Needed a quick fix
I needed a replacement cover. I already had this unit in place and it was difficult to get the cover off in order to replace the batteries. Don't know why cover so hard to get off. Maybe it had just been a very long time. However the cover hit the floor and that stuck the HEAT to the ON position. No getting off it. The button was shoved in and couldn't be slid over or pulled out.
So that meant controlling heat in winter by dropping/lowering the heat setting instead of doing ON/OFF. Of course, with spring/summer approaching need to get to other cycle. Relieved I was able to locate a (used) unit off EBAY so I could replace the cover. Importantly the unit cover does communicate w the wired in backing. So I didn't have to replace that. Something else, the batteries were supposed to be low - to cause this problem to begin with - but I have a battery tester at home and it was showing strong batteries. Just sayin'. From my former cover I knew (though my house is) Heat=Gas & A/C=Electric the inside setting is towards GAS since it's an independent routing.
