Thermostat replacement, any help? 700 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be Napoleon on  Tue Jan 29 10:47 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Your thermostat may be OK. It is not a hard job to change, but make sure that you get a gasket when you get the thermostat. A couple of things to consider. Is your heater working well? As well as it did last winter? If so, you may be suffering from a loose connection behind the dash cluster.

You can test the thermostat by removing it and suspending it in a pan of water. Heat the water on the stove. If it opens when the water reaches the temperature stamped on the thermostat and closes again when it cools off, it is OK. You will need the gasket anyway if you open it up to look at it.
