What a thermostat does and how it fails

A thermostat switches power on and off to hold a set temperature, or cuts power when something gets too hot. When it fails, the appliance may not heat or cool at all, run constantly, overshoot the temperature, or cycle on and off erratically. Some failures are visible, such as burnt terminals or a broken capillary tube, but many aren't. A continuity and switching test with a multimeter, done safely by someone qualified, will usually confirm whether the thermostat is at fault.

Replacing a thermostat

Where the thermostat has a sensing bulb or capillary, follow the original route and clips exactly. Refit all covers before testing.
