General Electric Dryer Fuse Or Sensor

The High Limit Thermostat is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is a safety device that prevents the dryer from overheating by cutting off power to the heating element if the temperature exceeds a safe limit. This helps protect the dryer and the user from potential fire hazards.

Causes of a bad high limit thermostat can include electrical faults, repeated exposure to high temperatures, or wear and tear over time. When the thermostat fails, it may either keep the dryer from heating or cause it to overheat.

Symptoms of a bad high limit thermostat include:

• The dryer not heating at all
• The dryer overheating and shutting down mid-cycle
• Clothes taking longer than usual to dry
• The dryer running but not producing any heat

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Thermistor Inlet is an OEM part for GE dryers. As a temperature monitoring device, it senses air inlet temperatures entering the dryer drum each cycle. This thermistor provides feedback to regulating components like the control board and heating elements.

Symptoms of a faulty thermistor inlet include:  

• Unexpected fluctuation of inlet air temperatures
• Issues activating or deactivating heating elements as needed  
• Potential safety trips from inaccurate temperature readings
• Improper or inconsistent drying times

Causes of a bad thermistor can be normal wear over repeated uses and heat cycles. Mineral scale buildup may also impact sensor accuracy over time. Electrical faults could potentially disrupt functioning.

This OEM GE replacement ensures proper inlet temperature sensing once installed. Compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore dryers as well, it maintains safe, consistent performance through accurate temperature feedback to dryer electronics.

This thermostat control replaces the oven's temperature-regulating switch to help restore accurate bake and broil temperatures. It helps the oven reach and hold the set temperature for more consistent cooking results. What it does:

• Senses oven temperature and cycles the heating element or gas valve to maintain the selected temperature.
• Restores consistent bake and broil performance when the oven overheats, underheats, or cycles on and off erratically.
• Can resolve issues with uneven cooking, long preheat times, or temperature that doesn't match the setpoint.
• Interfaces with the oven control harness to manage temperature regulation during cooking cycles.

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker before starting any repair.
• Handle the control carefully to avoid damage to terminals and mounting hardware.
• Verify wire connections and routing before restoring power; secure mounting per the oven's service instructions.

This safety thermostat detects excessive heat and stops power to the heating system to help prevent overheating and thermal damage. It's a direct-replacement safety cut-out for compatible GE appliances. What it does:

• Opens the circuit when internal temperatures exceed safe limits to shut off the heating element
• Helps prevent overheating, reducing risk of component damage or fire
• Restores normal operation only after cooldown or replacement, depending on design
• Commonly used on ovens, ranges and other heating appliances as a thermal safety device

• One safety thermostat

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Note and mark wiring locations or take a photo before removing the old thermostat
• Replace only with the exact part; improper parts may void safety features
