I have a "vintage" manual Honeywell thermostat. Unsure of model, but round with gold-color outside and dial in middle. It's worked fine til recently.
Problem: the temperature sensor doesn't work. No matter how cold/chilly it gets in here, temp sensor stays at 78 degrees, so heat will not go on.
First, is there an easy safe "fix" for this? I don't like to mess with equipment that I know nothing about, especially if it could result in electrical shock or something. I'm guessing it needs reset, but don't know how to do that.
and second, could this problem have occurred because the fusebox was turned off and later turned back on?
