Possible Causes
Thermostat installed in poorly ventilated wall box, Continuous backlight at high brightness, Internal power supply inefficiency, Nearby heat source warming the unit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power before removing the thermostat from the wall.
Steps to troubleshoot:
- Remove the thermostat and inspect the wall box; ensure there is space for air circulation and no insulation packed tightly behind it.
- Reduce display brightness or set backlight to auto-off in the settings to lower internal heat.
- Verify that the thermostat is not installed above a heat source or in direct sunlight; relocate if necessary.
- If the thermostat remains unusually hot and shows overtemperature errors, replace it; internal components may be failing.
