Possible Causes

Aging LED backlight, Faulty display driver circuit on Fibaro PCB, Low supply voltage to display section, Heat damage from prolonged high temperature operation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before removing the thermostat if you need to inspect it.

Steps to address dim display:

  • 1. Adjust brightness settings:
    • Check the thermostat menu for backlight or brightness options and increase if available.
  • 2. Power cycle:
    • Turn off power for a few minutes and restore to see if brightness returns.
  • 3. Check for heat sources:
    • Ensure the thermostat is not exposed to continuous high temperatures which can age the display.
  • 4. Replace front module:
    • If the display remains dim and unreadable, the backlight or driver has likely failed; replace the thermostat front/display module.

When to call a professional: For in‑warranty devices, contact Fibaro support or your installer for a replacement rather than attempting internal repairs.
