Propex thermostat died

Thermostat has given up. I have tried to revive it but the sheet spring has snapped.

Can I use any room thermo as a replacement? The origional has an on/off switch but I could fit a separate one myself

so who's cheap....under a tenner is good for me!

if you get a programable room stat, yes it'll cost abit more but you'll then be able to program a time for it to come on so that your not wasting fuel while your in the pub but it will come on just before you get throw out! you'll have to decipher the wires tho!

Does a room stat work off 12v Kev? Might be worth finding out the price of one from propex. Nick

hmm, with the two way contacts you could use that to trigger fridge fans to ensure it don't get too hot in behind the fridge!!

even better news thanks for that

12vdc 100ma does that mean the thermostat draws 100ma when it's thermostating
