WE4X600 - GE Dryer Thermostat

This GE Dryer Thermostat (WE4X600) is a genuine GE part, designed specifically for GE dryers. It serves as a cycling thermostat with a limit of 145 degrees Fahrenheit and a differential of 15 degrees. This means the thermostat allows the dryer’s heating element to cut out at 145 degrees Fahrenheit and kick back in when the internal temperature drops by 15 degrees. Dryer thermostats use bimetallic strips to actuate switches that control the power flow to the heating elements, and they include thermal fuses as a safety feature for overheat cutoffs. Utilizing this thermostat ensures your dryer precisely cycles its heating elements to maintain optimized air temperatures for proper drying. Inaccurate temperature regulation often indicates that the thermostat may require troubleshooting or replacement. Symptoms of a failing GE Dryer Thermostat include a dryer that is not heating to the correct temperature or not heating at all, making this part crucial for ensuring your appliance operates correctly. Before purchasing, customers should verify their device's model number to ensure compatibility.
