G8P 1A4P 12VDC Hermetically Sealed Relay for Panel Mounting, 250VAC Review

The relay was well packaged and the contacts were covered in foam. Well protected. All contact points are perfectly matched to the circuit board. It took longer to disconnect the wires from the board than to solder the relay. This was a very simple and economical fix for my dryer. Dreier is now about 11 years old. I replaced the heating element (including here with Revain) and now this. Under $20 for a repair while a mechanic and new circuit board is well over $300. Half the cost of a new…

only. This is an OEM replacement for the Dryer Motor Control Board Relay. In fact, in most cases the relay does not fail, the track around one of the relay contacts simply breaks. Sometimes the contact burns out so badly that it is very difficult to solder it, and it's easier to just replace the relay to avoid bad soldering during repairs. With the rail broken you need to make a small loop on the wire to put it over the pin and solder the pin, wire and rail back together. The wire should…

Received 2 packs. The build quality looks good from the outside. One of the relays has 5 pins, the other has 4. Trust me, they are electrically identical. I used a 4 pin relay to replace a blown relay in my dryer (see model name). Worked and works a month later. You will need soldering skills for this replacement. Check out some videos on YouTube. Tips from one newbie to another on soldering/desoldering: - If you don't already have a decent soldering station, invest and buy one for $40. With…
