Ge WE4M398 Inlet Control Thermistor OEM Part

Replaced the inlet control thermis (thermostat) . Now it completes the cycle but clothes are not 100 % dry. I would add 15 minutes more and that helps. FYI: you don't need to remove the drum, just remove the top cover and that will give you enough space to replace the sensor Thank you Appliance Parts for your fast speed of delivery.

GE Gas Dryer Model DBVH512GF1WW began to heat for only a short amount of time so drying clothes took WAY too long. Read online that the first thing to replace are the solenoids. Bought the two solenoids from AppliancePartsPros.com for about $50 total, and it seems to have fixed the problem. Had to watch a few videos to learn to disassemble the dryer, and the job took a couple of hours, but now that I know what I'm doing it could be done in less than 30 minutes. Also, the old solenoids tested for correct range of resistance (and nearly exactly matched the resistance of the brand new ones) but apparently they can test ok when cold and then fail to work properly when in use. Could have ordered same two solenoids online for $10 (guess where?) but they would not be original GE parts and I read some reviews suggesting the cheaper ones could easily fail in a year or less. Probably worth the extra $40 to get original parts. WIll change my rating from 4 to 5 stars if the solenoids hold up and are confirmed to be the solution to the heating problem.

Checked vent first to see if there was a blockage. Removed top, front and drum of dryer. Replaced all sensors including flame detection and gas valve coils. Re-assembled and tested. Dryer was now heating

Inlet Thermostat failed. Easy test, no continuity, replaced it. All good now.

When I confirmed and make sure all the sensor where working, I found one was not working.
