The thermostat is not the old round style, it is programmable. The wheel I mentioned is on the left side and allows overriding the set temp, among other functions. Batteries are ok, I suspect air is the problem. The furnace sat all summer and now that cooler weather has arrived, this problem has surfaced. It's sporadic. Most of the time it starts up fine. This morning I heard the induction motor star, run for about 5 seconds, shut down, then immediately start up again. I get the proper red flashes, fast red when calling for heart, slow red when not. Assuming it is air in the line how do I bleed it?
