It's the Danby "auto-defrost" feature. It cycles off every 24 hrs to defrost, at which time the temp rises (as the unit isn't running!). Not much you can do. By the way, the blue LED temp display isn't accurate. It NEVER gets 36 (liquid temp) inside the Danby unless you do the following: Open the door and look to the back left. There is a small grate covering the temp sensor. Remove the grate and place the sensor into a small cup of water. The sensor will now read the "liquid" temp inside the keg, and not the "air" temp. The Danby will then cool the inside to a more beer friendly temp, and should not only cut back on foam, but taste better.

Elp with Peco TA-170 Thermostat setting?

The Peco TA-170 thermostat is designed to control both heating and cooling, and it appears that it may not allow for separate temperature settings for heating and cooling. However, you can adjust the set point temperature for both heating and cooling modes at the same time by following these steps:
  1. Press the "SET" button to enter the programming mode.
  2. Use the up and down arrow buttons to adjust the temperature set point. The display will show the current temperature set point for both heating and cooling modes.
  3. When you have set the desired temperature, press the "SET" button to save the new set point.
To reset the thermostat to its factory settings, follow these steps:
  1. Press and hold the "RESET" button for three seconds.
  2. The display will show "RST", indicating that the thermostat is resetting.
  3. After a few seconds, the display will go blank and then turn back on, indicating that the reset is complete.
Please keep in mind that resetting the thermostat to its factory settings will erase all programmed settings and return it to its default settings. You will need to reprogram the thermostat to your desired settings after the reset.

Electric fire place comes on for two mins then goes off

Turn up setting because all electric fireplaces have a thermostat that shuts off when it hits the desired temperature.

Hi I lost my manual to my westpoint tropical chest freezer, and wanted to find out how the fast freezer switch works. Does it mean when i switch it off the freezer goes off? or is it just a switch to help...

Hi
Normally a fast freeze button is just that, it turns the compressor on permanently to freeze things down quickly.
I suspect that your run light is linked to the thermostat, and does not indicate that the freezer is turned off but that the temperature of the freezer is above the temperature set on the thermostat and the compressor is running to bring the temperature down. Once the temperature is at or below the thermostat temperature then the compressor will stop and the red light probably goes out, indicating the the freezer is at the right temperature.
It won't go out with the fast freeze on because to freeze food quickly the thermostat is by-passed and the compressor runs continuously.
Hope this helps.

Installed an rth2510 and installed as labeled on old stat and sounds like my ac nut is buzzing outside, any thought?

question: do you have a multiple thermostat setup in 1 zone? If so check what settings are for your heat on each thermostat. Make sure that the heat is not set higher than the room's temperature.
check what settings are for your cooling on each thermostat. Make sure that the cooling is set accordingly.

if you have multiple thermostats setup in 1 zone. the thermostat with the lowest temperature will reign supreme. The heat setting on that thermostat will be what's causing the buzz on the heater.

optionally, hard reset your thermostat as a precaution. Here's how to do so: there are two types of thermostats i know of programmable and non-programmable.

disable auto & enable manual; however do NOT change settings or power-off t-stat. Remove battery and power down the thermostat until you see nothing on the thermostat monitor; power OFF the switch connected to your t-stat. Remove battery and reinsert inverted, if needed, press whatever button that your heart desires to make sure that nothing is absolutely drawing into that mode, button, etc; wait (5sec-1min); remove batters; wait 1min; then, reinsert batteries in its correct position; if you have a programmable thermostat; do the same with the hit 'reset filter' held down observe if the roomTemp reading has changed.

May I suggest to keep an extra thermometer around to determine if temperature reading accurately?

If reset requires a reprogramming to your t-stat, do whatever required to set your desired setting.

cheers, best of luck. i hope i've helped.

background, doing a hard reset in my opinion is similar to removing the battery from a PC motherboard.

Cant program remote

I'm going to assume you are meaning that you are unable to set the "target temperature" for the thermostat?


This remote control system can be thermostatically controlled when the transmitter is in the THERMO mode (THERMO must be displayed on the screen). To set the DESIRED room temperature, press the MODE button to place the transmitter into THERMO mode, then press the UP or DOWN button to select the desired
room temperature. The highest SET temperature is 99 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius).

The oven does not cook the food, it only warms the food.

Two possible problems. If the oven has two or more elements for normal operation then one of these elements may be faulty. The thermostat may also be faulty and only heating to a far lesser temperature than required. The way to tell is turn the oven to a normal cooking temperature.
If the oven indicator light stays on all the time and doesn't cycle off then it may be an element problem, meaning that the oven can't reach the temperature setting desired.
If the oven indicator light goes off after a while and then cycles on and off then the thermostat is working correctly but the temperature may not be hot enough. You may have to purchase a small oven thermometer and check the oven temperature against the thermometer to get a better idea of what the problem is.

How do you reset the unit so it is no longer on program mode

From the Operating Manual: Manual Operation for Non-Programmable Thermostats Press the SYSTEM button to select Heat or Cool and use the [Up] or [Down] buttons to adjust the temperature to your desired setting. After selecting your desired settings you can also press the SYSTEM button to select AUTO to allow the thermostat to automatically change between Heat and Cool. Manual Operation (Bypassing the Program) Programmable Thermostats Press the [Up] or [Down] buttons and adjust the temperature wherever you like. Then press HOLD. This will override the program. The HOLD feature bypasses the program and allows you to adjust the temperature manually, as needed. Whatever temperature you set in HOLD will be maintained 24 hours a day, until you manually change the temperature or press RUN to cancel HOLD and resume the programmed schedule. ____________________________________________________ *Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, despite the handle.

The heater will not kick on. It's a programable 7 day that reads 69 degrees and if I arrow up to 72 degrees, nothing happens

Change Temperature Setting Until the Next Program Period (Temporary Change)
? Press UP Arrow or DOWN Arrow until the screen shows the desired temperature setting.
NOTE: The temporary temperature setting is displayed for about 3 seconds and then the room temperature is displayed.
Temporary appears in the display. The setting cancels when the next program period starts or when
you press RUN PROGRAM.

Change Temperature Setting Indefinitely (Hold)
? Move the System switch to the desired position (Heat or Cool).
? Press HOLD TEMP then UP Arrow or Down Arrow to change your setting if desired. (The display changes from showing the setpoint
temperature to room temperature after approximately three seconds).
? To cancel Hold press RUN PROGRAM.


The downloadable manuals for this t-stat are here, and the addendum, here. Page 17 and 18 detail thermostat operation I have copied above. It has graphic representations of keys that do not copy over very well, so if you have questions about the steps above, you should view the manual in the links provided above.

I hope this helps! Please take a moment to rate my reply - thanks!

I am having LG GR-B352 YC , what is the best temperature that i can keep initially and future??

Generic instructions to set temperatures in fridges:

Many manufacturers design these appliances to operate at 0 degrees F in the freezer and 34 to 36 degrees F in the fresh food compartment.

To set the temperature correctly, fill a glass with water (8 to 12 ounces) and place a thermometer capable of indicating 32 degrees and up into the glass with water (if the temperature goes below 32 degrees, the water will freeze - so no need to find a thermometer that indicates any lower). Place the glass with the thermometer in it on a shelf and wait. Putting the thermometer in a glass of water helps preserve the temperature reading while the door is open. You can skip the water and glass if you want - but you'll need to read the temperature as soon as you open the door.

The freezer will require a thermometer capable of displaying 0 degrees F. Place it on a shelf where it can be seen readily - but preferably in the rear - between items (to prevent the warm air from driving the indicator up when opening the door to read it).

It will probably be easier to set the freezer temperature first. Adjust both the freezer and fresh food thermostats to mid-points (if the fridge is empty - otherwise skip this step). Adjust the freezer thermostat up or down as needed to reach the desired 0 degree F temperature.

Once the freezer adjustments are complete, adjust the fresh food compartment thermostat as needed up or down to reach the desired temperature for it.

If you fridge is fully stocked, it may take some time for the temperature to stabilize and warm / cool the fridge's contents completely. This is further affected by how often the door(s) are opened and for how long. 24 hours is often claimed - but you might be able to sneak an 8 - 12 hour soak before reading the thermometers.

After the temperatures are set, you may find that the lower part of the fresh food area is partially freezing - simply adjust the thermometer up *slightly* as needed.

Please rate this reply if it was helpful - good luck!

Thermostat position?

The thermostat control alows you to set it at whatever your desired room temperature is. It will keep the compressor on until it reaches your desired setting and then turn the compressor off.
