• Move wires to the new switch one at a time to maintain correct positions

• Helps prevent thermal cutoffs caused by restricted airflow or faulty temperature regulation

• Disconnect power before servicing; for gas models, also shut off the gas supply
• Access location is typically on the blower/exhaust housing; note wire positions and transfer one at a time
• Ensure the thermostat mounts flush for proper sensing; tighten screws securely
