✅ Cross Reference Information

WE4M181

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.
