Or it has nothing to do with heater and that stat sticking open?
Regardless if you have the heater on or off, the 180 stat should hold a
minimum temp of around 180 on that side. You are correct that if you are seeing 160 or so, the stat is probably stuck open. An infra red thermometer should be used to confirm your temps.
