Any downside to leaving it be? I know its not right and I should get it fixed but I don't have the time or shop space to do it currently.
"Leaving it be" may mean you are encouraging abnormal wear and tear running the machine well below optimal operating temps too often. It can't be a big job replacing the thermostat, so just do it!
