How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Soft reboot: Remove the thermostat from the wall for 30 seconds, then reattach to reboot it.
  • Clean screen: Wipe the screen gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquids that could seep into the edges.
  • Check for physical damage: Inspect the glass/plastic for cracks or impact marks that could damage the digitizer.
  • Factory reset (if possible): If any buttons still work, perform a factory reset from the settings menu.
  • If still unresponsive: The touchscreen assembly or UI controller is likely failed. Replace the thermostat.
