Is that tube filled with Freon? I thought that the tube transmitted pressure to the switch, with pressure varied by the temperature of the freon tube that the capillary is laid on, under the insulating black stuff?

Also, I thought that if the tube is broken, freon escapes and the switch is rendered useless and unreparable.

Am I on target?

Thanks,

Bob
