Turned on the furnace for the very first time last weekend to provide heat on a cold morning. Was really surprised that it took so much force to move the switch on top of the thermostat to "on". Was convinced I was going to end up breaking it.
Looks like it is a typical problem for this thermostat. I saw one post where someone had "filed down a little plastic bump" to make it easier. Looks difficult to do..... is this something anybody else has worried about or come up with a solution? Has anyone actually broke one of these or despite the force they are durable and I don't need to fix a problem that doesn't exist?
Mine is difficult as well. Haven't changed anything but never broke it. I don't use the furnace much though.
