Description

This thermostat is a temperature-sensitive switch that controls or limits heat inside the appliance. Replacing a failed unit restores proper temperature control and helps prevent overheating or underheating during operation. What it does:

• Senses internal temperature and opens/closes the circuit as designed
• Regulates heating or serves as a safety high-limit cutoff (application-dependent)
• Helps protect components from damage caused by excessive heat
• Common symptoms: no heat or weak heat, overheating/shutting off, inconsistent temperature

What's included:

• 1 thermostat

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool completely before servicing
• Note wire locations or take a photo; transfer any brackets/insulation from the original if applicable
• Use a multimeter to verify thermostat continuity per service guidelines
• Ensure terminals are fully seated; avoid bending the sensing surface or mounting tab
