How can a bimetallic strip be used to regulate temperature?
A bimetallic strip is two different metals glued together. When the temperature changes each metal expands (or contracts) but by different amounts, so the strip as a whole ends up bending. This bending property can be used to turn on (or off) a heater switch.
Why is bimetallic stripes used in gadgets?
Bimetallic strips consists of two strips of fused together along their length. On one side, you'll see one metal; flip it around and you see another type. Since metals don't all expand and contract at the same rate, this bimetallic strip will be straight at only one temperature. Heat the strip up and the strip will bend because one metal will expand more than the other. This bending of the bimetallic strip is used in thermostats to regulate temperature. This strip provides a closed circuit to a heater. When it gets too hot, the strip bends and cuts off the electric current. No more heating goes on, and the strip starts to cool. When the bimetallic strip is straight again, the circuit is connected, and the heater heats up again.

How do you troubleshoot heater problems on 1991gmc sierra?
The first thing to do is check the radiator, not the overflow tank, to be sure it is full. Next, with the engine warmed up, feel both heater hoses. They should be the same temperature. If not then the heater core is stopped up and will require back flushing. If they are the same temperature then you will most likely have a blend door problem.
