• Provides the bias function used by automatic cycles for correct temperature control
• Failure symptoms can include no heat or low heat, long dry times, overheating or high-limit trips, and inconsistent cycling temperatures
• 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
• After replacement, verify good airflow and clear venting to prevent repeat failures
