Title: temp control
Post by: jeff hembree on March 21, 2012, 09:00:05 PM

Hello, This is my first post I have a MF5000 that I traded for some work. I did my own install. This is my 4th year. Its been very warm out this year. I went out tonight to turn my unit on tonight and noticed the temp control did'nt seem to be working. The control would work for a short period of time then it would show an E2 on the display. Help If the control is bad what is the ranco model # Thanks

Welcome to the site Jeff, I am not sure of the model number you have but I am sure someone here does.

 E2 means the thermostat is having some sort of programing trouble, if I remember correctly it has something to do with it not wanting to remember the settings. Just throw a new thermostat on it and it will solve all your problems. They are not all that expensive and fairly easy to change.

Jeff,

You might want to go to the Ranco website and read the spec sheet....there you can find what the codes indicate.  I'd like to help you, but my cheat sheet is out in the shop.  Just let your fingers do the walking on the keyboard and obtain first hand info there.
