WE4M398 - GE Dryer Thermostat

This GE Dryer Thermostat (WE4M398) is a genuine part specifically designed for GE dryers. It's crafted to regulate the heating element's power based on the air temperature inside the dryer, ensuring your clothes dry efficiently and safely. This component uses bimetallic strips to activate switches that control the power flow to the heating elements, while also incorporating a thermal fuse for overheat protection. Essentially, it acts as the brain for your dryer's heating operations, accurately cycling the heating elements to maintain the optimal air temperature for drying. If your dryer has been underperforming in terms of heating, taking longer to dry clothes, or overheating, it might be time to look into replacing the thermostat. Always verify your dryer model number to ensure this part is compatible before purchasing.
