Remove switch from water pump housing. Place switch in container of water and heat water slowly. With ohmmeter connected to switch terminals, check water temperature when continuity no longer exists in switch. Continuity should be broken when temperature reaches 129-151°F (54-66°C). Replace switch if it does not operate within specifications.
