White-Rodgers thermostat not working?
Try cleaning the terminal contacts where the battery goes. The stat is battery powered which you already know. The reason the fan comes on with a dead battery is because when you flip the fan switch to ON is mechanical and completes the circuit. When the batteries are installed and working though the battery power is electronically control the heat and cool through the circuit board. Thus the click noise you hear. You might also want to check the furnace control board and verify that the 3amp fuse is not blown. You may and I say may have a bad 24V transformer this powers the control board. If no luck with the terminal cleaning, then I suspect the stat is bad and needs to be replaced. You can replace the thermostat yourself. Just dont buy a POS one at walmart they are JUNK! You just need one that is battery powered, that will do gas and electric.
How do I set my Hunter thermostat?
I have a Hunter 44155c. It wont heat the house past 60 and im freezing!!!!!! Ive tryed changing the temp but it just keeps on going back to 60.. ive found a manual but it didn't help.. probably because it doesn't make any sense to me but I did what they asked and it didn't work. It was an online manual. All I want is for my heat to come on more then twice a day for 3 minutes.. I cant find a video on YouTube for the model I have so idk help???? If you can!
My Hunter thermostat says ReCo. What does this mean?
You can call the Hunter help desk at 1-888-830-1326. Give them your model number and they will talk you through the correction. Reco stands for recovery. An auto thermostat sometimes gets caught between cycles. It is simply the "Auto Recovery Mode". It has to do with the energy savings feature and will happen when there is a scheduled change in temperature that will require the furnace/air conditioner to kick on. It's just trying to change, or track, the temperature properly before the start of the next program period to keep it from having to work harder and cost you more money. If you pull it off the wall and turn it over you can disable the "Auto Recovery" switch (SW4 usually) it will no longer do it. Leaving it on won't hurt anything but it may save you a few extra dollars every month
If the batteries in a thermostat are almost dead, will the furnace not work properly?
No, the furnace would not work correctly. The batteries serve 2 purposes. The first being to power the display so that you see the current settings on the stat and to just them accordingly. Second (and more importantly) the batteries power a relay that sends low voltage (24 vac) back down to the furnace to signal the circuit board to engage the desired services. If the batteries are not providing enough power the relay will not remained closed. Especially for air conditioning, where 2 relays need to be engaged, 1 for the condenser (outside) and the other the fan (inside).
Can I override recovery mode on my thermostat?
A programmable thermostat is the only type I know of that has a recovery period, So the answer is absolutely yes, you may override it.That is just the set temperature or time period, however. The recovery period is By definition the time it takes to bring about the temperature you desire by the time you have set. If it is 80° in your house and you want it at 75, you cannot change the temperature on the thermostat and magically make the House 75°. That is the whole point of the recovery period.If the house is not reaching the temperature you want by the time you want, you need to increase the recovery period Rather than overriding it.For example, if you want the House at 75° at 5 PM, and when you get home at 5 PM the house is 78°, that means a longer recovery period is needed. The AC needs more time to cool the house down to 75°.
Why is my Honeywell thermostat blinking?
Most Honeywell thermostats blink when in a time delay for the cooling (or heating if it’s a heat pump) this time delay feature protects the compressor form cranking too soon following a short off cycle or a power outage. The cool on, heat on, snowflake or flame icon will be blinking if this is the case.Some Honeywell stats will blink “filter” if it has a filter reminder setting available. When u change your filter just hold the filter button down to reset it and it will reset and start blinking when it's time has elapsed on filter timer. Which can be set for 30–90 days.If a little battery icon or words “replace batt” are blinking then replace your batteries. Some models you have to remove front plate to gain access to battery compartment or pull the whole stat from its base, others will have a swing door at the base of the stat. The swing door opens from the top right side of tstat.Programmable Honeywell stats will blink if you are in a setup mode or if the clock is not set.We would have to know what is blinking and what model stat u have to answer the question properly. But I hope this points you in the right direction
Thermostats: What's the difference between hold and set?
Hold is a set point that will remain the same until the thermostat is taken off "hold". Set points vary, and can be programmed to be different according to a schedule or pattern, most usually to prevent heating or cooling an unoccupied space to an unnecessary degree, which results in cost savings. Hold overrides all preset set points.
What should I do to fix a Honeywell RTH7500 thermostat which is stuck on "Permanent Hold"?
Permanent hold is the thermostat mode where time program is by-passed and the permanent temperature is applied.Your thermostat can aqdjust the room temperature in 2 ways:1. By means of a time schedule program ("use schedule button") where you input the hours you want your thermostat to heat (or cool) the room. In automatic mode, your thermostat will switch the heating system on and off depending on the schedule you entered.2. By means of a permanent temperature setting ("hold" button) through which you by pass the program schedule and you manually set the temperature each moment through your thermostat adjustment.In order to leave the "permanent hold" mode, you only have to press the "use schedule" button on your thermostat.If you do not see a "use schedule" button, the most obvious reason is that you cannot see it because you have not set a schedule time program. Set one, and you will see the "use schedule" button.
