You are absolutely right Richard. I looked up in the 1983-1985 Electrical Troubleshooting Manual and yes the switch is called a receiver/dryer temperature switch which should close at 144 dF (62 dC). Now that you shook my memory cells awake the last time I pulled one of these out I seem to remember that you CAN replace it without evacuating the system. Thanks for helping jog the memory bank to life
