7 TROUBLESHOOTING

Reset Operation

If a voltage spike or static discharge blanks out the display or causes erratic thermostat operation you can reset the thermo-

stat by pressing and at the same time while moving the SYSTEM switch from OFF to HEAT. This also resets the factory defaults. If the thermostat has power, has been reset

and still does not function correctly contact your heating/cooling service person or place of purchase.

Batteries

For optimum performance, we recommend replacing batteries once a year with fresh “AAA” Energizer® alkaline batteries.

Symptom

Possible Cause

No Heat/No Cool/No Fan

1. Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.

(common problems)

2. Furnace power switch to OFF.

 

3.

Furnace blower compartment door or

 

 

panel loose or not properly installed.

No Heat

1. Pilot light not lit.

 

2.

SYSTEM Switch not set to HEAT.

 

3.

Loose connection to thermostat or system.

 

4.

Furnace Lock-Out Condition. Heat may also

 

 

be intermittent.

 

5.

Heating system requires service or

 

 

thermostat requires replacement.

No Cool

1.

SYSTEM Switch not set to Cool.

 

2. Loose connection to thermostat or system.

 

3.

Cooling system requires service or

 

 

thermostat requires replacement.

Corrective Action

Replace fuse or reset breaker. Turn switch to ON.

Replace door panel in proper position to engage safety interlock or door switch.

Re-light pilot.

Set SYSTEM Switch to HEAT and raise setpoint temperature above room temperature.

Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached.

Many furnaces have safety devices that shut down when a lock-out condition occurs. If the heat works intermittently contact the furnace manufacturer or local service person for assistance.

Diagnostic: Set SYSTEM Switch to HEAT and raise the setpoint above room temperature. Within a few seconds the thermostat should make a soft click sound. This sound usually indicates the thermostat is operating properly. If the thermostat does not click, try the reset operation listed below. If the thermostat does not click after being reset contact your heating and cooling service person or place of purchase for a replacement. If the thermostat clicks, contact the furnace manufac turer or a service person to verify the heating is operating correctly.

Set SYSTEM Switch to COOL and lower setpoint temperature below room temperature.

Verify thermostat and system wires are securely attached.

Same procedure as diagnostic for No Heat condition except set the thermostat to COOL and lower the setpoint below the room temperature. There may be up to a five minute delay before the thermostat clicks in Cooling.
