If you are certain the tstat is the problem, remove it and connect a jumper between the terminals R and W and the heat will start. Remove the jumper when the house warms up. Replace the stat.

What is wrong when the Rudd heating unit ignites but does not stay on long enough for the temperature to come up to the thermostat setting?

either your thermostat is bad or the flame sensor on unit is no good. it also can be a limit switch. if it lights and stays on for awhile but doesnt reach temperature then its thermostat. if it lights for 10 seconds it is sensor or limit switch.

Why is your car overheating and has not hot air in car?

No heat in your car may be from your water pump going out and not feeding your heater core with enough water to produce heat. First remove your thermostat and see if your car stops over heating. If it doesnt, then you need to replace your water pump. Hopefully you havent cracked your heads. If your car doesnt over heat after removing the thermostat, but you still have no heat in the car. Then its your heater core that needs replacing. Always replace your thermostat whenever replacing the water pump.


Why wouldn't you have heat in your ram250 van when the hoses into and out of the heater core get hotwarm after idling even tho the water in the radiator doesnt get warm?

Sounds like your thermostat is done for. The water in the hoses is probably heating up from being close to the hot engine. This continued to happen to me after i replaced the thermostat twice thinking maybe i had bought a bad thermostat turns out it was the heater core. Both the front and back were pluged.
