I have a small electric furnace made by rheem, the heat does not come on. Ealier if you bring the temperature slider back a forth a few time, it would run normal. Now that doesn't work. This to me sounds like a relay gone bad, or maybe a time delay. Any help would be appreciated. By the way I am quite knowledgeable about safely work with 210 V and almost have a mechanical engineering degree, so I have an idea how this thing works just need a start point for diagnosis. Also I have checked the thermostat settings and it funtionality with a multimeter. As I am a student I cannot afford a service call.

first thing to try is to take off your door to your furnace. turn your thermostat to heat and turn up the temp. locate the thermostat wires in the furnace there will be a white, a yellow, a green, and a red. check with a multimeter to see if you have 240 volts coming in to the furnace. if you do,then check power from the r to c terminal. there should be 24v. if not, you may have a bad transformer. next check power between r and w. there should be 24 volts.if not, your t-stat is probably bad. to check the relays and sequencers, turn off power and put your meter to ohms. check the relay and sequencer coils for resistance. you should get a measurable resistance. if your meter does not read resistance on the relay or sequencer coils, then they are bad. hope this helps you

In the vast majority of cases, burglars simply enter through the door. You should also know that resisting lock in just a few minutes has the effect of ending the attempted burglary. When replacing a lock technician SOS Habitat makes its expertise available to the client to guide the choice of a suitable material. It is the same when a key broke in the lock, which is often a sign of wear or malfunction. Again, the technician SOS Habitat is a duty to inform the customer about the potential risks associated with a lock in poor condition.

Sounds like the thermostat is bad. They don't cost much.

If your Thermostate is good check the continuity on your element. It sounds like the element might be burnt
