it should be replaced when it stops doing its job controlling the temperature and replacing the battery does not solve the problem or it is showing a digital error code that tells you it is defective. You may also want to test if it actually is doing its job but the heating or cooling unit may be broken.
If you have more than one zone and you know what you are doing, you can switch it with a known working thermostat and see if the problem stays with the zone or it moves with the thermostat. That should tell you if the thermostat is broken or the system related to that zone needs maintenance.

How can you tell if thermostat on 95 ford escort bad?
If the engine is taking a long time to warm up or the gauge registers low heat the thermostat probably is stuck open and needs to be replaced. If the engine runs hot check the temperature of the upper radiator hose. If it's not hot the thermostat is stuck closed and should be replaced. If the upper hose is hot it means the thermostat is open and working. Cooling problem could be restricted radiator.

Check engine. Is radiator really full? Does the rad. fan come on? Is the fan belt on water pump tight? If these things are ok, you probably need a new thermostat.

How can you tell which component is badthermastat or relay switch for a 1992 ford escort lx?
The thermostat or the fan relay for the radiator fan. If the temperature gauge shows the engine to be hot the fan should be on. If the fan isn't on you can check it by removing the electrical connection to the temperature sensor. If the fan is all right it will come on by default when the wiring connector is removed. Usually it is the thermostat which needs to be replaced when the engine is overheating. If the top hose going to the radiator isn't hot when the temperature gauge shows the engine to be hot the thermostat is stuck shut and should be replaced.

Engine runs cold in 2001 Z3 roadster Is there a fuse or switch for the thermostat so you could check if its bad BMW won't tell and want to have thermostat and housing replaced?
If your dashboard gauge is ok and the needle is moving when the engine start to warm up but never attempt the middle you have to check the thermostat as follow: you start the cold engine and carefully you keep your hand on the hose which transfer the cooling fluid from engine to radiator. If immediatelly after starting the engine the hot water goes through the hose, is 100% shure that thermostat is blocked open and needs to be replaced. A blocked thermostat in the position closed will cause more damaged because the engine will be overheated and the headgasket will be "burned".
