Product review (4 stars): Works, with some patience.
Works for now but will update in regards to future performance. Would be 5 star but the end of the sensor wire had a larger tip than usual that made getting the capillary tube from the old one on to the new one a real fight. Took an hour to do that alone. The tube that comes on this one is just a protective sleeve to be discarded. It's not the same as the tube that's on the old one.

I think a lot of the issues that arise after the first few months of use is that bi-metal thermostats, by their nature, kinda settle into their long term performance characteristics. This is why they have an adjustment screw. This I can handle and I understand it from my HVAC experiences with simple dial thermostats. I'm more bothered by the deformation at the end of the sensor wire on my particular purchase.
