WE4M448 General Electric Outlet Control Thermistor for Dryers

Outlet Control Thermistor for Dryers

This part is an OEM replacement thermistor for GE dryers, essential for monitoring the exhaust air temperatures during the drying process. The brands that use this component include Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, and Profile. Additionally, it is compatible with certain models from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore.

A thermistor typically fails due to the wear and tear of its temperature-sensitive elements or moisture damage resulting from inadequate venting. When a thermistor fails, it may lead to several issues such as:

- Difficulty in detecting when the laundry is dry, resulting in clothes that are not adequately dried.
- Increased drying times because the dryer cannot correctly regulate the temperature.
- Cycles ending prematurely, leaving clothes damp.
- The risk of overheating in the dryer due to ineffective temperature control.

Replacing a faulty thermistor is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and safety of your dryer.
