Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Testing and Inspection

Thermostat Testing

1.

Dip capillary tube in pan of water and check for continuity:

Cut-off: 33 - 33°F (1.5 - 0.5°C)
Cut-in:  37 - 41°F (2.5 - 5.0°C)

2.

If cut-off or cut-in temperature is too high or low, replace thermostat.

NOTE: Thermostat switching should be instant, not gradual.  It's either "ON" or "OFF."
