What you have there is your compressors over-current/ high temperature cut-out. ( think of it as a circuit breaker) It is an obsolete part that you aren't going to find on a shelf somewhere, someone may have a used one laying about, but you'd be ahead of the game by replacing the whole mechanical starter relay assembly of your motor with a three- in-one unit.
PS, it is not a thermostat. And no, you cant leave it out of the rebuild.

Yeah, well it's not, it's a protection device, not a temperature control.  Technically it's a thermostatic protection device. |

Excuse my ignorance because I don't know much at all about electric and this is pretty much a learn as I go project, but since that thermostat you listed is a control device, how would that protect it from overheating? Or would I need to just run a fuse or something on the wire? Also I thought the same thing I wondered why it was called a thermostat if it didn't control the temperature so I looked it up: a device that automatically regulates temperature, or that activates a device when the temperature reaches a certain point. Interesting, I've never heard it used before in that context.

It is a protective thermostat used to insure that the compressor doesn't overheat. It has nothing to do with the temperature of the cabinet.

Yes indeed. I stand corrected. |

Ok so I realized that 3 n 1 was just listed as a start capacitor on sodajerkworks and bought that. In the instructions where it tells you how to wire it up it states that: you MUST use an ignition wrench on back nut closest to pump body. Do not let this nut move at all! Whoops! Guess who removed that nut. I'm pretty sure its referring to the three compressor leads you can see to the right of the thermostat in snapshots picture. Does anyone know why this nut shouldn't be moved? I took it off because the washers were rusty and I was going to replace them. Two are just normal washers and then the two in the middle look like special conductive washers maybe? Does anybody know what these are called so I can replace them with shiny ones? Thanks!

The back hex nut help compress the terminals pass-through connection into the pressurized case of the compressor itself, if you loosen it, the seal ( which is a hard rubber) may become dislodged & leak, or even blow out, and that will be the end of that. So just replace the top nut(s) and use a backer wrench, if tge bottom nuts are corroded looking, use a fine wire cup brush in your electric drill & polish them up a bit, but again, be carefull.
Also know that if you should "twist" the terminal stud, you could tear the interior wire connection of the unit, also rendering you compressor into a boat anchor.
