Title: Which thermostat for vendo v-63
Post by: Alligator on July 06, 2014, 07:03:56 pm
I have an early model vendo v-63. It uses the thermostat with a screw driver slot instead of a knob. The adjustments are all over the place on it. Very hard to dial in a temp, it can get very cold, but trial and error to adjust.  What is the best replacement thermostat to get. Do I want a contact T or one that measures air temp?  I have seen a couple different models at funtronics and soda jerk works but don't know which is the best model.

All of my V-63 have the contact type.

Do you have a pic of where it should be mounted? The contact part not the dial.  Thanks!

pfft...newbies... :tounge: It mounts to the left of the evap' coil assy. plate as shown in pic (red circle) originally it attached with a rectangular/shallow stainless steel "upside down "U" shaped plate. or you may use two large washers of an appropriate size. don't crush the sensor capillary tubing or accidentally nick/cut it with the threads of the mounting screws.

it needs to be in firm contact with the back-plate, but again, don't crush the tubing.
