GE Thermal Fuse - WE4X857

This Thermal Fuse (WE4X857) is a genuine part for GE home appliances and is compatible with GE brands. Also known as a "fuse thermal," this critical safety component is designed to trip at a higher temperature than the high limit thermostat. Its role is significant in preventing overheating by cutting off electrical power to the heating element when the temperature exceeds safe limits. A malfunctioning thermal fuse may result in your appliance failing to heat properly or not turning on at all, signaling it's time for a replacement. For proper installation and operation, it's crucial to verify your device's model number for compatibility before purchasing.
