How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Warning: Turn off power to the HVAC system before touching wiring.

  • Step 1 – Check wiring:
    • Ensure R and C wires are firmly connected at both thermostat and furnace board.
    • Inspect thermostat cable for damage.
  • Step 2 – Measure voltage:
    • Measure AC voltage between R and C at the thermostat; should be stable around 24VAC.
  • Step 3 – Improve ventilation:
    • Ensure the thermostat is not covered or blocked; overheating can cause resets.
  • Step 4 – Firmware update and reset:
    • Update firmware via the Gosund app and perform a factory reset.
  • Step 5 – Replace thermostat if reboots persist:
    • Persistent random reboots with stable power indicate a failing main PCB; replace the thermostat.
