Is the thermostatic spring installed backwards? It appears that when this thermostatic coil cools down, the coil tries to become smaller(contract), turn clockwise, & lower the weighted end and open the flap. And when it is heated, the coil will try to unwind(expand), turn counter clockwise, and the way it's wound would make the flap close tighter--the opposite of what is needed.
Heat-logic--unless my reasoning is backwards--says the thermostatic spring needs to be reversed [on the split in the shaft]. Please point out my error if I'm reasoning incorrectly.
