I recently bought a "Ace AT10-1141SA" thermostat. It seems to work OK
except that the temperature setting lever is off compared to the switch
action. Meaning that in order to get the room to 70F, as it indicates,
I need to set the lever to around 78F. I can hear the switch "kick" at
78F so I know that it's the thermostat. Since this the only problem I
hesitate to replace it. Does anyone know of a way to recalibrate it?

How recently did you buy it? A couple of degrees is normal, but that is out
of tolerance. Can you return it?
