| Symptom | Possible Cause | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Cool ON or Heat ON is displayed, but no warm or cool air is coming from the registers. | 1. The heating equipment turns on the fan when the furnace has warmed up to a setpoint. | 1. Wait one minute after seeing the ON icon and then check the registers. |
| 2. Heating or cooling equipment is not operating. | 2. Check Heating and Cooling system. | |
| “Service“ Flashing on and off. | Control EEPROM write error. | Press any key and Check / Re-enter Setup Choices. |
| “Service” solid on and in temperature display. | Indoor temperature sensor open or shorted | Replace Control |
| Display will not come on. | 1. Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. | 1. Replace fuse or reset breaker. |
| 2. Furnace power switch OFF. | 2. Turn switch to ON. | |
| 3. Furnace blower compartment door or panel loose or not properly installed. | 3. Replace door panel in proper position to engage safety interlock or door switch. | |
| Temperature display is incorrect. | Temperature display needs calibration. | Calibrate Sensor. |
| Cannot set Heating setpoint above 80 degrees | Deadband between Heating and Cooling set to high | Decrease Deadband setting . |
| Temperature setting will not change. (Example: Cannot set heating higher or cooling lower). | 1. Upper and/or lower temperature limits were reached. | 1. Check the temperature setpoints: |
| Heating limits are 40 – 85F. | ||
| Cooling limits are 65 – 90F. | ||
| 2. “Keypad locked” is displayed on LCD. | 2. Unlock keypad – press Up+Down arrow together until icon disappears. |
