That is a snap on cover. Right?. If so, the fact that the unit operates properly when cover is off indicats that something is binding the mechenism while cover is on. The most likely culprit is the back side of the cover is touching the coil spring that senses temperature. As it ciols and uncoils ever so slightly it closes the heater circuit or opens it depending on demand. Check REAL closely the back side of the cover to determine if that is a possibility. It takes very little abrasion to prevent proper movement. If replacement is desired the process is disconnecting/connecting two or three wires matching the connections with the old thermostat. Digital units I cannot comment on as have no knowledge.
