How To Diagnose Your Thermostat
Your thermostat is one of those things you do not pay close
attention to until it breaks down. Below are the list of the most
common solutions and problems you might find useful:
Furnace Will Not Start
Below are some things to try if the furnace will not turn on:
 Check your power source, searching for things like
dead batteries, tripped breakers, and blown fuses.
 Check for dust, dirt, nicotine buildup, and spider webs.
They may coat the interior of the thermostat and cause its electrical and
mechanical elements to malfunction. In order to clean, utilize a soft brush, such
as a clean paintbrush, to delicately brush the inside components. In addition,
compressed air is helpful in cleaning the thermostat out.
 Check for any loose screws and loose or corroded wires inside your thermostat.
Make certain that you cut the power off before removing your thermostat cover
and check your owner’s manual to make sure there are correct wiring
schematics.
 While conducting these easy repairs might not fix the problem, they may assist
you in narrowing down the problem to make it simpler for the repair technician to
rapidly figure out the cause and the problem.
Room Setting and Temperature Do Not Match
One other functionality you should check before you call a professional is whether your
thermostat keeps your room at the right temperature or not.
To do that, tape a little thermometer on the wall close to your thermostat, making sure
that you put a paper towel behind your thermometer so that it will not be affected by
cold or heat transfer from the wall. Try to wait for a minimum of 15 minutes to make sure
that the temperature is stabilized and providing a correct reading and compare it to the
thermostat’s reading.
If the numbers are more than one degree apart, your thermostat is probably not offering
an accurate reading.

Unit Will Not Turn Off Or Frequently Switches On and Off
Try the following easy repairs to get the unit properly functioning again:
 Check for residue and dirt buildup. It’s frequently the cause of most problems.
 See if your box is level.
 Adjust its temperature lower or higher to check if that has an effect upon the
length it remains on or its likelihood of turning off.
