No low‑voltage supply from boiler or PSU, Depleted batteries, Internal firmware crash, Damaged thermostat PCB from surge or moisture

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Isolate mains power before removing wired thermostats from the wall.

  • 1. Check power source: For wired units, verify the boiler or external PSU is powered and supplying the correct voltage. For battery units, replace batteries with new ones.
  • 2. Hard reset: Remove the thermostat from its base or remove batteries for 1–2 minutes, then refit to force a reboot.
  • 3. Inspect for damage: Look for signs of water ingress, corrosion, or burning on the thermostat housing.
  • 4. Test supply at terminals: Use a multimeter to confirm voltage at the thermostat base. If absent, trace back to the boiler or PSU.
  • 5. Replace thermostat: If supply is correct but the unit remains blank or frozen, replace the thermostat.
