How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety warning: For wired thermostats, turn off power at the breaker before inspecting terminals.

  • Battery models: Replace all batteries with fresh alkaline cells and ensure proper seating. Avoid mixing old and new batteries.
  • Wired models: With power off, remove the thermostat from its base and check that the low-voltage power wires are firmly secured in the correct terminals.
  • Check for shared circuits: Avoid powering the thermostat from a circuit with heavy loads that cause voltage dips (e.g., large motors) if possible.
  • Restore power and observe: After tightening connections, restore power and monitor the display. If flickering continues, the internal regulator may be defective.
