$160 hi limit thermostat on ge dryer WTF?
schleven:
I have to go see a customer in the morning with a ge dryer no heat. model number DVL223GA0WW. I like to be prepared and make sure I have the common things. I looked to see what safety thermostat it uses and the diagram shows me this part number : WE04X10017
ses My local parts store shows it is very expensive and i think it must be an error. so I go to repair clinic and it is listed at $160!
Really? looks like a regular old thermostat to me.
Whats the deal with that?
AJ:
Wow, that has to be the most insane mark up I have ever seen on any part.
Maybe someday it will be cheaper for us to buy new appliances and part them out instead or ordering new parts.
schleven:
The control stat is $80. Its the most basic dryer too. Hopefully th igniter is the problem :P
AJ:
You could look for a generic L180 thermostat if nothing else. I don't see anything special with the WE04X10017
AJ:
Guess the mount is different then what I was thinking on this one.
