Description

This temperature-sensing thermostat monitors and regulates appliance temperature to restore proper cycling and consistent performance. Replacing a failed thermostat helps resolve temperature drift and heating or cooling irregularities. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and opens/closes the electrical circuit to control heating or cooling components.
• Restores correct on/off cycling so the appliance reaches and maintains the intended temperature.
• Common symptoms it can address: unit won't reach target temperature, runs too long or too short, or temperature fluctuates.
• Works as a safety and control device to prevent thermal extremes when functioning properly.

What's included: One thermostat. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair to avoid shock or injury.
• Access may require removing exterior or interior panels; keep track of screws and fasteners.
• Match wiring terminals and orientation to the original thermostat; do not force connectors.
