I'll second Erik's question: Does the 72 indicate SET POINT, or PROCESS
VALUE (i.e. current temperature)? You may have to push some buttons. I
doubt the thing is defective out of the box.

The 72 is the room temp. When I put batteries in it I can adjust the
desired temp. The only thing I can do to get it off of 72 degrees is
go into setup mode and I can change the room temp to +/- 3 degrees. I
see nothing in the manual about the room temp reading other than that.
