The thermostat apparently stopped working and it stuck closed. I have always had them stick open when they went bad. I have asked the service person if they found any other issues. He said that they did not find anything else that would have caused the hose to burst, it was just a bad thermostat that was stuck closed. Below is the estimate that I have been given for the repairs. Does anyone know what the quote min and and quote max mean.
