Possible Causes
Thermostat installed in atypical location (cold draft, warm niche), Internal sensor offset, Heat from electronics affecting reading, Sunlight exposure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No electrical work required.
- 1. Compare readings: Place a reliable thermometer next to the thermostat and compare after 30 minutes.
- 2. Check location: Ensure the thermostat is not near doors, windows, radiators, or electronics that emit heat.
- 3. Apply offset: If your Vaillant model supports it, adjust the temperature offset in the settings to match the reference thermometer.
- 4. Relocate thermostat: If the location is unsuitable, have the thermostat moved to a better representative position in the main living area.
- 5. Replace if extreme: If readings are wildly inaccurate and do not respond to offset, the internal sensor may be faulty and the thermostat should be replaced.
