Hi all,
We live in a small, older home with a single wall heater. It's always worked just fine, but the past few days the thermostat will just randomly stop working. I assume it is the thermostat because the heater seems to be fine, the pilot stays lit. But we'll turn up the thermostat and no matter high we set it the heater just doesn't kick on. We'll turn it all the way off, and then try again later. Sometimes it kicks on, sometimes not. It seems to be that it is turning on in the mornings only, but it hasn't been happening very long so I can't totally confirm that pattern.
My landlord is willing to send someone out to look at it, but we live in a Covid hotspot and I'm not anxious to have people coming in and out of the house.
Is there any sort of solution to this that I can take care of without outside help? I've attached a picture of our thermostat if that helps.
Thank you for any help you can give me!!
