how do i set the thermostat ritetemp 6022 because it's so hot outside and in my house
When you start the engine, the thermostat is closed. After the coolant warms up the thermostat begins to open up allowing coolant to flow thru the raditor. When first started the temp will go a little past what the thermostat is set to open at. After the water begins to flow thru the radiator, the temp will fall to whatever the thermostat is set at. The thermostat holds the coolant in the engine until it warms up. As soon as the engine is warm, the thermostat opens allowing cold coolant outside the engine to mix with warm coolant. The temp drops, the thermostat closes again, until all the coolant is warm.
The negative feedback system. It works much the way a thermostat works. When the temperature in a room drops below a set level, the thermostat signals the furnace to turn on. Once the furnace has raised the temp in the room to the set level, the thermostat signals the furnace to shut off. It will continue to stay off until the thermostat signals that the temp has dropped again.
likely thermostat is stuck. The temp blend door actuator has failed.
The thermostat is a mechanical device that restricts the flow of coolant in order to allow the engine to reach it's operating temp more quickly. It then opens and allows coolant to flow but will hold the temp at whatever is the set limit of the thermostat, usually around 190 degrees. The gasket is what prevents it from leaking.
If you have an electronic Thermostat, make sure that you are changing the "Program" and not just setting the "current" temp. Most electronic ones will change the temp NOW but will change back to the program after a set amount of time.
Try thermostat...very cheap and easy to rule out. $8 u can rule out the thermostat by reading ur temp gauge
Make sure you have the correct thermostat in there, if it is set too high you will get that bouncing. The thermostat is set to open at a certain temperature and allow the coolant to exchange with what is in the radiator. Under normal conditions you will notice a rise and fall of the temp gage as the coolant reaches max temp then lowers after the exchange. An overly sensitive sensor or an aftermarket gage set up will exaggerate it. I would not worry too much since it is a good indication that your cooling system is working well, the coolant in the radiator certainly seems to be cooling down enough to cause a big swing in temp. Check on that thermostat though as it may be letting the coolant get too hot before releasing it.
Look at the directions again and swap the wires you hooked up that are for the temp output, you have them switched
To set the timing you unplug the temp. sensor in the thermostat housing and set the timing to 12 degrees before T.C. with the automatic trans.
There could be an issue with the thermostat sensor, such as it being dirty or damaged. It's also possible that the thermostat is improperly calibrated. Try cleaning the sensor and checking the calibration, or consult a professional for further troubleshooting.
Either needs a new filter, thermostat or , worst-case, cooling element.
For basic settings, and best results, set your temp. for cooling at about 75 degrees F. or at the highest possible temp. that you can and still be comfortable. The same is true for the temp. setting for heating mode except in reverse. For heating, about 68 to 70 degrees is normal or the lowest temp. possible. This will allow your A/C to run less and operate more efficiently.
