The Thermistor Assembly is an OEM part for GE dryers. As an integrated sub-assembly, it includes multiple temperature-monitoring thermistors to comprehensively sense heat throughout cycles.
Located in air inlets and outlets, these thermistors provide feedback to regulating components like the control board and heating elements. This allows for consistent thermal operation by maintaining intended temperatures.
Causes of failure can be normal component wear over repeated heat cycles. Mineral buildup, electrical faults, or accidental mishandling may also prematurely impact functioning.
Symptoms of a faulty thermistor assembly include:
- Inability to properly heat or maintain consistent air temperatures
- Unexpected fluctuations outside of set points
- Issues fully completing designated drying cycles
- Potential safety trips from inaccurate temperature readings
This genuine GE replacement ensures precise thermal regulation is fully restored. Compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore dryer models as well, safety and performance reliability are improved.
