A couple friends of mine had a similar problem. They had
replaced the thermostat four times. I arrived, on other
matters. I did some investigation, and find out that the
furnace had a bad relay, which I replaced.

I have a LUX thermostat (model 1000?) in my vacation
home. It ran for
days causing the temperature in the house to exceed 95
degrees. (It
melted crayons in the house!)

If we hadn't caught the problem in time our house might
have burned
down.

We aren't sure how many days this problem existed, but I
do have a
$1,300 gas bill to pay. (This incident occurred in the
middle of
winter, in the mountains.)

The other damage was mostly to the wood in the house:
floor boards
shrank; cabinet door panels shrank; veneer came off the
cabinet face;
wine bottles popped and other interesting damage occurred
in the
house.

LUX sent a new thermostat and requested we return the old
one so they
could test it.

I'm reluctant to return it in case something 'happens' to
it.


Anyone else have a similar experience? (Hopefully not as
severe as
mine, since you were probably at home when it happened.)
