Best Answer

Most electrical equipment are either designed to work on Single phase (two wires) or Three Phase (three or four wires). Two phase equipment are non existent today. A single phase heater will require a single phase thermostat while a three phase heater will require a three phase thermostat.

How do you know when to replace the thermostat?

Two good indicators of when to replace the car's thermostat: * When you have to run the heater (no matter what time of the year) in order to keep the engine coolant from overheating, * When you no longer get ANY heat from the heater core.


Where is the thermostat in Jeep Cherokee?

The thermostat on a straight 6, 4 litter Jeep Cherokee is located on the very front of the engine. Just follow the valve cover to the front of the engine and you will see the thermostat housing it has two heater hoses coming out of it (one to the radiator and one to the heater core). Simply take out the bolts holding the housing on and remove the heater hoses and the thermostat will pry right out.


How do you know if you need to replace your thermostat?

Well, I don't mean to sound snarky, but when it doesn't work anymore! The thermostat, in its most basic form, is just a switch to turn the heater on. If the heater turns on and off like it should, it is OK. If the heater doesn't turn on, or worse yet doesn't turn off, you should look into getting a new one. Some tests you can perform: Heater doesn't turn on? Get at the wires running to the thermostat and touch the two control wires (You will have to look into the furnace documentation if you have more than two wires) together. If the furnace clicks on, it's the thermostat. If it doesn't, it's the furnace. Heater doesn't turn off? When the furnace is running disconnect one of the control wires. If the furnace shuts off it's the thermostat. If it doesn't, it's the furnace.

Do you need ground to run a 240 vac water heater?

No, not really. The two hot legs can be opposite legs of a 120/240 V split phase power source. You still do need a protective earth ground, however, but the heater itself does not require a grounded neutral to run.


Where is the thermostat in 1998 Jeep Cherokee?

It is located on the front of the enging at the top inside of the thermostat housing. This is the piece that the upper radiator hose (the large hose coming off the top passenger side of the radiator) and a heater hose comes out of. there is also a plug on the right side of the thermostat housing. I believe it is two 13mm bolts. You will need a gasket along with the new thermostat.
