This thermostat is a temperature-sensitive safety switch for range and wall-oven systems. It opens or closes its electrical contacts at a set temperature to help regulate heat, protect components, and keep the appliance operating safely and reliably.

• Senses temperature and opens/closes the circuit at its calibrated threshold
• Helps prevent overheating by interrupting power when excessive heat is detected
• Automatically resets once temperatures drop, depending on design and application
• Common failure signs include no heat, heat dropping out during preheat/bake, or no continuity through the thermostat when cool

• Disconnect power at the breaker; if gas, also shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Access the part per your model; photograph wiring and move connectors to the new thermostat one at a time
• Reinstall in the original orientation and location so it senses heat correctly; do not alter factory routing
• After installation, run a brief test cycle to confirm normal operation
