Description

This high-limit thermostat is a temperature-sensing safety cutoff that stops heat when temperatures get too high to help protect the appliance and surrounding components. It provides a simple, reliable way to interrupt power to the heating circuit when a dangerous temperature is detected. What it does:

• Senses excessive temperature and opens the circuit to stop the heater from continuing to heat
• Commonly replaces a thermostat that has failed open or trips repeatedly
• Can resolve symptoms like no heat after a long run, intermittent heating, or overheating/shutoff during operation
• Acts as a safety device to prevent damage from sustained overheating

What's included:

• One high-limit thermostat

Install notes:

• Always disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing the appliance
• Handle and mount the thermostat carefully; avoid bending or damaging the sensing element
• Reconnect wiring to the same terminals and secure any mounting clips or brackets
