Overview
This is a genuine OEM outdoor thermostat (temperature controller) for ICP/Tempstar/Heil heat pump systems, replacing factory part number 1054570 — a Honeywell T6031H-style sensing control. Mounted in the outdoor section, it senses ambient temperature and signals the control system to manage defrost timing, auxiliary/backup heat lockout, and compressor staging. When this control fails, the system can run electric backup heat unnecessarily, fail to enter or exit defrost correctly, or short-cycle the compressor. The T6031H is a snap-acting bimetal thermostat with adjustable setpoint and a fixed differential, rated for low-voltage control circuits.

Installation Guide
- Safety First — Disconnect power at the disconnect and breaker; verify zero voltage with a multimeter.
- Access — Remove the outdoor unit control-access panel.
- Document — Photograph all wiring and the sensing-bulb/capillary routing before disconnecting.
- Remove — Disconnect the low-voltage leads, release the mounting bracket, and withdraw the old thermostat and its sensing element.
- Install — Mount the new control, route the sensing element to the same location, and reconnect the leads per your photo.
- Test — Restore power and verify correct defrost and backup-heat operation.
Signs You Need a Replacement
- Electric/auxiliary backup heat runs even in mild outdoor temperatures
- System fails to enter or exit defrost properly (ice buildup on the coil)
- Compressor short-cycles or stages incorrectly
