The Inlet Control Thermistor is an OEM part for GE dryers. It monitors and regulates the temperature of the incoming air to ensure optimal drying performance. This thermistor sends temperature readings to the dryer's control board, which adjusts the heating element accordingly to maintain the desired temperature throughout the drying cycle.
You should replace this inlet control thermistor if it becomes faulty or fails to provide accurate temperature readings. Common causes of a bad thermistor include electrical failures, damage from overheating, or wear and tear from regular use.
Symptoms of a bad inlet control thermistor include:
- Dryer not heating properly
- Overheating or uneven drying
- Dryer shutting off prematurely
- Error codes related to temperature issues
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The ge dryer would stop while in the process of drying Efren P. • Miami , FL • November 18, 2014
Replaced the inlet control thermis (thermostat) . Now it completes the cycle but clothes are not 100 % dry. I would add 15 minutes more and that helps.
FYI: you don't need to remove the drum, just remove the top cover and that will give you enough space to replace the sensor
