Most thermostats have a Jiggle pin. Its function is to allow trapped air past a closed thermostat as a build up of air in front of the wax capsule could cause engine damage. The wax capsule relies on coolant to relay heat to operate. If air was surrounding the capsule and the engine was at operating temperature, the stat would remain closed and cause the engine to overheat.

The engin could be at operating temp and the thermostat would not open due to air being in contact with the capsule instead of the actual coolent. This would most likely lead to an overheating engin, and damage.
