Load on the contacts is 24 vac standard, 30 volts max. the battery however is a standard AA or AAA Duracell battery, it is not 30 volts.... Those are available almost everywhere, You can pry the front of the thermostat from its wall mount sub base and see the batteries inside... just replace them.

I do believe that there should be a tip switch under the feet and if it is broke off then you need to by pass the switch. You could use a small piece of dowel rod up inside to trip the switch and have heat.
The thermostat is mounted in front of a hole and a void in the wall. A draft of air may be coming in from this void, where the wires are in the wall. It should be sealed so the thermostat keeps accurate temperature.
Thermostats temperature reading can be calibrated if the reading is off, as indicated by the thermostat's installation manual
I can help you out on this , there should be about 3 flat head screws that are difficult to see under the round cover/front cover , there should be 3 peices to the entire t-stat , the front comes off easy and then there are the 3 screws and then the base mounted to the wall. let me know how this works.
Hi Bmreid
The problem you describe sounds pretty much like your gas valve is going bad. There is a brand by Honeywell called a Smart Valve which is anything but smart, when the electronics in the valve start going bad the furnace will run great for a day or two and then the next day may not run at all and then an hour later my run and then an hour later may not run again. Very sporadic operating furnace is usually the Honeywell Smart gas valve going bad.
yep the wires will hook up to the same designations, just write down what color was connected where. You will need to set the thermostat up for your particular situation...gas, electric, heat pump, ect. The installation maunel is very clear on this aspect so you should not have a problem.
the thermostat is a variable rotation type. turning it in one direction varies a gap on a set of contacts mounted on the inside of the front panel. take the heater apart by taking out the four screws in back. the front panel should come off and you'll see the thermostat contacts. rotate the knob and see what the contacts do. if they make up, your element might be shot.
