I'm afraid I did not get you right. When you said "impeller", which part did you mean:

The motor pulley



or

The blower wheel


?

If we are talking about the motor pulley, it has a screw which could be tighten.

If we are talking about the blower wheel - it also has a screw which could be tighten and if it would not help then it has to be replaced.

The motor shaft should not play and if it does - the motor has to be replaced.

- The part number for the motor (including the motor pulley) is AP2043550

- The part number for the blower wheel is AP2043548

Here are the break down diagrams for the GE dryer Model DPSF495GV0WW
