HVAC Home thermosat Q, need help please

The main kill switch should be easy to get too,
It is there for any emergency or when work needs to be done on the heater.
The heater doors should just lift up and slide off or have a handle to turn and open to access the air filter,
And also to do maintenance on the heater.

I should just delete your post cause you're WRONG. LOL

Gas heat the gas valve is the load. In his electric unit he has either a contactor, sequencer, or a series of either (depending on the KW) that is the load wired in series with the heat anticipator.
If you don't believe that Ray cut that little silver wire and go get your quilt. LOL

Here is an example of a sequencer. (probably what you have)

Just call the landlord and complain about no heat ... he is required to fix it.

I think I might do that. Besides the heat, one stove element control is burnt out again. Cheap stove...

Last time the control on a stove element went I had to show the guy how to fix it. First time he puts the wrong rheostat in and it didn't work so he had to come back with the right part. Why can't I get a cushy job where you get 2 tries at fixing a very simple problem??? I'll keep working on that...

When my satellite dish went bad, the guy they sent had no idea how to even attach a new dish to the bracket, it was 100F* plus out in So Cal, I had to show him how to do it and also help him to HOLD the parts while he fastens them on all the while he was complaining how difficult was for him to live with his girl friend.
One thing for sure, you won't find him or the likes here on the Forum.
