REMOVING OLD THERMOSTAT
Before removing wires from old thermostat’s switching subbase, label each wire with the terminal designation it was removed from.
- Remove Old Thermostat: A standard heat/cool thermostat consists of three basic parts:
- The cover, which may be either a snap-on or hinge type.
- The base, which is removed by loosening all captive screws.
- The switching subbase, which is removed by unscrewing the mounting screws that hold it on the wall or adaptor plate.
- Shut off electricity at the main fuse box until installation is complete. Ensure that electrical power is disconnected.
- Remove the front cover of the old thermostat. With wires still attached, remove wall plate from the wall. If the old thermostat has a wall mounting plate, remove the thermostat and the wall mounting plate as an assembly.
- Identify each wire attached to the old thermostat using the labels enclosed with the new thermostat.
- Disconnect the wires from the old thermostat one at a time. DO NOT LET WIRES FALL BACK INTO THE WALL.
- Install new thermostat using the following procedures.

White Rodgers THERMOSTAT 1E78 -140 MOUNTING AND WIRING
Electric Heat or Single-Stage Heat Pump Systems
This thermostat is configured from the factory to operate a heat/cool, fossil fuel (gas, oil, etc.), forced air system. It is configured correctly for any system that DOES NOT require the thermostat to energize the fan on a call for heat. If your system is an electric or heat-pump system that REQUIRES the thermostat to turn on the fan on a call for heat, locate the ELEC/GAS switch (see fig. 1) and switch it to the ELEC position. This will allow the thermostat to energize the fan immediately on a call for heat. If you are unsure if the heating/ cooling system requires the thermostat to control the fan, contact a qualified heating and air conditioning service person.
Hydronic (Hot Water or Steam) Heating Systems
This thermostat is set to operate properly with a forced-air heating system. If you have a hydronic heating system (a system that heats with hot water or steam), you must set the thermostat to operate properly with your system.
The factory default setting is forced air heat. Clipping jumper W905 on the circuit board will produce a longer heating cycle which is normally for hot water or steam (hydronic) systems. Both settings produce a very accurate temperature control and can be set to your personal preference. As received, the thermostat cycles the system just under 1˚F. With W905 clipped, the system cycles at approximately 1.5˚F.
Attach Thermostat Base to Wall
- Remove the packing material from the thermostat. Gently pull the body straight off the base. Forcing or prying on the thermostat will cause damage to the unit. If necessary, move the electric heat switch (see ELECTRIC HEAT SYSTEMS, above).
- Connect wires beneath terminal screws on base using appropriate wiring schematic (see figs. 2 through 7).
- Place base over hole in wall and mark mounting hole locations on wall using base as a template.
- Move base out of the way. Drill mounting holes.
- Fasten base loosely to wall, as shown in fig. 1, using two mounting screws. Adjust until level, and then tighten screws. (Leveling is for appearance only and will not affect thermostat operation.) If you are using existing mounting holes, or if holes drilled are too large and do not allow you to tighten base snugly, use plastic screw anchors to secure subbase.
- Push excess wire into wall and plug hole with a fire-resistant material (such as fiberglass insulation) to prevent drafts from affecting thermostat operation.
Battery Location
This thermostat requires 2 “AAA” alkaline batteries to operate. If Battery indicator appears on the display, the batteries are low and should be replaced with fresh premium brand “AAA” alkaline batteries such as Duracell® or Energizer®. The batteries are located on the back of the thermostat body (see fig. 1).

White Rodgers 1E78 -140 CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION
If at any time during testing your system does not operate properly, contact a qualified service person.
Fan Operation
If your system does not have a G terminal connection, skip to Heating System.
- Turn on power to the system.
- Move FAN switch to ON position. The blower should begin to operate.
- Move FAN switch to AUTO position. The blower should stop immediately.
This thermostat has a time delay between cooling cycles to allow the vhead pressure in the compressor to stabilize. If the temperature is adjusted to call for cool within 5 minutes of the last cycle the snowflake icon will blink indicating the thermostat is locked out. After 3 to 5 minutes, the compressor will start and the snowflake icon will stop flashing. This helps prevent the compressor from cycling too quickly and is normal operation for the thermostat.
- Move SYSTEM switch to COOL position.
- Press DOWN to adjust thermostat setting below room temperature. The blower should come on immediately on high speed, followed by cold air circulation
- Press UP to adjust temperature setting above room temperature.
The cooling system should stop operating.
Heating System
- Move SYSTEM switch to HEAT position. If the heating system has a standing pilot, be sure to light it.
- Press UP to adjust thermostat setting above room temperature. The heating system should begin to operate.
- Press DOWN to adjust temperature setting below room temperature. The heating system should stop operating.

White Rodgers 1E78 -140 TROUBLESHOOTING
Reset Operation
If a voltage spike or static discharge blanks out the display or causes erratic thermostat operation you can reset the thermostat by pressing UP and DOWN button at the same time while moving the SYSTEM switch from OFF to HEAT. This also resets the factory defaults. If the thermostat has power, has been reset and still does not function correctly contact your heating/cooling service person or place of purchase.
Batteries
For optimum performance, we recommend replacing batteries once a year with fresh premium brand “AAA” alkaline batteries.

Symptom |
Possible Cause |
Corrective Action |
|
No Heat/No Cool/No Fan (common problems) |
|
Replace fuse or reset breaker. Turn switch to ON. Replace door panel in proper position to engage safety interlock or door switch. |
|
No Heat |
|
Re-light pilot. Set SYSTEM Switch to HEAT and raise setpoint temperature above room temperature. Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached. Many furnaces have safety devices that shut down when a lock-out condition occurs. If the heat works intermittently contact the furnace manufacturer or local service person for assistance. Diagnostic: Set SYSTEM Switch to HEAT and raise the setpoint above room temperature. Within a few seconds the thermostat should make a soft click sound. This sound usually indicates the thermostat is operating properly. If the thermostat does not click, try the reset operation listed above. If the thermostat does not click after being reset contact your heating and cooling service person or place of purchase for a replacement. If the thermostat clicks, contact the furnace manufacturer or a service person to verify the heating is operating correctly. |
|
No Cool |
|
Set SYSTEM Switch to COOL and lower setpoint temperature below room temperature. Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached. Same procedure as diagnostic for No Heat condition except set the thermostat to COOL and lower the setpoint below the room temperature. There may be up to a five minute delay before the thermostat clicks in Cooling. |
|
Heat, Cool or Fan Runs Constantly. |
|
Check each wire connection to verify they are not shorted or touching together. No bare wire should stick out from under terminal screws. Try resetting the thermostat as described above. If the condition persists the manufacturer of your system or service person can instruct you on how to test the Heat/Cool system for correct operation. If the system operates correctly, replace the thermostat. |
|
Furnace Cycles Too Fast or Too Slow (narrow or wide temperature swing) |
1. The location of the thermostat and/or the size of the Heating System may be influencing the cycle rate. |
Digital thermostats normally provide precise temperature control and may cycle faster than some older mechanical models. A faster cycle rate means the unit turns on and off more frequently but runs for a shorter time so there is no increase in energy use. If you would like to increase the cycle time, clip Jumper W-905 as mentioned in the instructions for Hydronic Heating Systems. It is not possible to shorten the cycle time. If an acceptable cycle rate is not achieved as received or by clipping W-905 contact a local service person for additional suggestions. |
|
Cooling Cycles Too Fast or Too Slow (narrow or wide temperature swing) |
1. The location of the thermostat and the size of the Cooling System can influence the cycle rate. |
The cycle rate for cooling is fixed and can not be adjusted. Contact a local service person for suggestions. |
|
Thermostat Setting and Thermostat Thermometer Disagree |
1. Thermostat thermometer setting requires adjustment. |
The thermometer can be adjusted +/- 3 degrees. See Temperature Display Adjustment in the Operation section. |
|
Blank Display and/or Keypad Not Responding |
|
Replace batteries and check heat/cool system for proper operation. If a voltage spike occurs use the Reset Operation listed above. |
