Why do you think it has to be replaced? Here are the break down diagrams for the GE dryer Model DBXR453EA0WW Gene.

The part is # 311 on diagram 4 "front air duct assembly." This is actually actually the inside (tumbler side) of the of the air flow vent that hold the lint filter. The square grid has a vertical crack and the top lip which forms an angle edge on the rim of the opening is cracked. Clothes catch on these edges. Really bad design!!

Open the door and remove screws secured the top panel through the door frame. Remove the screw on each side of the bottom of the front panel.Lift the top panel up and remove the screw on each side of the top panel. Gene.
