Last year and the year before I saw a lot of complaints on the forum regarding the MVAE thermostat going blank.
It happened to mine a few times last year but I didn't consider it much of a problem because it was easy to reset.
This fall I got the wall finished that is the final location for my thermostat and I relocated it there. The new location required more wire than was supplied by Quadrafire so I chose to replace the wire rather than splice it.
We are far enough into the heating season that I expected to see the thermostat go blank, but it hasn't happened. That's when I noticed that nobody else, on the forum, is complaining about it happening to theirs.
So my question; "Is anybody having thermostat problems with their MVAE this year?"
It is possible that the wire was responsible for the thermostat problems I was experiencing. There is a phenomenon called triboelectric effect ( I wouldn't make up a name like that), in which movement of the insulation on the wire generates a static charge. That static charge can interfere with signals on the wire. I am thinking that the change in wire resolved my problem.
At this point I am just curious, It seems that I no longer have a problem to fix.
