That Honeywell thermostat is probably a really good choice. I've had good luck with Honeywell over the years.
As Sound guy says, all thermostats operate pretty much the same with a bimetal setup. That's good information if you replace it. There are also some thermostats that require 24V to be present (residential furnace), avoid those.
I'd suggest to observe the fitment of the case to the body of the thermostat. It maybe like chainegang said an the mechanism is binding or it could be your interupting the circuit because a wire is moved or connection loosened. It may be the flexing of the body...unknown. I'm cheap so I would modify the cover to avoid the problem. The heat gun would probably be my first tool.
Good luck with that issue, at least you can operate the furnace to keep warm. Today, it is real cold, here.
