A numeric display with all segments on will show the numeral 8. Been this way since neon pixie disolays, through fluorescents and early LEDs. There is something wrong with the display controller, unless this is a fault mode for the heating/AC thermostat itself. Says nothing in the thermostat manual?

From the OP: Really weird I turned it off for 10 mins and it is working now. It is 74 outside so I hope it is not too hot

We live in Ohio and during the winter our heat is set at 65. So spring break in Florida is humind and hot to us. So yes at 74 and humind we and our husky are really hot. During the summer we would be finw

Some people like the dehumidified air, some like the white noise.

Really weird. 74 outside and you need A/C on?

Click here for the thermostat manual. I'd try a reset to see if that would work.

Where I encounter the "88"s are when the temperature is too hot. The thermostat then locks out the A/C... but not the fan, so I end up running the fan until the rig is cooled down, then reset the thermostat, and then I usually can get the A/C on.
