How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No high-voltage work is required.
- Verify with hygrometer: Use a separate hygrometer to compare humidity readings near the thermostat.
- Allow drying time: After painting, cleaning, or high humidity events, allow 24 hours for the sensor to stabilize.
- Clean vents: Gently blow dust out of the thermostat vents with dry compressed air.
- Disable humidity control: If readings are unreliable, temporarily disable humidity-based control features to prevent improper operation until the thermostat can be replaced.
