This mechanical thermostat is the appliance's temperature control. It senses internal temperature and opens or closes its electrical contacts to cycle the system, helping the unit reach and maintain the setting you select for consistent performance.

• Regulates temperature by switching power to the cooling or heating circuit as needed
• Helps prevent overcooling/overheating and unstable temperatures
• Common symptoms: runs constantly or won't start, temperature too warm or too cold, short-cycling, no response to knob/setting changes
• Visual damage, burnt terminals, or a thermostat that fails continuity tests indicate replacement

What's included: 1 thermostat Installation notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Document wire locations; transfer wires one at a time and secure all connections
• If your unit uses a sensing bulb/capillary, route and secure it exactly as original; do not kink or sharply bend it
• Verify correct mounting and smooth knob/shaft movement, then restore power and test
