Description
Regulate the drying temperature precisely with the GE WE4M181 Inlet Control Thermostat. This OEM component monitors the temperature entering the heat chamber and signals the control to cycle the heat on or off, ensuring clothes dry correctly without overheating or under-drying.
Features & Benefits:
- Monitors inlet air temperature to maintain the desired heat level for the cycle.
- Features a metallic mounting plate for secure installation near the heating element.
- Genuine GE OEM part ensures correct temperature calibration.
- Restores proper heat cycling when the dryer is running too hot or too cool.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement:
- Dryer temperature regulation is erratic (cycles too hot or too cool).
