Parts for Ge PFDS455GL2MG: 05 - Blower & Motor Parts

Mounting screw for dryer installation and assembly. Replace this hardware if stripped, missing, or damaged during dryer maintenance or repair work.

The Blower Wheel is an OEM replacement part for GE dryers. It has a role in the air circulation within the dryer, aiding in the even and efficient drying of clothes. The blower wheel, connected to the motor, helps in expelling the moist air out of the dryer through the exhaust vent during the drying cycle.

Causes of a malfunctioning blower wheel are typically wear and tear from regular use, the accumulation of lint or debris, or damage to the wheel’s fins or central hub, which can impact its rotation and air circulation capability.

Symptoms of a bad Blower Wheel include:

• Unusual noises during operation
• Extended drying times
• The dryer overheating
• Reduced air circulation

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

Secures your dryer motor to the cabinet to reduce vibration and noise. Replace if motor shifts or rattles during operation. Confirm fit with your model.

This motor support is the mounting bracket that holds the dryer motor and aligns the blower assembly, restoring stable motor positioning for reliable drum rotation and airflow. Replaces a worn or damaged support to reduce noise and vibration. What it does:

• Secures the dryer motor and blower housing to maintain correct alignment for the drive system
• Helps prevent excessive motor movement that can cause squealing, rubbing or grinding noises
• Restores proper blower alignment to improve airflow and drying performance when support is damaged
• Needed if the dryer drags, vibrates, or makes unusual noises during operation

• Motor support bracket (1)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Removal typically requires taking off the dryer front panel and/or drum; follow model-specific disassembly instructions
• Inspect surrounding components (motor, blower wheel, mounting hardware) and replace any damaged fasteners as needed

Dryer drive belt connects the drum to the motor for tumbling action. Replace if your drum won't turn or you hear squealing. Confirm fit with your model.

The Idler Pulley is an OEM part for GE dryers. This critical component helps to maintain the correct tension on the dryer's drive belt, ensuring smooth operation and preventing it from slipping. 

Symptoms of a bad Idler Pulley include:

• Squeaking or screeching noises during dryer operation, often a sign of bearing wear or failure.
• The dryer drum not turning smoothly, or at all, indicating that the belt may be slipping or has come off entirely due to a failed pulley.
• Excessive heat or a burning smell, which can occur if the pulley is seizing up and causing friction.
• Visible wear or damage to the pulley itself.

Causes of a bad idler pulley can include worn bearings, accumulation of lint and debris that impedes rotation, or material fatigue after prolonged use.

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

Replace a cracked or broken dryer blower housing. This cover protects the blower wheel assembly and mounts inside the dryer cabinet near the drum.

Channels hot air from your dryer to the exterior vent system. Replace if cracked, torn, disconnected, or showing heat damage for proper airflow.

Secures the ground wire to the dryer cabinet for safe electrical connection. Replace if missing, stripped, or corroded to restore proper grounding.

Fix a dryer that won't heat with this outlet backup thermostat. Mounts on exhaust duct for over-temperature protection. DIY repair in under 1 hour.

Replacement mounting screw for dryer panels and components. Needed when original screws are stripped, missing, or damaged during repair or maintenance.

Fix loud grinding noises or motor wobble with this dryer motor mounting plate. Secures the motor assembly to prevent vibration and damage.

This hex washer-head screw secures dishwasher components like brackets, shields, and panels. Replacing a stripped or missing screw restores a tight fit and helps prevent vibration, rattling, and loose parts during operation.

• Fastens parts where a #10-16 x 1/2-inch hex washer-head screw is specified
• Secures brackets, panels, and assemblies to the tub or frame
• Helps resolve symptoms like loose panels, vibration, or rattling noises
• Restores proper hold when the original screw is stripped, missing, or damaged

• Disconnect power and shut off water to the dishwasher before servicing
• Match length and thread to the original; replace screws one at a time to maintain alignment
• Start threading by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly—do not overtighten, especially into plastic
• Verify no wires or hoses are pinched before reassembly

• Size: #10-16 x 1/2 inch
• Head: hex washer-head
• Type: AB tapping screw

Replacement mounting screw for dryer assembly. Secures internal components and panels. Order when original screw is stripped, missing, or damaged.

Dryer shuts off mid-cycle or overheats? The outlet control thermistor monitors exhaust temperature. Moderately difficult repair requires drum removal.

A small rubber-lined washer that cushions and electrically isolates connections to reduce metal-on-metal contact and damp vibration. Helps protect parts and maintain proper spacing for reliable operation. What it does:

• Cushions fasteners and mounting points to reduce vibration and noise
• Provides electrical insulation between metal components
• Prevents wear from direct metal-to-metal contact
• Keeps assemblies aligned by maintaining correct spacing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Access the mounting area per your model's service instructions
• Replace with the same style and orientation to ensure proper fit and insulation
• Inspect surrounding hardware and replace any damaged fasteners or worn mounting surfaces

Right-side idler arm and pin assembly for your dryer's belt tensioning system. Replacement needed when arm is bent, broken, or pin is worn or missing.

Replacement idler spring for dryers. Provides tension to keep the idler pulley and drive belt aligned. Replace if spring is stretched, broken, or worn.

Secures the idler assembly to the dryer chassis to maintain proper belt tension. Replace if screw is stripped, missing, or won't hold the tensioner.

This replacement screw secures appliance panels and internal components per your model's hardware list. Replace lost or stripped screws to keep assemblies tight, reduce vibration and rattles, and maintain proper alignment.

• Fastens brackets, covers, and sheet-metal panels as specified in the parts diagram
• Restores proper fit when an original screw is missing, stripped, or damaged
• Helps eliminate rattling or vibration from loose hardware
• Keeps components safely in place during operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Match length, head style, and thread to the original; install in the same location/quantity
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten with the correct driver

Dryer drum won't spin or stops mid-cycle? This drive motor powers the drum and blower. Fixes E12 errors and restores proper tumbling. Moderate DIY repair.

Foam insulation pad for dryer blower motor. Reduces noise and vibration. Replace if foam is compressed, torn, or missing for quieter operation.

This washer motor run capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help the drive motor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak capacitor can help restore consistent agitation and spin and reduce motor humming or stalling under load.

• Provides the phase shift and torque assist the drive motor needs to start and stay running
• Can address: washer won't start, no agitate or spin, motor only hums/buzzes, or stops under load
• Visible clues of failure can include a swollen, cracked, or leaking capacitor case

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; capacitors can retain a charge even when power is off
• Discharge the capacitor safely before handling
• Note wire positions; move leads to the same terminals and secure the capacitor in the original bracket/orientation
• Inspect connectors and replace any burnt or loose terminals to ensure a tight fit
