I am hoping that someone might have a suggestion.....

I bought a ritetemp digital thermostat from Home Depot. I have a two
wire system, one white and one black wire.

I followe the instructions for 2 wire wiring and everything worked
fine. Two weeks later I came home to find the furnace running
eventhough the thermostat was in the "OFF" position. I returned the
thermostat and got a new ritetemp digital. I wired it up and I am
having the same problem. I reversed the wires and there is no change.
I have one wire to the "W" and the second to the "RH" that has the
jumper.

Is it my wiring, the thermostat or an issue at the furnace?

It's almost always the thermostat. It's normal to have to go through several
of those RiteTemp thermostats before you find one that works. I guess you
lucked out on the first one, and got one that worked. Keep trying. You might
get one that works again.

Might have to bring home three or four at a time, to save trips to the
store. Price of gas, and all.

Oh, don't you love those Rite Temps? Honeywell work much better. Sad
that you got a defective thermostat.

One friend of mine went through four thermostats before he finally
called me into the picture. It was an old Heil 80 percenter. He had to
turn off the switch on the side of the furnace to turn the furnace
off. I did some trouble shooting and replaced the defective..... well,
you trade boys know what I replaced.
