Why is my freezer temp going up and down?

If there is not much of a load (food) in the freezer, every time it goes into a defrost cycle, the temperature will get very high. This is because there is not enough in it, to hold the temperature down. In this case, simply add more food or just some ice to the freezer. The defrost timer can also be the cause.

What should the resistance of a temperature sensor be?

After disconnecting the sensor, you can check its resistance. The resistance of different temperature sensors may vary and is usually in the range of 5-15 KΩ (Kiloohms). If the resistance of the sensor is within its normal values than poor contact in the terminals might be the reason why thermostat not working correctly.

What causes the thermostat to go beyond a set temperature?

The thermostat setting can also be big enough for your house and that will lead it to work very faster which will increase the temperature and it will go beyond set temperature.

If the pump pulls a vacuum that slowly decays, the hose is restricted. Is the hose plugged or restricted? Yes REPLACE the vacuum hose. TEST the system for normal operation.

How do you adjust the temperature of a hot water heater?

Place the function selector switch in the FLOOR position. Adjust the temperature control to full warm position, and physically feel the discharge air temperature at the heater outlet floor duct. Rotate the temperature control to full cool position, and physically feel the discharge air temperature at the heater outlet floor duct.
