generally speaking the red spot stat should be "closed" in the normal operating position ( it is the 90 degree wash stat ). was the stat you replaced also "open" circuit? some times tapping the face of the stat onto a hard surface can unjam it, how ever it is my experiance that thermostats on washing machines are very reliable.
