PROBLEM
The existing electronic thermostat motor on certain C175 Generator Sets could fail due to water entry that could consequently lead to corrosion of the motor. If the existing electronic thermostat motor fails, it can lead to improper cooling system temperature regulation and potential engine overheat. The thermostat could also fail to function if the drive pin slips out of the motor mount assembly shaft. |
