Years ago, I had a torn rotator cuff. Went to a guy that does not promote surgery, had an MRI and he had me wear a arm sling all the time that I could. It allows the shoulder muscles to completely relax. After about 4 or 5 weeks, it was healed. No pain or problem since.

thing is, i have pushed it and let it go longer than needed. Heck just moving my arm causes my shoulder to pop.

I've never seen a thermostat cause overheating, Ive only ever seen them overcooling, and set a P0128
