Not only do I ALWAYS check a thermostat on the stove in a pot of water, I ALWAYS do the same with the temp gauge before installing it in anything........If it's not too much trouble to remove, I would also test your temp gauge.........

I've tested 5 so far and three were exactly the same, one was about 5 degrees too high on the reading and the 5th one was off by 10 degrees............

oddly enough, the el-cheapo Auto Zone/J.C. Whitney gauges were the most accurate, go figure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
