    Here are some pictures. It's a line voltage thermostat. The issue seems to be that the thermostat is not detecting the temperature anymore so it's constantly running the A/C since it's stays constant on 80 degrees.


    Anyway, if you know of a good way to pick up another one or how to fix, that would be great.

    TIA

    Don't know the application, but a transformer and peanut relay could change it to a more accurate 24V control stat.

    yes...I think it's the only option as I do not want to troubleshoot this old piece of crap.

    I put a Ritetemp programmable/digital in our house two or three years ago. I'm sure it's paid for itself several times over that period.

    Sure, they probably got it from China, too.

    How old is the AC & Furnace it is connected to? I can't believe the thermostat wasn't replaced when the others were. If it has modern thermostat wiring just go to Lowes and buy a digital one for like $30.
