Description

This fixed thermostat monitors temperature and opens the circuit at its factory set point to protect components and control heating performance. Replacing a failed thermostat helps restore proper heat function and prevents nuisance shutdowns or overheating. What it does:

• Senses temperature and opens the circuit when its fixed threshold is reached
• Protects heaters, motors, and wiring from over-temperature conditions
• Common failure symptoms: no heat, overheating, erratic cycling, or safety shutdowns
• Restores consistent heating operation when the original thermostat has failed

What's included:

• 1 fixed thermostat

Install notes:

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow hot surfaces to cool
• Access the thermostat, note wire orientation, and transfer any bracket/insulation from the old part
• Ensure firm thermal contact and secure mounting as originally installed
• After replacement, correct root causes of overheating (restricted airflow/venting, failed relays, etc.) and verify operation
