The creeping back up to 78 for both therms can vary in the amount of time it takes to return to 78. So we are getting some cooling, but have to keep resetting it back down to 74. Sound like the A/C unit? or some sort of control box which both thermostats connect into - in order to direct the A/C unit?? What would the control box betw the two therms be called? How would I find it? The A/C company, who came out, says one valve?, in some sort of series of valves? is not shutting properly & so I need to buy an entirely new A/C unit. Does this sound right?? Id appreciate ANY advice, as I can not buy a new one! Thank you!
When you say creeping back to 78 are you meaning the set point temperature or the actual room temp creeps up???

Both of the actual thermostats creep back up to 78 ... as well as the actual temp in the room.
Someone suggested that the power may have gone out at some point and that they both may be reprogramming to factory defaults since then?? Im wondering if I could do a reset somehow?? IF thats the issue??
btw.
both are White-Rodgers 1F82-261
TY sooooo much.
The board you are referring to would be the zone panel. This is not the problem. Obviously if the set point temp goes up to 78 then the room temp is going to go up to 78. Sounds like you are running a program. Every time you change the temp it is a temporary change depending on the length of the hold. You need to press the run/ hold button and be sure hold is displayed on the tstats. Run would mean you are running the program, hold means you always are controlling the temp by the temp the you set
Would the power going out have started a program issue, do you think??
Ive got to then understand how to reset or reprogram, then. ?
It's very possible. You likely have a common wire which means the tstats do not require a battery. With out the battery if you lost power your program would have been interrupted. Or if batteries were dead. You don't need to have a program unless that's what you want. The manual is available online so you can reprogram it but first run the hold and be sure this is the problem.
Going to install batteries this afternoon ... but Ive never programmed it myself. Starting to wonder if it went back to factory default, or what?!
Ok, sounds good. But as I said press that hold button. Hold should be displayed on the screen. Turn it to 74 and see if it gets there and stays there. Best Wishes!!
Thanks so much!!! Saved me buying a new a/c unit! I feel kinda silly that I didnt know that I HAD to program it. Question: Why didn't the a/c tech check me on the programming issue?! ??
Well, I don't think I need to say, find a new air conditioning company. Unfortunately people are at the mercy of a.c. company's because if they knew how to fix them they wouldn't call us. Some company's take advantage of that and will sell, sell ,sell. I hope it's working fine and as I said it doesn't have to be programmed, that's an option. Glad I could help
