Possible Causes

Aging display module, Low transformer voltage, Loose display connector, Failing control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before handling internal electronics.

Steps:

  • Check transformer output: Measure the 24V AC transformer output with a multimeter. Replace the Clack 24V transformer if voltage is low.
  • Inspect display connector: Remove the front cover and ensure the display module connector is firmly seated on the control board.
  • Test with known-good transformer: If available, test with a spare transformer to rule out power issues.
  • Replace display module: If voltage is correct and connections are secure, replace the display module. If the new display is also dim, the control board may be failing and should be replaced.

Tip: Flickering that coincides with large electrical loads in the home may indicate supply voltage issues; consult an electrician if needed.
