Possible Causes

Loose R or C connection, Marginal 24 V transformer capacity, Short spikes from contactor coils, Internal power regulator fault on thermostat PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power to the HVAC system before tightening any wiring.

  • Check wiring at thermostat: Remove the thermostat and ensure R and C wires are firmly secured with no corrosion or broken strands.
  • Inspect at control board: Tighten R and C terminals and verify the thermostat cable is not damaged or pinched.
  • Measure voltage under load: With a multimeter, monitor 24 V between R and C while the system starts. Large dips may indicate an undersized or failing transformer.
  • Reduce load: If multiple devices share the same 24 V transformer, consider adding a dedicated transformer for accessories.
  • Replace thermostat if needed: If power is stable but reboots continue, the thermostat’s internal power circuitry may be defective.
