Description

This thermostat monitors appliance temperature and opens or closes its electrical contacts to regulate heat and protect against overheating. Replacing a failed thermostat restores consistent temperature control and reliable appliance operation. What it does:

• Senses temperature at its mounting location and switches the circuit on/off to regulate heat
• Helps protect the unit by opening the circuit if temperature exceeds its design limit
• A failing thermostat can cause no heat, overheating/shutoffs, or erratic temperature cycling
• Restores correct temperature control when the original thermostat is stuck open/closed or out of tolerance

What's included:

• 1 thermostat

Install notes:

• Disconnect power; shut off gas supply and allow the appliance to cool completely
• Note wire positions or take a photo; transfer wires one at a time to the new thermostat
• Mount the thermostat flush to the mating surface; reuse proper fasteners for a secure fit
• After installation, monitor initial operation and address airflow/venting or lint buildup that could cause overheating
