Summary: | A thermostat includes a temperature sensitive element that is responsive to temperature variations to selectively move between at least a first position and a second position. The transfer pin is movable with the temperature sensitive element and is configured, upon movement of the temperature sensitive element from the first position to the second position, to supply a force to a switch that moves the switch from a first switch position to a second switch position. A spring is coupled to the switch and is configured to selectively supply at least a first retainer force to the switch that, when the switch is in the second switch position, retains the switch in the second switch position when the temperature sensitive element moves from the second position back to the first position. |
