Stayed at an AirBnB a while back, they had the digital thermostat locked in at 62 degrees, it was winter in a beach town.

I google the stat, found the maintenance code and moved the max up to 72 for our stay :)

Was about as effective as this label :)

    If the event that doesn’t work, buy a can of compressed air and turn it upside down.

    Spray the thermostat.

    The air that comes out is very cold and will fool the t-stat into turning on.

    Conversely, if it’s took hot, microwave some wet paper towels and put them underneath.

    I think I would probably try ice cubes in a Ziploc baggy, taped to the thermostat. It should last a hell of a long time.

    Of course, the problem there is regulation. You just need the heater to come on a few extra minutes an hour.
