In this type of unit, a heater is automatically turned on by a timer in order to melt the frost inside the unit. Frost is melted by the heater at several different spots in the unit, starting with the coldest and most frosted areas. When the frost is completely melted, the thermostat ...
Inside your gas-operated water heater is a tiny gas flame called a pilot light, whose purpose is to ignite the burner whenever the temperature falls below the thermostat setting. Right next to the pilot light is a small metallic tube known as a thermocouple. Buthow does a thermocouple work,...
Your Dryer’s Thermal fuse: What it does, How to Test it, Where to Find it I get a ton of questions from folks with ‘no heat’ dryers, and thought I’d tell you about the second most common cause of the problem – the thermal fuse (actually, these days, I think the numbers...
your first clue is usually that the appliance won't turn on. In addition to a thermal fuse, most electric dryers also have a high-limit thermostat to prevent overheating, but it typically just shuts off the heating element, and the dryer stops heating. The thermal fuse in a dryer is loca...

You can reach the cycling thermostat by opening up the top and front panels of the dryer (and possibly the back panel). It is usually located on or near the dryer’s blower casing. Use a multi-meter to test the thermostat. A reading of zero or infinity will indicate that it is in ...
coil of thin wire that develops heat. A jet of air blown by a fan behind the heating element carries this heat through the nozzle and in the direction you choose. If the air flow is obstructed and the air becomes too hot, a thermostat cuts off the power to prevent burning out the ...
Packard invented automotive AC all the way back in 1939, and in 1940 it was the first car company to offer factory-installed air conditioning. Of course, this early system didn't have a thermostat, but it was better than not having anything at all. The idea caught on, and by 1969, ...
The coolant flows into the condenser and (surprise, surprise) condenses: it gives up its heat to the atmosphere, so it turns back into a high-pressure, low-temperature liquid and flows (via the receiver/dryer, not shown) into the expansion valve. The expansion valve allows the coolant to...
