Manufacturer 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.

Clifford, The cycling thermostat should not cause the unit to shut off after a few minutes and it would be recommended to check to see if there is a drag on the motor causing it to shut off. This would be the most likely cause for the issue.

Hello John, you will want to check your venting to make sure it's clear of any obstructions. You can also try to run a load with the dryer not connected to the vent tube to see if that helps. Hope this helps!

Jeff, To test the thermostats you would look for continuity with a multimeter on the part. You can check to see if the igniter is coming on and check for continuity on the flame sensor. If the igniter is coming on and the flame sensor has continuity then the issue will most likely be with the gas coils on the valve.

Hello Eli, The ignitor has to draw 3.2 to 3.6 amps for the gas valve to open. This basically means it can glow red or orange and the gas valve will not open. If it glows yellow to white hot, the gas valve will open. This means the ignitor can glow and still be the problem. Otherwise the issue is most likely the gas valve.
