i heard from someone one the amarok list that the  temp sensor is pretty much 3 position when he tested it out. he said it went from extremely cold, went to operating temperature, and above that just shot straight up to hit the h.  i think he used some sort of voltage across the leads to test it out. so basically it may be that your new thermostat is just putting out a slightly higher voltage than your previous one.

just speculation ^_^
