This thermostat is often abimetallicstrip; because the strip contains two metals, the metals will expand at different rates when the temperature rises, causing the strip to bend.

After so many seconds, thebimetallicstripbecomes sufficiently warped to trigger a set of spring-loaded switch contacts to open, thus interrupting the electric current to the heating element.
