Common Symptoms

Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect electrical power before inspection or testing.
- Inspect the thermostat terminals and nearby wiring for loose, damaged, or heat-discolored connections.
- With power disconnected, a qualified technician may check thermostat continuity according to the appliance service documentation; do not bypass the safety thermostat.
