Answer

Hi Randall. All thermostats are normally closed. They open for a safety issue that part is # 279769. However there is a thermal fuse on top of the blower hsg. with 2-wires connecting it,part # WP3390719 this will open the heat also. The cycling thermostat next to it needs to be normally closed also. Part # WP3387134. Remember to now and a couple of times/yr. to clean the entire vent system including the vent cap outside for proper opening and closing or the part will immediately fail and you will have to begin again. Thank You.
