I talked with customer service on-line chat and was told that I had received the correct part and that I should contact you for technical support. Is this part compatible?

These thermostats cost twice as much as a regular L145 thermostat and are not as reliable, I replace these more than the L145's. Tell the Appliance parts pros, this is an unaceptable replacement.

They were looking for the high limit thermostat and by mistake they ordered the cycling thermostat. Our customer service has given the correct part information for what they need and gave return instructions for the incorrect one. We do sell original parts supplied from the manufacturers, in this case the customer just ordered the incorrect part.
