    Thermostat issues - any thoughts !?

    Any ideas on this problem !?

    I've just set up a new Viv and dug out a spare Habistat stat to regulate the heat mat . It's a few years old but it doesn't seem to be working .. It's a Habistat Living Earth mat stat Max 100W

    The RED 'power' bulb is on but the GREEN 'heat' bulb doesn't seem to be working correctly . I've just tested it using extreme levels so I set it at maximum heat 34C/92F , had the probe on the floor and no green light , I then out a bag of frozen peas over the probe just hoping to "spark" it into action - nothing !

    Oddly enough , when I unplug then out then put the mains plug back in the red light stays on and the green light flashes on for a split second - meaning the bulbs are both working ..

    Hmmm... not sure. Maybe try the manufacturer website or something?

    Yep, both MicroClimate and Habistat have ridiculously good repair schemes . Doesn't matter what age and no receipts needed .
