What Happens When a Thermostat Fails?
1 Answers
A faulty thermostat can lead to multiple issues. Here are the related scenarios when a thermostat fails: 1. Coolant Leakage: The thermostat is installed at the junction where two circulation systems' pipelines connect. The presence of an interface in the water channel at this location poses a risk. Despite the thermostat being equipped with seals, coolant leakage can still occur. 2. Engine Overheating: When the thermostat gets stuck in the position that closes the major circulation loop, even if the coolant temperature can soften the paraffin, the major circulation still cannot be opened. In this situation, the coolant itself cannot dissipate heat, quickly leading to engine overheating.
