DG4720D1W GE Dryer Parts List

Lint filter with frame (dryer lint filter. This filter should be cleaned before every load to ensure proper airflow. If the lint filter is torn or damaged, replace it.)

The lint filter and frame for your dryer traps unwanted lint and debris so your dryer can effectively dry your clothes. If the old lint filter is cracked or clogged, or the dryer takes too long to dry or if excessive lint is accumulating inside the dryer or its venting, you may need to replace the lint filter. To replace the filter, simply remove the old, damaged filter, and replace it with the new one. This part is approximately 13 inches by 3 inches.

Rear drum bearing (rear dryer drum bearing. Be sure to enter your model number to ensure that you have the right bearing for your model.)

This part is the rear dryer drum bearing only. This part helps keep your dryer running smoothly as possible with as little noise as possible.

Front drum slide kit (front drum supports/glides (2), with hardware)

This front drum slide kit comes with two slides with the apppropriate mounting hardware.

Idler pulley wheel (idler pulley wheel with spacer and retainer clip)

This white idler pulley is used for many clothes dryers. A dryer's idler pulley wheel serves to help the belt to rotate the drum.

Adjustable leveling screw (leveling leg, adjustable)

The adjustable leveling screws on the bottom of your dryer can be screwed in or out to lower or raise the leg level. If one of the leveling screws is stripped, damaged, or missing, you may not be able to create a level base for your dryer. The leveling screw has a hexagon-shaped gray plastic foot, with a screw that is approximately 1 inch in length. To replace a damaged screw, simply turn the old screw to the left, until it can be removed. Then, simply screw the new leveling screw into place on the bottom of the dryer, making sure it is the same height as the other 3 leveling screws.

Blower wheel (blower wheel for dryer)

This wheel attaches to the motor.

Door switch (dryer door switch, 3-wire. Use the two smaller terminals for models with only two wires to the switch (no drum light).)

This part has three terminals. Note: Use the two smaller terminals for models that only have two wires to the switch.

This knob accepts a D-shaped shaft.
