What is the reason why the new thermostat won't open?

Reasons why the new thermostat won't open: 1. Internal damage to the thermostat; 2. Damage to the thermostat opening valve; 3. The water temperature is too low. The thermostat is a valve that controls the flow path of the coolant, serving as an automatic temperature-regulating device. It typically contains a temperature-sensing component that uses thermal expansion or contraction to open or close the flow of air, gas, or liquid. The thermostat usually includes a temperature-sensing element that relies on expansion or contraction to open or close the coolant flow, automatically adjusting the amount of water entering the radiator based on the temperature of the coolant. This changes the circulation range of the coolant to regulate the cooling system's heat dissipation capacity. Currently, the most commonly used thermostats are wax-type thermostats, which control the coolant circulation method through the thermal expansion and contraction principle of the internal paraffin wax.
