Customer Questions and Answers for Thermostat by Lg

This thermostat is a temperature-sensing safety switch that opens the circuit if overheating occurs. Replacing a failed thermostat restores proper protection and helps the appliance run and heat reliably without nuisance shutdowns.

• Monitors temperature at its mounting point and opens the circuit when excess heat is detected
• Helps protect heating components and wiring from heat damage
• Failure may cause no heat, shutdown during use, or operation only after cooling
• Useful when the original thermostat is stuck open or trips repeatedly

• Disconnect power before servicing and allow the appliance to cool completely
• Note wire locations and transfer leads one at a time; ensure snug terminal fits
• Mount firmly and flush to the intended surface for correct thermal contact; do not overtighten
• If servicing a microwave, high-voltage components can be hazardous.
