Product review (5 stars): They worked fine. After watching some generic dryer repair videos on ...
Replacing this part fixed my dryer! My 8 years old GE electric dryer (Model dcvh680ejww) suddenly had no power. Turning it on did nothing, no lights, no sound.. nothing. I did not want to pay for a repairman, so I decided to tackle the problem myself with absolutely no prior experience fixing a dryer.

YMMV but this is what I did. First thing was obviously to check the breaker box and the outlet for power. They worked fine. After watching some generic dryer repair videos on youtube, I proceeded to take a couple of hours just trying to figure out what to look for. I spent a long time looking for a standard fuse (there was none, this is kind of the fuse) and tried unsuccessfully to take the back of the dryer off (you're supposed to take just the top off on my GE model).

I tried testing the other thermostats (kind of similar looking to this) before finally figuring out this hi-limit thermostat was probably the problem. This part is located on the outside top of the heating element on the back of my dryer with two wires connected. The wires slide off the prongs of the hi-limit (some force may be required to pull the wires off). Note: Space is tight to get to this without having to take the dryer front and drum off, so be very careful when replacing this. I dropped a screw and had to jimmy a magnet onto a wire coat hanger to get the screw back. So I ordered a new one, replaced it, and viola my dyer receives power and works now!
