How easy is it to fit a thermostat on a fridge?

had it checked by an engineer who said it needed the thermostat changed. I know where it is located and wondered if i could do the job myself,How easy is it to fit a thermostat on a fridge?
Just because the engineer said you need a thermostat, dosen't make it so. Very rarely do thermostats fail. If the ref. is not cold enough, you could have one of three problems. defrost, compressor, or the light in the ref. section is staying on 24/7. Only suspect the thermostat if it is too cold. I'm sure you already checked your door gaskets. Not knowing where your thermostat is located it would be a hard question to answer.How easy is it to fit a thermostat on a fridge?
unfortunately these kind of thermos cannot be repaired or recalibrated.if the termao is not keeping the fridge at least 40 deg then chaning it is the only solution. it is a hassle changing them in newer models.

How do i know if it is time to "Change" a Thermostat?

I mean, if i can see the Coolant level %26quot;Go Down%26quot; when the Fan comes on then i know its working, also if i DO have Heat, right? Is this an either %26quot;The Thermostat Works or the Thermostat does not work%26quot; Item?How do i know if it is time to %26quot;Change%26quot; a Thermostat?
Correct. You can also put the thermostat in boiling water, if it opens, it's working. If it doesn't, it's NOT working. Water boils at a temperature higher than most thermostats, so if it stays closed, it's toast ...How do i know if it is time to %26quot;Change%26quot; a Thermostat?
Yeah for the most part the thermostat either opens or it doesn't. When it doesn't you'll overheat ... You could just change it out because of mileage... It's definitely a part you don't want to go bad.... And doesn't get replaced often unless it just goes bad...

Kind of like your transmission filter.... I bet it's never been changed... Ever! right?

Is It OK to drive a car without the thermostat? If yes, for how Long?

I'm assuming that my thermostat sensor or something is not functioning properly. When I drive my car, the top radiator hose is hot but the bottom isn't. My car tends to overheat about an hour of driving it. I change the thermostat but the problem still exist. What could be the problem?Is It OK to drive a car without the thermostat? If yes, for how Long?
I'll just give you the simple answer good for %26quot;most%26quot; vehicles..... yes, it's ok..... but in winter it will take much longer for your heat to work, as you aren't letting the water to heat up long enough to produce heat. without the thermostat, the water/anti-freeze will free flow through your engine and radiator.Is It OK to drive a car without the thermostat? If yes, for how Long?
this is a bad idea. you will definitely see some adverse effects in this situation. the coolant will take quite a while to warm up . this will cause a big change in your fuel economy. it sounds like you have a blockage in the radiator. if the upper hose gets hot (like it should) but the lower end stats cool you either have a blockage or a failed pump. on some of the newer cars you can find an electric water pump this could present a problem in your situation if nothing else is obvious, like stiff steering or a charge lamp that stays on. this would all signify a thrown belt.

Are the radiator fans coming on? If so, you could measure the temp of the upper rad hose with a laser thermometer and see what the actual temp is. maybe your gauge is not reading right.Is It OK to drive a car without the thermostat? If yes, for how Long?
Could be a huge airlock or blocked rad core.Is It OK to drive a car without the thermostat? If yes, for how Long?
Again, I wish you'd have included the year make and model of your car. If it has electric fans are they switching on? If so do you have the original radiator? How old is the car? Do you have a silicone filled thermostatic mechanically driven fan hub? Do the blades speed up as the temperature rises? Have you ever used any products along with the antifreeze such as Barr's Leak or ant brand of stop leak? Do you still have plenty of heat coming from the heater?



As a general rule of thumb drain the radiator and flush the system with a Prestone flushing T in the return hose from the heater core. Flush till the water is clear. Drain the radiator of the clear water. Dump two 33.5 oz. plastic bottles of **Prestone Super Radiator Cleaner in the radiator. If it will not all fit. Pull off your coolant recovery tank and clean it out with Wisk and a round bristle brush. Dump the remainder of the cleaner inside the coolant recovery tank. Auto Zone and Advance Auto has this product. Do not substitute with anything else!



This cleaner is unlike the other Prestone product: Prestone Radiator Flush. The instructions say to actually drive a minimum of 200 miles with the cleaner inside the cooling system. At the end of the bare minimum 200 miles flush and drain again till the water is clear.



At this time install a new Stant or AC-Delco thermostat (correct heat range) and a new closed system radiator pressure cap -minimum 13 lb. If this car were mine I'd drive it a week with nothing but pure water and a bottle of NAPA'S cooling system anti-rust so as not to waste expensive antifreeze if the radiator, radiator hoses are collapsed in the center or radiator core is seriously plugged with corrocion, rust or stop leak. If the motor runs within its normal heat zone for a week or two, drain and flush and do your antifreeze thing.



Please be sure you're using the proper type of antifreeze. Buy a couple gallons of 100% antifreeze. When ever you re-fill any cooling system look in your handbook in the specifications page and find the cooling systems capacity. Pour exactly half the capacity first with 100% antifreeze. Make sure the coolant recovery bottle is clean. fill the coolant recovery bottle with any antifreeze you were unable to fill in the radiator. For the first week or two keep the coolant recovery bottle nearly full with water only after half the capacity of the cooling system has been met with 100% antifreeze. The coolant will drop noticeably during the first week or two of driving keep it a minimum of 3/4 filled at all times. The heat cycling of the coolant purges air from the cooling system causing the water leval to drop. This will stop at the end of 100 -200 miles of on and off driving.

Changing a thermostat on a '99 Plymouth Neon?

Can anyone comment on how difficult is it to change the thermostat on a '99 Plymouth Neon?? Parts run $25 bucks, but I would like to save labor if possible. Thanks.Changing a thermostat on a %26039;99 Plymouth Neon?
its pretty easy find the radiator the big silver thing in the frontthen find the upper hose and find where it meets the engine there there will be a couple of studs take those out lift it off and pull out the thermostat out of the hose and then put in the new one THE RIGHT WAY and put the hose back on and make sure the temp of the new thermostat is the sameChanging a thermostat on a %26039;99 Plymouth Neon?
follow the top radiator hose to the motor. unscrew the tobolts and take off the hose clamps. lift the metal spout the two bolt were holding down and theres the thermostat. You'll lose a little antifreeze, so you need to add back. I recomend the pre-mixed stuff.Changing a thermostat on a %26039;99 Plymouth Neon?
it not something you can do, if you aint familar with car and tools

How hard is it to change a thermostat please.?

We have a Honeywell Thermostat in our house, combination cooling and heat, looks like it has gone out as we have redid the pilot light and the cool will not come on,nor the heat, therefore, we think it is the thermostat, is it very hard to change, it looks like you just unscrew it and disconnect the wires and reconnect a new one in the same place. It is only 3 yrs. old, we also changed the batteries with no luck,it doesn't look like it would be too hard, a little scary for someone who has never done it. Any help appreciated, just daughter and mom living here, no expert in sight. Thanks much. How hard is it to change a thermostat please.?

The big question is why did the pilot light go out in the first place.

It has nothing to do with the thermostat. The local utilities will

come to your home and check it out for you, most likely, it will

be free of charge. Just speak with a representative when you call

them. Are you sure the pilot light is still lit ? Don't wait till you are

freezing or your pipes freeze.



Good luck to you..How hard is it to change a thermostat please.?
Yep, its easy. They come with instructions. I got a little scared because the wires weren't EXACTLY the same color shades, so I called their help line and they were very nice and talked me through the whole thing. You can do it!How hard is it to change a thermostat please.?
You are right about removing and replacing the wires. That is all there is to it. They are low voltage so you don't have to worry about being shocked. New ones come with instructions. Take your time and you will be fine. Good luck.How hard is it to change a thermostat please.?
wrong forum, but the new one will come with a wiring diagram.

OK, I Just changed my thermostat and had my Taurus flushed and filled (radiator)and still no heat from heater?

So my next guess is the heater core, if so, where is it and how hard is it to change ?OK, I Just changed my thermostat and had my Taurus flushed and filled (radiator)and still no heat from heater?
Bandit is correct despite the thumbs down someone gave him. You have to flush the heater core seperatly from the radiator, just disconnect both hoses at the fire wall and runa GENTLE stream of water through it in both directions. You will see how much rust and gunk comes out. Don't use too much pressure or you could damage the core causing it to leak into the car interior.OK, I Just changed my thermostat and had my Taurus flushed and filled (radiator)and still no heat from heater?
Its not the heater core. Means there is still air in the cooling system. Have to find that bleed port, on the highest point of the cooling system, and slowly open it to get the air out.OK, I Just changed my thermostat and had my Taurus flushed and filled (radiator)and still no heat from heater?
make sure you run the car long enough to get the engine warm. otherwise it will not blow heat. i know it is simple but sometimes i overlook the simple things.OK, I Just changed my thermostat and had my Taurus flushed and filled (radiator)and still no heat from heater?
There is a valve on the hoses that supply coolant to the heater. It is probably not working. Usually vacuum operated.OK, I Just changed my thermostat and had my Taurus flushed and filled (radiator)and still no heat from heater?
if you just flushed the radiator then that,s not going to help the heater core. you need to flush it too.
