I have a INDIGLO programmable thermostat. It worked ok when I was

Can they be made to work as a regular thermostat (stay at the temp I

First of all, it sounds like it is working like it is supposed to, or
rather like it is programmed to. You are attempting to override the
t-stat and apparently not doing it the way the t-stat demands.
Now, w/o knowing what maker, model, etc it is, it is almost impossible

Their site address is on the page. Send them an email, or call them
up, if your model is among those listed. They maybe can help you over

for your model over the internet.
Or, you can call your local installer.
Or you can tell us what the make and model is and maybe we can help.
Hope you are feeling better soon!!!
