Symptoms involve:
- Repeated thermal cut-off trips mid-cycle
- Inability to select heat settings without errors shown
- Bleach or smoke smells indicating unregulated temperatures
This GE OEM replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Dryer heating for only a short time then no heat at all David N. • Fairfax , CA • December 08, 2018
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...

No heat in gas dryer Peter S. • Glenview , IL • April 23, 2024
Realizing that there could be multiple reasons for a gas dryer failing to heat, I decided to test everything I could. The very detailed and product specific video showed me how to disassemble the dryer. The thermostat, cycling thermostat, high limit, flame detector, igniter, gas valve coils and timer all showed correct continuity or resistance. I thought it might be the gas valve itself, but felt that wasn't likely so I decided to go ahead and replace the thermostats and limit switch since...

Genuine Ge part

Part Number: WE4M80
This replacement part is a high-limit thermostat, and it is intended for use in different types of appliances. This is a genuine replacement part made by General Electric. This high-limit thermostat is typically found in dryers and controls the heat inside the drying tub. This is especially important as different dryer settings require different amounts of heat. If the high limit thermostat works properly, the temperature inside the tub should reach the correct amount during each drying cycle with no issues. A new high-limit thermostat might be needed if the user notices that the dryer is unable to reach the appropriate level of heat for a certain drying cycle. This is also true if the dryer is becoming too hot when the heat is supposed to be set to low. Make sure the dryer is cooled down prior to replacing this part as the areas in the back of the dryer can become very hot during use. Be sure to reference the specific user manual for more instructions on how to replace the thermostat. This thermostat is sold individually and is a genuine OEM part. The thermostat is sourced directly from the manufacturer.

This CCMR 30-amp, 120-volt fuse protects the appliance's electrical circuit by opening when current exceeds safe limits. Replace a blown fuse to restore power to the affected circuit and help prevent damage to internal components.
- Provides overcurrent protection for the circuit specified by the manufacturer
- If the fuse is open, the appliance may be dead, won't start, or certain functions won't operate
- Helps prevent wiring and component damage from shorts or overloads
- Repeated fuse failures indicate an underlying electrical issue requiring diagnosis
What's included: 1 CCMR fuse (30A, 120V) Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
- Locate the fuse in its holder/block and inspect associated wiring for heat or damage
- Test the old fuse for continuity; replace only with the identical rating specified
- Never bypass or upsize a fuse; correct the root cause of the failure before returning to service
