Troubleshoot on the schematic/wiring diagram to find the defective thermostat. Order a replacement part. Remove all outer covers to gain access to the thermostat. Only tool needed for this is a #2 phillips screwdriver. Cut the leads on the defective part and remove thermostat and replace thermostat, wire cutters/crimper required, splice the thermostat leads, Reassemble the outer covers.
