  If the indoor temperature display on your American Thermostat is incorrect: 1. The indoor temperature display may need calibration. Calibrate the temperature sensor from Sensor Settings or use a remote temperature sensor. 2. Heat from the touch screen may be trapped within the thermostat body. Move the control away from any competing air streams or use a remote indoor sensor.

  Jennifer KleinAug 31, 2025
  If the cooling or heating cycles too fast on your American Thermostat, it could be because: 1. The Control is located in a drafty area. Seal air leaks behind the control, relocate it, or use a remote indoor temperature sensor. 2. The cycles per hour setting might be improperly configured. Adjust the cycle rates in the Advanced Installer Setup.

Why is my American Thermostat fan set to ON but not running?
- C
  Cindy AdamsSep 5, 2025
  If your American Thermostat fan is set to 'ON' but isn't running, it could be due to: 1. Humidity Control being engaged. If the indoor humidity is higher than the desired setpoint, the blower will cycle off with the equipment. A humidity icon will be displayed on the Fan Mode button when the blower operation is being inhibited due to high humidity. 2. A field wiring issue. 3. A non-functioning blower motor. In this case, check or repair the system.

  If your American Thermostat's heat pump isn't activating, and only the furnace or electric heat strips are running, it could be because: 1. The outdoor temperature is below the compressor lockout temperature setting. If desired, adjust the compressor lockout temperature setting. 2. The system mode is set to Emergency Heat. 3. The outdoor unit may require service. Check or repair the outdoor temperature sensor or wiring.
