Description

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.
