Recently bought a house with a Quadra Fire 1200 for supplemental heat. It would only respond to the thermostat if I manually moved it up or down. The local tech said the thermostat was not sensitive enough, so I did the adjustment he recommended and it would turn on when the temperature dropped below the setting. However, when the temperature exceeded the setting, it did not turn off. He recommended a new thermostat. Installed new thermo and am still having the problem. Comes on fine, but has to be manually turned off by moving thermostat setting to a few degrees below requested turnoff setting. Put another thermometer in the room and the temperature is exceeding turnoff setting. Any other ideas?

Okay. My thermostat is set at 65. When it drops below 65 the stove comes on. The thermostat shows as high as 72 and the stove hasn't turned off yet. What do you mean by 5 degrees higher?
We had a Quadra Fire thermostat and now we put on a White-Rodgers. Neither are digital.
If you don't have a thermostat you can put a jumper on the connections on the rear until you get 1.
We have 2 thermostats now. I can turn the thermostat (either one) up and down to control the stove. I would like it to work automatically.
Where mine is set it come on at 68 and off at 72. I am still using the junk thermostat that came with my new stove, I like it, reliable.
because a bad wire connection or a broken wire could be causing it to not work right. why would two t-stats do the same exact thing? tells me something beside the t-stat may be the problem
Does the red call light stay on until you MANUALLY turn the thermostat way down or does it go off when you would expect it to a couple of degrees below set point? Also, on a manual thermostat, the 'anticipator' should be turned to the lowest setting number according to my manual.
