Description

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

Causes of a faulty thermistor outlet can include normal wear over repeated uses and heat cycles. Mineral scale buildup may impact sensor accuracy as well. Electrical faults could also potentially disrupt functioning.

Symptoms of a bad thermistor outlet include:

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

This OEM GE replacement ensures proper outlet temperature sensing once installed. Compatible with some Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore dryers as well.
