• If the original screw is corroded or broken, replace with the same type and length for best fit

This thermostat is a temperature-sensitive switch that controls or limits heat inside the appliance. Replacing a failed unit restores proper temperature control and helps prevent overheating or underheating during operation. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and opens/closes the circuit as designed
• Regulates heating or serves as a safety high-limit cutoff (application-dependent)
• Helps protect components from damage caused by excessive heat
• Common symptoms: no heat or weak heat, overheating/shutting off, inconsistent temperature

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool completely before servicing
• Note wire locations or take a photo; transfer any brackets/insulation from the original if applicable
• Use a multimeter to verify thermostat continuity per service guidelines
• Ensure terminals are fully seated; avoid bending the sensing surface or mounting tab

This temperature control knob replaces a worn or broken thermostat knob so you can set and adjust oven or range temperatures reliably. It restores a secure grip and clear temperature selection for safe, consistent cooking. What it does:

• Rotates smoothly to select oven/range temperature settings and engages the control shaft
• Replaces cracked, stripped, faded, or loose knobs that won't stay set
• Restores tactile feedback and accurate alignment with temperature markings
• Helps resolve symptoms like a spinning or wobbly knob, difficulty selecting temperatures, or missing knob grip

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repairs
• Most installations are simple—pull the old knob straight off the control shaft and push the replacement onto the splined shaft until seated
