    Help! Ranco thermostat dead.

    The ranco thermostat died on my boaphile single enclosure today. I can get a new thermostat tomorrow, but need to wire it like the one I have now so that the flexiwat on the bottom and the radiant heater on top of the enclosure both run off of it. It has a 5-6 ft extension out that plugs into the outlet and a powerstrip out that you plug the heaters into. I know I've seen the directions for how to wire the powerstrip and extension cord into the thermostat online, but can't find them now. btw- i'm a complete electrical novice. pictures would help.

    Anyone know where this is fast? I'm still looking without luck.

    Need to have this fixed asap. Thanks for any help!

    Around here you won't find something like that in a big box store, so I would imagine someone at the small shop or the place online where you ordered it would be able to help you out.
