J235TLCNE<br /><br />I don't have a factory service manual, but have a Seloc (which so far has served me well, that's why I haven't gotten the factory manual). This manual is very skimpy on thermostats - I can't even really tell where it is, or what it takes to remove, check, replace, etc. I've also done a quick search of this forum and looked at an exploded diagram on-line, but still am pretty clueless as to where it is and what it takes to service it.<br /><br />So, my questions are:<br /><br />Exactly where is (are?) the thermostat(s)?<br /><br />What does it take to service them - exactly what parts are needed? Are there any gaskets that need to be replaced? I'd like to have all parts in hand because I don't want this to turn into a two week project while I wait for parts.<br /><br />I really don't have any reason to suspect the thermostats are bad other than I have no idea when they were changed last. The motor ran perfectly in it's first run of the season - 3 hours of pretty hard running. But, I'm thinking it sounds like maintenance that should be done periodically, and a straightforward DIY. I'm always looking for things I can learn to do myself without messing things up! <br /><br />Thanks.
