    Honeywell DT90E Digital Room Stat

    The room stat was renewed 3 months ago. It has worked ok up until now. In the last few days it has taken to making a clicking noise twice a second, much like a fast grandfather clock or music metronome! This only happens once every few days! I have changed the batteries, but this makes...
