Thermostat does not follow programmed schedule; changes temperature at unexpected times

Safety: No electrical work is required.

• Review schedule: In the thermostat menu or Ruud app, review each day's schedule for overlapping time periods or unintended setpoints. Correct as needed.
• Check smart features: Disable features like adaptive recovery, occupancy-based setbacks, or learning algorithms temporarily to see if behavior normalizes.
• Sync with app: If using a mobile app, ensure the app and thermostat are synchronized. Avoid editing schedules simultaneously from multiple devices.
• Factory reset (last resort): If erratic behavior continues, perform a factory reset and re-enter the schedule from scratch.
