Possible Causes
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.
