GE Appliances Dryer Cycling Thermostat - 4-wire WG04F03775, Replaces WE4M181

Genuine OEM GE dryer cycling/operating thermostat, inlet-biased, L210-30F. It has four terminals, opens at 210°F, and re-closes approximately 30°F lower to regulate dryer temperature.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Dryer is not drying properly
• No heat or insufficient heat
• Dryer becomes too hot
• Drying cycle ends too soon

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect power before accessing or testing the dryer.
• Confirm the appliance model calls for this four-terminal, 210°F inlet cycling thermostat before ordering or installing.
• Inspect the thermostat terminals and connected wiring for loose connections or visible heat damage.
• If qualified to use a multimeter, isolate the thermostat from the dryer circuit and perform a continuity check; continuity alone at room temperature does not confirm that it cycles at its specified temperatures.
• Do not diagnose this thermostat from symptoms alone, because other dryer components can produce similar heating and drying complaints.

Installation Notes

• Disconnect electrical power before service.
• Use the model-specific parts diagram and wiring layout for access and reassembly; cabinet disassembly differs by dryer model.
