[DML] Re: Cooling System Problem Solved - T hanks for Help

["Joe LoRe" <dmcjoe@xxxxxxx>]

Woody,

Glad to hear that you fixed your problem. One thing I would like to 
add. From my experience thermostats have an extremely low failure 
rate. It is possible that when you opened the system and installed 
the replacement thermostat you may have inadvertently corrected an 
air-lock condition at the thermostat.

I would be interested to know what results you might have if you test 
the thermostat that you replaced. The thermostat can be easily tested 
by placing it in a pan of water heated on your stove. Keep in mind 
that when you are conducting the test in an open container the 
thermostat will not open until the water approaches the boiling point.
