Dryer start button buzzed when turned dryer wouldn't start. David D. • Dallas , TX • December 20, 2020
Looked at the diagnostic help on Appliance Parts Pros.com and the start switch was the problem, but only 25% of the time, so I was a little concerned it may be a different problem. The switch was reasonably priced, so I ordered it and it arrived in two days!
It was very easy to follow the repair video, however, my GE Gas dryer had a lot of screws rather than 2 screws and tabs on the model in the video, so it took a little more time to open up. After turning off the gas and unplugging the...

Part Number: WE4M398
The Inlet Control Thermistor is an OEM part for GE dryers. It monitors and regulates the temperature of the incoming air to ensure optimal drying performance. This thermistor sends temperature readings to the dryer's control board, which adjusts the heating element accordingly to maintain the desired temperature throughout the drying cycle.
You should replace this inlet control thermistor if it becomes faulty or fails to provide accurate temperature readings. Common causes of a bad thermistor include electrical failures, damage from overheating, or wear and tear from regular use.
Symptoms of a bad inlet control thermistor include:
- Dryer not heating properly
- Overheating or uneven drying
- Dryer shutting off prematurely
- Error codes related to temperature issues
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
This part fixes the following symptoms
-
No heat or not enough heat

The ge dryer would stop while in the process of drying Efren P. • Miami , FL • November 18, 2014
Replaced the inlet control thermis (thermostat) . Now it completes the cycle but clothes are not 100 % dry. I would add 15 minutes more and that helps.
FYI: you don't need to remove the drum, just remove the top cover and that will give you enough space to replace the sensor
Thank you Appliance Parts for your fast speed of delivery.

Genuine Ge part
By: Ge
Part Number: WD21X10261
The Interlock Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE electric and gas dryers. This safety component monitors the door closure, preventing operation if the door is not securely closed and latched. The switch measures 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.
Symptoms of a faulty interlock switch include:
- Dryer failing to start or running with the door open
- Timer display not illuminated when start button is pressed
- Inability to open the dryer door during operation
- Dryer suddenly stopping mid-cycle before fully drying clothes
Causes relate to the internal component contacting the door frame over 50,000 open/close cycles potentially exposing wiring to wear. Regular cleaning the external switch area prevents dust or lint buildup skewing performance.
This genuine GE switch is compatible with Hotpoint and RCA dryers as well.
Note: Can be used as a dishwasher door switch on specific models. Check your model number for the most accurate results.

Melted door switch. Christopher K. • Greeneville , TN • February 03, 2024
The full story:
Dishwasher stopped running mid-cycle. When I first began troubleshooting I tried manually advancing the timer knob, and the machine would run. That led me to believe that the actual timer assembly was bad, so I replaced it. The dishwasher ran fine for a day, and then the same problem came back. This time, however, I also had to push in on the door to get it to run. I looked around online, and someone suggested that the door latch wasn't closing tightly enough. I adjusted the...

Refrigerator light switch broken. W W. • Bettendorf , IA • April 20, 2020
I ordered a new switch from APP and fixed my fridge.
However, the video posted for this repair on this site is not applicable to newer refrigerator models.
I have a 2015 GE GTE18IHCRSS and had to drop the control housing (#432 in the diagram) to attach the wire/plug assembly to the switch. Only had to remove the front screw with a 1/4" nut driver and that provided enough of a gap for me to plug in the switch.
So the correct method to replace the light switch in a newer model refrigerator is as...

Background:
Roper Electric Dryer model REX6634RQ0 purchased new in early 2006 by my wife.

Broken timer knob worn out door switch Kurt H. • Quakertown , PA • January 01, 2016
The timer knob simply pulls off the shaft with a solid, steady pull. Cleaned the timer cavity of lint/dust buildup. Aligned the keying flat of the shaft and knob and pushed the new knob on with careful, steady pressure until it was obviously seated. No tools required other than a vacuum.
The door switch would sometimes not shut the dryer off when the door was opened. New switch came with new fast-on connectors. Replacement required opening the top cover of the dryer and hinging it up. This...

Lg dryer no heat Jeffrey J. • Emerald Isle , NC • June 06, 2016
Checked and cleaned vent which was in need of cleaning, but not too bad (I do not consider this a primary causal detail, but can be a problem, so clean yours). Replaced Hi-Limit Thermostat (safety thermostat) after confirming the circuit was open with ohm meter. While I was in there, I completely cleaned the heater and ducting and internal workings of the dryer. Confirmed the heater coils were good via 20ohm, 20ohm, 40ohm readings (LG service manual has wrong readings). Two weeks later, same...

Genuine Ge part
By: Ge
Part Number: WB24X830
This is a monitor or interlock switch that detects whether the microwave door is properly closed before allowing the unit to operate. It is a safety device that shuts off microwave power if the door is open or if other door switches malfunction. Replace this switch if the microwave does not start, runs with the door open, or blows a fuse when the door is closed.

Ge microwave ran when turned off if door was shut Jason A. • Cary , NC • April 02, 2017
The first symptom was our microwave would continue to run after the time was up. The light would go out, the turn table would stop but you could still hear the microwave running and whatever was in it would continue to cook. The only way to stop it was to open the door. It was intermittent at first but eventually it would always run no matter what as long as the door was closed. Several other posts referenced these switches as the problem. I just replaced both and problem gone. It turns out...
