There are three kinds of thermostats:
As you’re aware the majority of technologically advanced things, there are regular malfunctions that might occur. The majority of of these troubles don’t need Expert help and are uncomplicated enough to solve by yourself.
Each Honeywell thermostat has a special set of codes that correspond to the problems that happen.
Think how simple it can be to restore a computer by restarting it. In most cases, diagnosing a thermostat can be just as uncomplicated.
Here is a listing the most encountered Honeywell thermostat issues. These are applicable to the following programmable thermostats:
If the monitor is blank on your programmable thermostat, you could need to put in new batteries. If that doesn’t take care of the malfunction or you have a smart thermostat, there might be a wiring malfunction.
Next, you should check the power is flowing for your furnace or air handler. Confirm the switch near the indoor unit is switched “on”.
Also, you should confirm all furnace cabinet or air handler doors/panels are securely secured.
A loose panel may activate the safety switch, which cuts off power to the system.
Infrequently, a blank monitor may indicate you should get a new thermostat.
Ensure that your thermostat is on “cool” or “heat,” not “off.”
During warm weather, confirm you put the thermostat lower than the ambient temperature. When it’s cool, verify it’s higher. This sounds silly, but we’ve seen it take place many times.
Ensure the power switch near your indoor unit is in the “on” position. You should also check the cabinet doors or panels are closed on your furnace cabinet or air handler. An unsecured panel can activate the safety switch, cutting off current to the system.
Equipment still won’t turn on? Confirm circuit breakers haven’t turned off and that your HVAC equipment isn’t showing error codes.
To start, make sure your thermostat is switched to “cool” or “heat.”
Then, make sure it’s signaling the appropriate system to turn on. This is often demonstrated by “cool on,” “heat on” or an illustration.
If this phrase or the picture is blinking, your thermostat is in a five-minute delay status. This feature stops your unit from bad short cycling. This can happen if you lose power.
