• Stops power to the heating element or gas valve to prevent unsafe over-temperature conditions
• Commonly replaced when oven fails to heat correctly or trips off during baking
• Works as a protective safety device; not an electronic temperature controller

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before attempting replacement
• Handle gently; bimetal element and terminals can be damaged by bending or impact
• Confirm wiring placement and terminal fit before powering the appliance
