Product Overview
The 240007498 is a RetroAire C-12 conical thermostat. As a thermostat, it senses ambient temperature and cycles the connected heating equipment on and off to hold the set point dialed in by the installer or homeowner, standing in for the existing conical-style control it replaces.
It is sold as a direct replacement for a control carrying this same part number, on RetroAire units equipped with a circuit board. See the Fitment panel for the full list of applicable equipment; before ordering, confirm the wiring terminals and mounting pattern against the thermostat being replaced.
It ships complete and ready to wire in place of the failed or worn original.
When replacing this part, shut off power to the heating equipment before disconnecting the old thermostat. Once the new thermostat is wired in and power is restored, have a qualified technician verify operation.
