Possible Causes

Auto-schedule or learning feature enabled, Remote users changing settings via app, Integration with third-party smart home platform, Stuck or ghost-touching touchscreen

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No electrical work is required.

Steps to stop random changes:

  • 1. Disable auto features: Turn off any auto-schedule, learning, or adaptive recovery features in the thermostat settings.
  • 2. Check app access: Review who has access to the Goodman app and remove any unauthorized users. Change account passwords if needed.
  • 3. Review integrations: Disable or adjust any third-party integrations (e.g., voice assistants, home automation hubs) that may be sending commands.
  • 4. Observe touchscreen behavior: If the screen appears to register touches on its own, the touch panel may be failing and the thermostat should be replaced.
