• Restores normal heating control when a failed thermostat causes no heat or continuous heating
• Works as a safety/limit device in the appliance's heating system

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the thermostat and sensing element gently; avoid bending or stressing terminals
• Refer to the appliance service manual or OEM instructions for proper placement and mounting
