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
turn it to), or do I need to replace it?
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
to find something to help you reprogram it. E.G. I have a Trane
programmable t-stat made for them by Honeywell. It has an "indiglo'
feature, but it is not an Indiglo Thermostat.
Here is one large maker of t-stats with an indiglo featu

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
the phone, or you might be able to access the specific instructions
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!!!


Thanks to all that replied. You may be right. This came with the
house so there is no manual. I looked on the Hunter website and they
dont have my model listed. I sent them a email and hope they respond
soon. However there is a HOLD botton, and I had no clue what that was
for. Maybe that is the ticket. I will try it. Last night I pushed a
piece of wire in the RESET hole, which I assume removes all the
programming. I was desparate to do something, because I am sick and
freezing my butt off because of that thing. I reset the clock to the
correct time but did nothing else. So now, it seems to be staying
where I set it, because there is nothing programmed.
I have been fighting with this thing all winter long for 4 years,
resetting it every hour or so, all day and night, except from 5pm to
10pm at which time it was often too hot. When I was working it was
fine, but not since, and it finally got to me last night. I was
wishing I had one of those old round Honeywells in my junk box because
I would have changed it right then and there.

You know they put instructions on the small panel door, but even with
my best glasses I cant read it. I never could figure out why things
like this dont have a slot in the back where the instructions could be
placed on some cardstock. I guess they dont understand that us old
farts dont have the best eyes. But I dont think I could haev read
that door when I was 20.

BTW: It is a HUNTER, and the model is 44155B (their website has a
44155C, but not the "B"). The "C" looks much different.
