The tube is filled with either. When they break they can be repaired but it is a massive job to do so and from a tech standpoint beyond the skill of anyone who is not set up to do this repair.

The proper term for this is a thermocouple so you might use that in the search terms when looking for a replacement.
The tube contains ether. It is called a "Bourdon tube". It is a component of the expansion valve.

It is not a thermocouple; a thermocouple is an electrical device.

An Idle mind is the Devil's playground.
