Should I just replace the Totaline programmable thermostat with a manual (non-programmable) thermostat?


Programmable is fine, just get a reliable brand like Honeywell,
Robertshaw.

As long as the heat is coming on if you bypass the T-stat you can be
sure that is not the problem. The thermostat is just a switch that
signals the heater to go off or on.
