffle creates divisions to ensure air fully surrounds each layer instead of bypassing some areas. Its raised ridges also help tumbling action by preventing clumps of clothes.

Symptoms of a bad baffle include:

• Slow, uneven drying requiring extra cycles  
• Certain areas of clothes remain damp while others over-dry
• Reduced airflow output from the vent due to blockage

Replacing it with the genuine GE baffle plate restores optimized air distribution within the drum. The part is also compatible with some Kenmore dryers that use GE elements.

This lifter assembly is the drum baffle inside the washer's inner tub. It lifts and tumbles laundry as the basket turns—replacing a cracked or missing lifter restores proper turnover, helps prevent fabric damage, and quiets thumping noises.

• Provides the lift/turn action that moves clothes through water and detergent
• Helps distribute loads to reduce tangling and improve cleaning results
• A loose, broken, or missing baffle can cause rattling or scraping noises
• Damage can lead to poor turnover or fabric snagging

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear gloves—the inner drum edges can be sharp
• Access from the drum opening; remove the old lifter by releasing tabs or removing screws (varies by model)
• Align the new lifter with the inner-tub slots, lock tabs in place, and secure as designed
• Verify all baffles are firmly attached before running a test cycle

This drum vane replaces a damaged or missing dryer drum lifter that helps lift and tumble clothes for even drying and gentle fabric movement. Restores proper tumbling and reduces fabric snags when installed correctly. What it does:

• Lifts and guides clothing as the dryer drum rotates to promote even tumbling.
• Prevents clothes from bunching or staying in one spot during a cycle.
• Reduces scraping, thumping, or uneven noise caused by a broken or missing vane.
• Helps maintain proper drum rotation and load distribution.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs.
• Access the drum per your model's service instructions (front panel or cabinet removal may be required).
• Align the vane with the drum mounting points and secure using the original fasteners; replace damaged clips or screws if needed.
• After reassembly, run a short no-heat cycle to ensure smooth drum rotation and correct installation.
