WE4M216 - GE Dryer Thermostat

This GE Dryer Thermostat (WE4M216) is a genuine part specifically designed for GE dryers. Thermostats in dryers play a crucial role by regulating the heating element's input based on measured air temperatures, ensuring your clothes dry efficiently without overheating. They rely on bimetallic strips to actuate switches that control the power flow to the heating elements and include thermal fuses that provide a cutoff in case of overheating. Incorrect temperature regulation or a failure to cycle the heating elements optimally are common signs that your appliance's thermostat may need troubleshooting or replacement. This specific thermostat is located on the blower wheel and is essential for maintaining the correct drying temperature. Symptoms indicating it may be time to replace your thermostat include inaccurate temperature regulations or failure of the clothes to dry properly. Before purchasing, we advise you to verify your dryer's model number to ensure compatibility with this part.
