    Sounds like for some reason the stat is reading in celsius instead of fahrenheit. You will need the stat instructions to get it set back to F. Either this or your stat is shot.

    Hi. This is Aaron Moratalla from White Rodgers. For 1F82-261, press the reset button inside. Pull the front cover off to locate the circuit board. Look below fan switch and press the reset button. The screen should blank out momentarily and when it goes back it will give you a normal operation. If you need more help please don't hesitate to call our tech line at 800-284-2925. Thank you for choosing White Rodgers!
