How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety note: Only minimal work is needed; avoid opening mains compartments.
Steps to correct:
- 1. Compare with reliable thermometer: Place a calibrated thermometer near the thermostat and compare readings over 15–20 minutes.
- 2. Seal cable entry: If cold air is entering through the cable hole behind the thermostat, seal it with non-flammable filler or foam (power off first).
- 3. Adjust offset: Use the thermostat’s temperature offset or calibration setting to correct the displayed temperature.
- 4. Relocate if necessary: If the wall is significantly warmer/colder than the room, consider relocating the thermostat to a more representative location.
When to call a professional: If the reading is unstable or varies wildly, the sensor may be failing and the thermostat should be replaced.
