General Electric Dryer Fuse Or Sensor

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.

The Outlet Control Thermistor is an OEM part for GE dryers. This thermistor monitors and regulates the temperature inside the dryer by sending temperature readings to the control board, ensuring the dryer operates at optimal temperatures for efficient drying and preventing overheating.

Causes of a bad outlet control thermistor can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical malfunctions, or exposure to excessive heat.

Symptoms of a bad outlet control thermistor include:

• The dryer overheating or not heating at all
• Inconsistent drying times
• The dryer shutting off prematurely
• Error codes related to temperature issues

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

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.

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
