Great to hear the repair was easy. It should have got hot once and then heat would make it to the thermostat and it would open. At that time it would work as designed. Had a slant overhauled at the hi school I had gone to as I had no place to work on it. The thermostat I had bought would not fit the correct way, so a student installed back asswards. That is how I come on that bit of information.
