Possible Causes

Corrupted calibration data in memory, Extreme temperature exposure outside design range, Manufacturing tolerance drift of NTC sensor, Firmware bug in calibration routine

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No high‑voltage work is required.

  • Compare with reference: Place a reliable digital thermometer near the thermostat and compare readings after 30 minutes.
  • Apply offset (if available): In the thermostat settings, use the temperature calibration/offset feature to correct minor differences (e.g., ±1–2 °C).
  • Factory reset: Perform a factory reset to reload default calibration data, then recheck readings.
  • Relocate if exposed: If the thermostat is in a draft, direct sun, or near a heat source, relocate it to a more representative location.
  • Replace if large error remains: If readings are off by more than the offset range and E17 persists, the internal sensor or calibration is defective; replace the thermostat.
