Description

This thermostat is the temperature-sensing switch that helps the appliance maintain its set temperature for reliable operation. It replaces a failed temperature control that causes improper heating or cooling performance. What it does:

• Senses temperature and opens or closes the circuit to control heating/cooling cycles
• Prevents overheating by interrupting power when temperatures exceed set thresholds
• Restores normal cycling when the control no longer conducts (common with failed thermostats)
• Common symptoms include the appliance not reaching or holding temperature, cycling too frequently, or running continuously

What's included:

• One thermostat

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Follow the appliance service manual for removal and proper wiring location
• Verify electrical continuity of the old and new thermostat with a multimeter before and after installation
