      If the digital display thermostat lights up, dims out, lights up, dims out at irregular intervals, it could be due to several reasons, including pump operation defects, excessively high refrigerant pressure, excessively high water temperature, loss of refrigerant, fan motor failure, evaporator freeze-up, low ambient temperature, or coil obstruction (evaporator). Check for pump operation defects.

      Lisa JenkinsAug 27, 2025
      If the digital display thermostat is active, but the compressor and the ventilator refuse to operate, wait for the 5-minute time delay, raise the desired temperature level, review the thermostat's programming. Note that the unit will restart automatically when the water temperature falls below the thermostat setting.
