WE17X22217 General Electric Dryer Drum Drive Motor and Wire Harness Kit

Dryer Drum Drive Motor and Wire Harness Kit

This kit is suitable for use when your dryer fails to start. It contains a motor, pulley, and wire harness. The kit is compatible with GE products, including Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore brands.

The Drive Motor Kit is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed specifically for GE dryers. It plays a critical role in driving the drum's rotation, which is necessary for efficiently drying garments.

Drive motor failures may occur due to several reasons such as bearings wearing out, excessive loading of the dryer, accumulation of lint which may cause overheating, and general wear and tear over time.

Indications that the Drive Motor Kit might be failing include:
- The dryer not starting or stopping suddenly.
- Strange noises, such as humming or buzzing, during startup.
- The drum failing to turn even though the dryer is on.
- A burning smell that suggests the motor may be overheating.

This OEM part is also suitable for use with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
