ESW 25 ep and Skytech remote

[Jason845845]

Installed a skytech 3003 remote this morning in a ESW 25-ep. I have set the control board to ON/OFF. I have "learned" the transmitter to the receiver. The receiver will beep when I hit the mode button. The stove will not respond. I can give the wires a tug and they're in tight. Im about ready to yank the thing out and put the jumper back in and return it. Help!

edit: I can make the stove turn on by using the slider on the receiver, but that is the only way I can get anything related to the thermostat to function at all.

edit: I guess i don't need a thermostat.

Not to be a smart ass but did you push the "on" button on the stove?

Not a smart ass question at all! And yes, I did. The thing is packaged up and ready to go back. Going to Lowe's to get a simple thermostat.

I just asked because some people install stats and forget to do that step......Thought about putting one on mine but never did....hopefully the next one works out for you.

Call up Englander before you send it back. I had issues with my Skytech 3301P and Mike was able to walk me through it.

It was an error on my end.

Yep. Nothing was wrong with it except for a dumb owner. I would like to suggest that you guys start shipping these thermostats with solid thermostat wire as opposed to the stranded wire they currently ship with. The solid wire seems to "find it's home" in the wiring block much much easier when you're hanging upside down over the back of the stove.

Dumb owner...my stove seems to have the same problem all the time. Must have been the same ESW production run! Glad you got it working. Putting my stove on a stat was the best thing I ever did. I love hearing it kick on automatically at 4 am or whenever it gets too cold in the house.
