Description

The Thermostat is an OEM part for GE dryers. It senses and monitors air temperatures inside the dryer drum during cycles to ensure they remain within a designated range. As a safety component, the thermostat automatically cuts power if temperatures get too high, protecting the dryer.

The causes of a bad thermostat can be normal wear and tear over time. Repeated exposure to high heat, mineral deposits, electrical faults, or physical impacts may also cause premature malfunction. 

Symptoms of a bad thermostat include:

• The dryer fails to heat air properly during cycles
• Unexpected fluctuation of temperatures inside the drum
• Inaccurate temperature readings that impact drying performance
• Potential overheating errors or safety issues  

This OEM GE replacement thermostat restores the dryer's ability to gauge and regulate safe air temperatures as intended once more. Some Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore models may also be compatible.
