• Restores cooling when a faulty or intermittent thermostat causes warm temperatures
• Stops rapid temperature swings and excessive run times when the original control is worn
• Works with the existing wiring harness and mounting location on compatible models

What's included:

• One thermostat

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before attempting replacement to avoid shock or damage
• Replace with the same part number and wire connections; match terminal positions before removing the old thermostat
• Handle the sensor/capillary carefully to avoid kinks or damage that affect performance
