PROCEDURE
INSPECT THERMOSTAT
Tech Tips
The valve opening temperature is inscribed on the thermostat.
Immerse the thermostat in water, and then gradually heat the water.
Check the valve opening temperature.
| Standard valve opening temperature |
|---|
| 80 to 84°C (176 to 183°F) |
If the valve opening temperature is not within the specified range, replace the thermostat.
| *1 | Valve Lift |
Check the valve lift.
| Standard valve lift |
|---|
| 10.5 to 12.5 mm (0.413 to 0.496 in.) at 95°C (203°F) |
If the valve lift is not as specified, replace the thermostat.
Check that the valve is fully closed when the thermostat temperature is below 77°C (171°F).
If the valve is not fully closed, replace the thermostat.
