It's basically a switch or 'fuse' that starts or stops when something gets too hot or too cold. Temperature switches are bi-metallic strips - basically, they are two different metals bonded together. When the bi-metallic strip gets hot or cold, each metal strip expands or contracts at a different rate, causing the strip to bend. This activates or deactivates the circuit.
