Possible Causes

Thermostat installed above radiator or heat source, Direct sunlight on thermostat, Blocked ventilation slots, Faulty internal temperature monitoring circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before relocating the thermostat.

  • Check mounting location: If the thermostat is above a radiator, near a fireplace, or in direct sun, relocate it to a cooler interior wall.
  • Improve ventilation: Ensure the thermostat is not covered by curtains, furniture, or decorative covers that trap heat.
  • Allow cooling: Leave the thermostat powered off for 30 minutes, then power back on and monitor.
  • Persistent error: If error 116 appears even in a cool, well-ventilated location, the internal sensor or PCB is likely faulty and the unit should be replaced.
