Parts for Ge PTDS650EM0WT: 03 - Water System Parts

The Trap Duct Assembly is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part directs the airflow from the dryer drum to the exhaust vent. This assembly ensures efficient drying by guiding hot air out of the dryer while collecting lint and debris in the trap, preventing it from clogging the venting system.

Causes of a bad trap duct assembly can include lint buildup over time, physical damage due to heavy usage, or obstruction from foreign objects. 

Symptoms of a bad Trap Duct Assembly include:

• Reduced drying efficiency or longer drying times
• Excessive lint buildup around the dryer
• Overheating of the dryer
• Unusual noises during the drying cycle

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

This silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) is an electronic switching device used in appliance control circuitry to regulate power to motors or heating circuits. Replacing a faulty SCR restores reliable power control and helps resolve intermittent or failed operation. What it does:

• Controls and modulates electrical current in control boards and power circuits
• Allows timed or variable power delivery to heating elements or motors in appliances
• Helps stop intermittent operation caused by a failed switching device
• Commonly replaced when an appliance experiences no heat, no motor run, or erratic performance

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Handle with ESD precautions; avoid touching terminals and static-sensitive areas
• Install the replacement SCR with the same orientation and secure mounting as the original
