It happened again about 9:00 last night, so I beat feet to Home Depot in the Springs and got there about 15 min before closing. Picked up two different 'stats (one identical to the one I have, one a step up but on sale for the same price). Plugged in the new twin, and success!........ Ummm.... No. 4 AM, furnace making noise, t-stat dark, no heat. Long story short, I traced it down to what I think is a cracked solder joint where the t-stat terminal strip is connected to the controller. Working now, but will pull the board and reflow those points. I guess it's good that I took PTO today.
It also a good thing a stat isn't totally necessary to operate the thing. ....just a couple wires.. Don't even need a wire nut. A few twists, go back to bed, I so glad I don't put stuff off...but I do save for later.
I reflow anything questionable anymore. Or suck it clean and start over if it looks contaminated. Cracks are not always easy to see...for me anyway. I need a magnifier w/the light around it grandma used to read at night .
To bad everybody didn't build Dinosaur boards. A PCB builder that will or prob already has gone far....they make some nice appliance boards. At double the price. They had a few for the furnace I was working earlier this week..but I couldn't really warrant one yet. lol.
Good deal Ohio, the more you know and learn eventually makes it kind of fun.

There are *so* many Christmas movies out now! Glad you found a good one, Brew. That cast is pretty stacked, and it looks like a fun flick. Watch-listed!
EDIT: Gotta love RT sometimes...

I watched the old school classics over last weekend.
Started watching my favorite Christmas episodes last night... only finished The Dukes, then I dozed off. LOL
The plan has been to go to Trolley Square this weekend and do some other shopping around SLC. But I think I'm the only one that's not sick right now. I am definitely the only one awake.
