I would assume with 3 connections one is common, one is normally open,
other is normally closed. If what you are replacing is the high temp
limit switch, then it should be the pair that is normally closed and
you can determine that with a VOM.

I agree with the above reply, a conductivity meter will let you know which
contact you should use the n/c or the n/o
