Seems obvious the problem is the temp switch? Could it be a less obvious problem? I'd like to confirm that before ordering a $50 part. Any comments? Thanks for your help! Jim

If you order from this site (those of us who reply are volunteers and are not associated with the parts operations of APP) and it does not fix your problem you can return the part. See the returns policy before ordering.
