PROCEDURE
INSPECT THERMOSTAT
Tech Tips
The valve opening temperature is inscribed on the thermostat.
| *a | 76°C |
Immerse the thermostat in water and then gradually heat the water.
Check the valve opening temperature.
| Valve opening temperature |
|---|
| 74 to 78°C (165 to 172°F) |
If the valve opening temperature is not within the specified range, replace the thermostat.
| *a | Valve Lift |
Check the valve lift.
| Valve lift |
|---|
| 10 mm (0.394 in.) or more at 90°C (194°F) |
If the valve lift is not as specified, replace the thermostat.
Check that the valve is fully closed when the thermostat is at low temperatures (below 40°C (104°F)).
If not fully closed, replace the thermostat.
