Several years ago I ordered two of the Robert Shaw thermostats and the vender sent me the incorrect ones, the ones without the hat on the bottom. What I did was to remove the hat from my old thermostat and intsall it the incorrect one. The hats are just a light press fit. Been on the motor for a couple of years and no problem with overheating.
