WE4M520 - GE Dryer Switch

This GE Dryer Switch (WE4M520) is a genuine part designed specifically for GE dryers. It's compatible with a wide range of GE dryer models, ensuring a perfect fit and seamless operation. Known also as the Rotary Switch 4Temp, this pivotal component plays a crucial role in the automation of your dryer. Switches, as integral parts of the dryer's electrical system, control the operation of electrical circuits and components based on programming or user interactions. They are utilized in various applications within the dryer, including governing the motors, heaters, and lights. Additionally, door switches are crucial for safety, cutting power when the dryer door is opened to prevent accidents.

Switches enable the intelligent and directed flow of power, thereby automating the dryer’s functionality and improving operational efficiency. However, when switches fail, they disrupt the dryer's operation, making immediate replacement necessary. Symptoms indicating a failing switch include unexpected stopping, failure to start, or abnormal behavior during cycles, which hint at disrupted electrical flow. Before purchasing the GE Dryer Switch (WE4M520), it's crucial to verify your dryer's model number to ensure compatibility.
