GE Dryer (model DBXR463ED2WW) does not cycle to lower temp
 

My GE dryer (model DBXR463ED2WW) drys at a high temp even when the temp selector is set to a low temp. Is this a thermostat prob? I have searched and found a high limit thermo and cycling thermo. Do I need to replace both of just one or is this prob from something all together different? Thanks in advance for your feedback!:)

Hi,

What makes you believe that? What where the temp readings?

This unit will get different temps by using both elements, using one of the two elements, sending power to a small heater in the operating ( cycling ) thermostat so it will cycle faster or slower for different temps.

Hi Jeff, I described the problem incorrectly. The dryer drys at a high temp even when the temp selector is set to a low temp.

If getting too hot I'd check the heating element to make sure it is not grounded to ground and staying on all the time....if ok for sure check/change the operating ( cycling ) thermostat as it controls the normal on and off temps through the drying process.
