Excellent, dryer โtune upโ kit
Appliance guy told me 450.00 for parts and labor. I bought this instead, did what he would have done myself, and my dryer works. I only needed a belt but once I had the front off, I realized I needed the nylon glides or whatever theyโre called. Didnโt need the big round plastic piece. This may save someone some time. Dryer model GE dryer GTD65EBSJ3WS displayed โPauseโ, wouldnโt turn on. Open the door remove the 2 upper screws that hold the top section on Lift the front of the top unscrew the 2 black screws that hold the side panel to the front or door panel Unplug the light wire on the upper left side Front panel will lean down once both screws are out, wiggle it off the 2 tabs at the bottom Front panel will be connected only by door switch wires at this point, no need to unplug them, theyโre long enough to be able to move the front panel out of the way Put rubber side of belt on the inside, against the drum, drape the belt under the drum, pull down the tension pulley, thread belt through the path it will travel, around drum around motor pulley, under tension pulley, to drum Belt should be tight and drum should not spin by hand at this point Put front panel back on the bottom tabs Open the door, lift the drum by hand on top of new slides, they slide right in easy Lift top panel, screw in black screws that connect the both side panels to the front panel Open the door screw in the 2 screws that connect the front panel to top panel Youโre done, start drying your clothes again!

Starting with four stars: Install was a breeze - now to see how long it holds up.
My one top bearing was well beyond worn. I included it in each picture so you can see the similarities (matches perfectly to me). Install is a breeze, on my GE dryer model it was only four screws (two for the top, two for the front) to remove the panel and replace it. I also replaced the felt bearing (not pictured) but held onto the belt since my current one was fine. I'll update when I think about it after it's proved its value. At initial inspection and install though it seems very promising. 2.5 year update: This part failed. Researching more though I found some users reporting a fast failure rate when they are lazy like me and do not replace the belt. I replaced with the same model and this time replaced my (fine-looking) belt. The new belt was some 1-1.5" shorter: meaning my old belt had stretched that much in its life. I am ok to blame the 2.5 year life on the looser belt allowing a sloppier drum bounce. If this new replacement (spring 2024) lasts longer I'll be even happier.

Seems good enough
It fits and easy to install. However it is substantially thinner and flimsier than the original part. A different material too. It feels like an ok short-term solution, but I'll be surprised if it lasts any length of time.

Fixed thumping
Works with our GE dryer that was thumping during the cold weather. Easy replacement.

So cheaply made it was unusable.
Absolute Garbage! If you need a quality dryer rebuild kit, buy certified OEM. These aftermarket kits just keep getting cheaper and flimsier as Chinese manufacturers seek to maximize profits by making the plastic thinner and thinner, and in some cases they don't even remove the flashing or sharp edges that are created during the molding process. The pictures tell the story. I was forced to reuse the existing top bearing because in addition to a broken/incomplete bearing mounting tab, this one was so poorly made that the upper legs would not snap in place. But I needed the dryer fixed immediately so I couldn't wait for a replacement. These online sources drove our local parts shops out of business so now we're stuck. I should have spent a little more money and bought OEM. In case you're wondering, I had a TV & Appliance repair business back in the late 60's through the early 80's and I've repaired dozens of dryers. Probably more than 50. This should have been a quick and easy fix.

Easy install & Fit great and fixed my dryer noise issue
Easy install & Fit great. Replacing dryer bearings fixed my dryer noise issue and replacing the upper housing & felt just seemed to make sense since itโs also right there.. Material quality seems cheaper than original part but for the price thatโs pretty normal. Been 3 weeks and havent had any issues with it yet.
