• Helps maintain the temperature you set on the control dial
• Failure symptoms include: unit too warm or too cold, runs continuously, won't start until the knob is moved/tapped, or erratic temperature swings

• 1 thermostat

• Disconnect power before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves
• Note wire positions or take a photo; transfer the dial/shaft and any mounting hardware from the old control if reused
• Route the capillary bulb exactly as original; do not kink, pinch, or cut it; secure with existing clips
• After install, set to a mid setting and allow up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize
