This GE Dryer Thermostat (WE19X22614) is a genuine part specifically designed for GE dryers, ensuring compatibility and seamless operation. This thermostat acts as a crucial component in the dryer's heating system, regulating the heating element input by measuring air temperature and maintaining the optimum drying heat. It operates on the principle of bimetallic strips actuating switches to control the power flow to the heating elements, while also incorporating thermal fuses for overheat protection.
