Good review! I thought this thing sucked! We remodeled our house in 2014. We live in So California so we rarely use the heater. Somehow, ours has been locked for 2 years now. We were ready to call our general contractor again to replace... then I had an aha moment. I realized mine was locked! If yours is showing a lock (above am/pm)… hit NEXT, NEXT, NEXT, HOLD Now, I can't wait for my wife to be happy again if it ever gets cold again!

hello.. i am a maintenance technician at UC Berkeley. in my building we have this thermostat and HTP water heaters. for the record THEY BOTH SUCK!! the thermostat (LUX) Either wont turn on, or wont turn off! i programmed and reprogrammed, reset front and back. set schedules .. they Either work good or its the riddle. I usually hitcthe reset in the back and front... then program... remember to change the switch to off. if u dint want heat,, and remember. if its on auto.. it will do the program. keep it on off if you dont want ot to come on.. If you have a Htp water heater.. get a tech to check the 3 way vaulve! sometimes it doesn't switch from hot water to heat. it won't do both at the same time. this video helped me out tremendously! thank you.

I just had the Luxpro 511 installed and I hate it!! I am a senior and am home all the time. I don’t want it programmed and have to go through all those settings. I want the temp set the same all the time. My furnace has never cycled so often and it gets way too hot in my house. I have it on 69, and when I hit the hold button it’s saying 74.. I can’t afford that and can’t figure out how to set it for the 69 24/7 right now. I saw a video that said if you override the system it will only work until the next time setting. Please help????
@tinkerman52203 жыл бұрын
The problem may be with the installation, so I hope it was done correctly. Use the up/down arrows to select the temperature you want, then press the hold button. Hold locks your temperature setting indefinitely. One thing to note is the current temperature is displayed until you start pressing buttons. You will not know what temperature is set until you press the up/down arrows, and the numbers start blinking. It will then revert back to the current temperature in your home after a few seconds. Also, thermostats must be set for electric or heat pump or gas depending on your type of furnace. Again, that should have been done during installation.

The flashing fan word means you have the fan button set to "on". This will run the fan continuously, even if it is not heating or cooling. It will feel warm when the air conditioner is not running, or cold when the heater is not running.

How do u fix or what does it mean override
@tinkerman52204 жыл бұрын
Override is when you change the temperature manually. This will override the auto program, but only until it reaches its' next temperature change. I'll give an example. Pretend it is 3pm and you programmed the thermostat to drop the temperature to 71* at 5pm. You can manually change the temperature to 70* right now, but at 5pm the automatic program will take over and set the temperature to 71*. It is manual until the program has a change in temperature, then it takes over control again. I you accidentally enter manual mode, just rotate the dial to program mode then back to run. You will see the override word dissapear.
