Funny thing is that I've also got several Johnson thermostats (which are very close to the same thing) which I got about the same time and THEY are all still working just fine. It's NOT just because we're using them in a way they weren't intended for, I really believe that the Ranco's are just an inferior product.
Oh wow that's so interesting. That those two thermostats are so similar but one performs better than the other. Definitely questionable mechanics on the ranco side. And after hearing everyone's replies I can agree with you that the rancos are an inferior product. Maybe not for industrial use but for us hobbyist a gamble.
