Nice to meet you, *****!

We don't have a warranty,
Ok, got it
Please, follow my instructions:
Press Fan and UP simultaneously and hold for approximately 3 seconds. The screen will change to display two numbers
Tell me what are the numbers
It's blowing out heat on cool
I understand the pproblem
1 on the left and 0 on the right
Now, use arrow to change that 0 to 5.
Then hit next.
Now its 2 on the left and 0 on the right
Ok, hit Next.
6 on the left 5 on the right
Change this 5 to 9
How
Using the arrow
Ok now it's 12 and 0
Yes, correct
Now, if you select 1, the thermostat will change back and forth from heat to cool as needed without you having to do so manually.
Alternatively, you can just hit Next
Now its 13 and 1
Ok. Go ahead and hit DONE and then try AC.
Let me know if ac comes on blowing cold. May have a time delays so don’t panic.
So far the AC is running we are going to see if it drops a degree
Ok, sure
Let me know about the result
The problem was before is when you set it in heat the thermos says its on but the heat wasn't pumping or blowing im still seeing if its cooling down
What troubleshooting have you done so far?
Just checking wires and resetting breakers
Ok, I got you
I put the new thermos in about three weeks ago and everything worked fine but when we needed heat it would say heat on and it would click but not heat
Are you talking about the one we deal with now?
Yes now the air feels like it's cool but temp isn't dropping on thermostat in going to let it run awhile and then try the heat next
Ok, sure
You can come back to us later if the problem remains
