How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If water is dripping onto electrical parts, isolate power to nearby circuits and call a professional.

  • Dry the unit: Remove the thermostat from the wall and allow it to dry in a warm, dry room for 24 hours. Do not use direct heat or hairdryers.
  • Seal wall penetrations: Seal gaps around the cable entry with appropriate filler to prevent moist air movement.
  • Relocate if necessary: Avoid installing thermostats in bathrooms or directly above sinks.
  • If corrosion is visible: Replace the thermostat, as long‑term reliability will be compromised.
