Programmable Thermostat

I'm no expert, but all of that sounds normal to me. You set the desired temp to 84, the thermostat then switches and tells your the current room temp which is 72, the thermostat is telling the heater that it is calling for heat and the heater LED's indicate that is what is correctly happening, and over time the room temp will gradually increase until it reaches the desired temp that you set (84), and then the heater will turn off.

I expect that also, but I'm uusally disappointed.

Sorry, dot.

When the heater raises the room temp from 72 degrees to the desired temp (82 degrees), the heater turns off. Then, the room temp drops back down to 72 degrees before the heater comes on again. Is this 10-degree drop "normal"?

With all the thermostats I've dealt with, no it's not but I never dealt with your thermostat.

Yes, what is not normal is heating to 82 degrees. You need to re-bait the troll line.

The OP left out so much information, it is impossible to give a really intelligent reply. For example: type of heat, location, type of dwelling, time of day testing was done, phase of the moon, room where thermostat is located, why he/she put in a new thermostat/what was wrong with old one, etc - - - - - .
