I've thrown away approx. 5 Rancos in the last few years. In my experience they last a couple years, give error messages, and then fail. I've never had them die in the on position though. Mine are always off with an error message. I've been replacing them with Herpstats.

It taught me my lesson about both lower end thermostats, and the importance of using a back up.

No worries, Bro. I miss those snakes, but I'm back on the horse, so to speak :gj:
