Range won't heat or keeps tripping? This thermal circuit breaker protects your range from electrical overload. Moderate DIY repair in 30-45 minutes.

This thermostat senses appliance temperature and helps the control maintain proper cooling. It replaces a failed temperature switch to restore reliable temperature regulation and protect components from overheating. What it does

• Monitors temperature and signals the control board or compressor to turn cooling on or off
• Prevents overheating by opening the circuit when temperatures exceed safe limits
• Commonly replaced when the appliance does not reach or maintain the correct temperature
• Can stop intermittent cooling or continuous-run symptoms when the original thermostat fails

• One thermostat as shown

• For experienced DIYers only; disconnect power before servicing
• Follow manufacturer instructions and verify correct part placement and wiring before restoring power
• Do not modify the part; use proper tools and replacement hardware

This fixed thermostat monitors and helps regulate appliance temperature to maintain safe operation and reliable cooling/heating. It replaces a worn or failed thermostat to restore proper cycling and temperature control. What it does:

• Opens or closes a circuit at a set temperature to control heating or cooling cycles
• Prevents continuous run by signaling the system to stop when the desired temperature is reached
• Commonly used to address symptoms like no temperature control, compressor or heater running nonstop, or failure to reach set temperature
• Works as a safety/control device to reduce risk of overheating when operating correctly

• One fixed thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Locate and access the thermostat per your model's service instructions (typically mounted near the evaporator, heater, or air path)
• Handle carefully and avoid bending or damaging terminals; verify function with a multimeter if equipped
