Shouldn't be able to. If the thermostat is put in backwards, thethermostat housing will interfere with the thermostat. When placed in properly, the housing with install easily.

How can you calibrate your electric heat thermostat?

There are two ways to do this. Fist is there is a small nut located behind the heater coil on the thermostat. It takes a special wrench to turn this nut. You can get them where you buy your thermostat. The second way is to back off the screws that hold the backer plate to the wall and check it for level. Once it is level tighten the screws and connect the thermostat back to the backer plate.

What effect will a bad thermostat have on an automobile heating system?

AnswerA bad thermostat won't give you any heat and or it will give you too much heat. You would be wise to change it. Usually there are two bolts that hold a thermostat in place. You need to remove these two bolts, take the old thermostat out and see how high the temperature setting on it is. Some cars have a temperature of 165 F while other cars go as high as 195 F. To be sure you are getting the right thermostat for your car you can always go to an Auto Parts store, give them the make and model for your car along with the year and they should be able to give you the right one for your car.Good luck.AnswerA thermostat can fail in one of several ways. It can stick open, which means that, in cold weather, the engine will not warm up properly, or the thermostat can stick closed, which will result in the engine overheating, or the device can stick somewhere between the two extremes, which usually will result in the vehicle running cold. The easiest way to check the thermostat is to remove the radiator cap with the engine cold, start the engine, and let it warm up. When the coolant reaches the preset temp of the thermostat, the thermostat should open, which will allow hot water to enter the radiator.
