Possible Causes
Loose internal component on Wyze board, Slightly undersized transformer causing coil buzz, Resonance between thermostat and wall, Defective internal relay or inductor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off HVAC power at the breaker before removing the thermostat display.
- Confirm source of noise: Place your ear near the thermostat to verify the sound is from the thermostat and not from ducts or the furnace.
- Reseat and pad wall plate: Remove the display and ensure the wall plate is firmly mounted. Add a thin foam gasket behind the plate to reduce vibration transfer from the wall.
- Check transformer sizing: Have a technician verify that the furnace transformer is properly sized and not overloaded, which can cause audible hum.
- Replace thermostat if noise persists: If the buzzing is clearly from the thermostat and does not change with transformer replacement or mounting adjustments, replace the Wyze thermostat display.
