Possible Causes
Mechanical relay chatter due to low voltage, Loose wall plate causing vibration, Failing internal relay
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off HVAC power at the breaker before reseating the thermostat.
- Reseat thermostat: Remove and firmly snap the thermostat back onto the wall plate to eliminate mechanical play.
- Check voltage: Have a technician verify that the 24V supply is stable and within spec; low voltage can cause relay chatter.
- Observe pattern: If buzzing occurs only when switching modes, it may be normal brief relay operation. Continuous or loud buzzing suggests a failing relay.
Persistent loud buzzing usually indicates internal relay failure; replace the thermostat.
