Parts for Ge DDG7280RALAA: 04 - Cabinet Front Asm. Parts

The Door Latch is an OEM part for GE dryers. This part ensures the dryer door stays securely closed during operation, activating the safety switch to allow the dryer to operate. The latch mechanism engages with the door strike to lock the door, preventing it from opening while the dryer is running, which is essential for both safety and proper functioning of the appliance. 

Causes for replacement can include normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or a misalignment that prevents the door from securely latching. 

Symptoms of a bad Door Latch include:

• The dryer door doesn't stay closed during cycles.
• Difficulty in starting the dryer due to the door not activating the safety switch.
• Visible wear or damage to the latch mechanism.

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

The Lint Filter is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is strategically placed in the dryer to capture lint and debris from clothes during the drying process, helping to prevent these materials from clogging the dryer vent or damaging the internal components. 

Symptoms of a bad Lint Filter include:

• Torn or damaged filter mesh, allowing lint to pass through and accumulate in the vent.
• Excessive lint buildup around the dryer frame, indicating the filter is not capturing properly.
• Reduced drying efficiency, with clothes still damp after a cycle, suggesting a clogged filter or airflow issue.

Causes of a bad lint filter can include normal wear and tear from regular use, accidental damage from sharp objects or heavy laundry items, or improper maintenance, such as not cleaning the filter regularly.

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

Causes of a faulty dual coil can include wear and tear over time, electrical component failure, or damage due to overheating or excessive usage. These factors can result in insufficient heat production, inconsistent drying, or no heat at all.

Symptoms of a bad dual coil may include:

• Insufficient heat or no heat during the drying cycle

Causes of a bad main coil can include electrical faults such as short circuits or open circuits within the coil, wear and tear from prolonged use, or damage due to overheating. Over time, the coil's ability to control the gas flow can diminish, affecting the dryer's performance.

Symptoms of a bad main coil include:

• Intermittent heating during a drying cycle
• The dryer taking longer than usual to dry clothes
• A clicking sound without the ignition of the burner
