[DeTomaso] [NPC] Thermocouple

[Mark McWhinney]

This way off topic, but maybe someone has a quick answer.

I am chasing an electrical problem in a clothes dryer.  It appears that one
of the two thermocouples is bad, but I want to confirm before running off to
replace them.  

I assume that at room temperature that the thermocouple is open (no current
flows) and at the trigger temperature, the thermocouple closes (current
flows).  Is that correct or backwards?  I poked around on line, but I could
not find a definitive answer.
