My round Honeywell 2-program thermostat seems to be loosing time, but not the
other settings. WHen I had problems with the HVAC fan capacitor, thermostate
went blank, but time & settings remained ok. Have no idea if it has a battery
or is flash memory. Got it "brown box" of fnet ten years ago. YOu may recall
I had capacitor problems and fortunately we had a spare the builder left us
in 1965. WOnder about shelf life. It says 4uF. Oval aluminum shape. Ok, found
one on Radio Shack, but it says 370 Volts. Hm, I'm guessing that's a max, not
avg, but not sure. ANyone know more about these thermostats and if the
problem is with thermostat battery or with the fan capacitor or..?
