Description

This thermostat monitors temperature in the appliance's heating circuit and opens or closes the electrical contacts to control heat and protect against overheating. Replacing a failed thermostat restores consistent heating performance and reliable safety shutoff. What it does:

• Senses temperature and cycles the heating circuit on and off to maintain target heat
• Provides over-temperature protection by opening the circuit if conditions exceed safe limits
• Helps prevent nuisance shutdowns caused by erratic temperature readings
• Common failure symptoms include no heat, inaccurate temperatures, short-cycling, or shutdown during high heat

What's included:

• 1 thermostat

Install notes:

• Disconnect power (and gas supply if applicable) before servicing; allow all components to cool completely
• Access the thermostat per your service manual; document wire locations and transfer one at a time
• Mount the thermostat securely so the sensing surface/bulb is correctly positioned; avoid kinking or pinching any leads
• After installation, verify proper operation and temperature performance
