The old lady who lived here before this old lady moved in apparently had someone come in and program her thermostat. It's one of the older Honeywell models "Chronotherm III" probably made in the 70s. Sometimes it won't come on, sometimes it won't shut off, so I think the buttons I'm pushing are intereferring with her program, etc.

Is there any way to clear all the programming and start over? It will cost me at least $100 to get an expert over here.

Thanks for any help.

I found you this,but it's for the follow up model MK IV (which looks similar to yours) layout is slightly different
Its just one giant leaflet with all the buttons to press marked in yellow and the Instructions are in Plain English
Hope this is of Help?

Having installed and programed many thermostat like yours, even I can't tell you how to do it.

New programable thermostats are available from your local do it yourself stores for about 40 to 60 dollars and are much more efficent then the old Chronothem III. Much like the ones bedstor refered you to.

Then other problem you might run in to is sometimes people "Lock" the programing so it can't be changed. With out being there, I can't help you. See if bedstor site can help you.

PS, Found this site and it looks like it will help also:

Thank you so much, Miracle Worker, (WOW) for that link. I don't know why it never occurred to me to do a search for Honeywell. It's an amazing link, too, offering what amounts to a tutorial.

Bedstor, is there ANY limit to your talents? Everywhere I go on AP you are there, answering question after question! Do you ever sleep? Eat? breathe? As I shamelessly strip the knowledge from your busy head, I thank my good fortune that you are a member of this club. I bow to you.

I am a bad insomniac ,Legacy of working Night shifts years ago and you guessed right my appetite is very small (Take after my Mom ) I exist on Biscuits and cups of tea through the night LOL
My weight's about 9 stones, which is right for my size and age
It does seem like I put my body to bed and my spirit is left typing on the Computer

And if all else fails:
Chronotherm III CT8602 Programming

Well one can never have too many directions
This link is very similar to Bedstor but it specific to your model.

Thank you, Georgia my dear. I will tackle that as soon as I get this %#*(^&$ FTP program running!

Love, Catty

Does that mean you couldn't open the link? Do you need me to cut and paste it and send it to you in an e-mail or something?

No, darlin' it means I'm wrestling with an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program which allows me to transfer my employer's sound files on their website to my computer. Finally did get it working, somewhat. No, I haven't tried the link yet, will do so when quittin' time rolls around.

Ok, well just let me know if you need me to help you with anything
