Possible Causes
Loose line connection causing momentary power loss, Voltage dips on circuit when heaters start, Internal power supply instability, Firmware crash
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power at the breaker before tightening any wiring.
Steps to troubleshoot random resets:
- 1. Observe pattern: Note whether resets occur when heaters turn on, when other large appliances start, or randomly.
- 2. Tighten connections: With power OFF, tighten all thermostat terminal screws and wire nuts in the wall box.
- 3. Check circuit loading: Ensure the heating circuit is not overloaded with multiple high-wattage devices that cause voltage dips.
- 4. Install surge/line conditioner: Consider adding a surge protector or line conditioner if your area has unstable voltage.
- 5. Firmware update: Update the thermostat firmware via the Stelpro app to address potential software crashes.
- 6. Replace thermostat: If resets continue despite stable power and updated firmware, the internal power supply or processor may be defective. Replace the thermostat.
Note: Frequent resets can interrupt heating and should be addressed promptly.
