Thermostat

The Thermostat can be tested with an Ohmmeter.

To Test the Thermostat:

1. Disconnect the wire connectors from the thermostat terminals.

2. Set it to the ON position.

3. Set the volt-ohm meter to the Rx1 scale.

4. Place the probes of a VOM on the two terminals. The VOM should read continuity.

5. Set it to the OFF position.

6. Place the probes of a VOM on the two terminals. The VOM should read infinity (open

circuit).

NOTE:

This check only varifies continuity through the thermostat switch, not the

accuracy of the temperature sensing mechanism.
