However, before I spend the money on another thermostat, I'm going to

ask on here if anyone can tell me how to make this thermostat work in a

manual manner. In other words, simply stay on the temperature I set it

to. They say us elders have problems with technology, and I'll admit,

I'm one of them.



What I have is this. It's a Honeywell brand. It has a couple switches

on the side. one is to turn on the fan manually, which does nothing.

The other is for AC or HEAT. It's set to HEAT. (there is no AC).

Then there is the digital readout that shows the indoor temp. And shows

the temp I'm setting when I use the up and down arrow buttons.

There are 3 more buttons, one says SET (for setting the clock, I guess).

One says HOLD (WTF is that for?). I cant remember what the other one

says since I'm in my house now.



Can anyone tell me how to set this godamn thing so it stays at the temp

I want????



Thanks



PS. There are two wires that go to the furnace. Putting a jumper across

them makes the furnace run continuously.

Are there any markings such as a model or part number? If you have
a model number you should be able to find a manual online. Can you
post a photo of the thermostat?

I got the model#. It's a RTH221B. I did find a manual online, and yea,
pressing the HOLD button locks the temperature I set.
Problem solved.

Thanks for all the help.
