Thermostat or thermal limiter ?

Hi I'm confused. What is the difference between a thermostat and a thermal limiter ? Both listed separately on your parts list. I see the clips for the wires on the thermostat stand up whereas the limiter clips lie flat. Mine has clips lying flat. Is there also a thermostat which I can't see on my oven ? Please help. Thanks.

    This part is likely to be a 'over temperature thermostat' or thermal limiter, it is fitted for protection if the adjustable thermostat (control) fails to prevent the appliance getting to hot. this type of part is sometimes used to automatically operate the cooling fan. Some thermal limiters do not reset so once 'tripped' may have to be replaced.
