OK I have followed this thread to the end.. You have had a lot of info pushed at you.. You can "save" money by trying several of these thermostats that might or might not work.. pretty soon you might have 3 or four of these $8 units laying around to the tune of $24 to $32 and not have one that works..

Go to Miller Mfg.com and look at their solid state thermo #9207PK

I sent for 3 of them at a time .. used one in my homemade bator and the other two replaced the wafer/micro switch in two of my styro bators..

Meyer Supplies has the complete wafer style for $20.47..

Forget Water heater thermostats, LG thermostat is not much better, wafer will change temp with change of atmospheric pressure.

This is the best for the money (21 bucks) as good as many 50+ ones or better,
plug and play (No wiring)

Only .5 F temp variation.

I have it and I love it.
