Should I change my Danfoss thermostat?

[richard7761]

My Danfoss thermostat controls the central heating boiler. I can set the room temperature with it.

It does work, but it tends to arc quite often.

There should be no arcing - surely. Should be a quick make and break.

Can anyone recommend a wall mounted hand adjustable thermostat that is darn good at NOT arcing?

Thanks. Rich

Where does it arc, is it the hard wiring or the pin connection that do this?

It will be the switch contacts.

Basically, is there a better thermostat than Danfoss?

I have no doubts that it is suitable.

But, I do not think I'll replace the thermostat with a Danfoss. Because the same may accur again. I'm hoping that there is there is something better.

I wonder if Honeywell are better.

How old is it?
Is it still under any warranty or has it served it's time?

I think it was put in in 2003.

It's time maybe spent, could well be just a case of wear and tear.
Nothing wrong with the make, but the option is yours.
If the switch contacts are accessible, might be worth giving them a little bit of a clean.
Off course isolate first.
