Customer Questions and Answers for Dryer Cycling Thermostat by Ge

Hello Myles. Yes, the bias thermostat WE4M216 could cause a dryer to run hot. Also, the safety thermostat WE4M160 could cause it to over heat, as well as a restricted vent. You need to remove the vent from the dryer and test the air coming out of the back of the dryer. See if it goes up and then down. If so, the vent may be the problem. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps.http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
