  If your One Hour Thermostat isn't producing heat, cool air, or running the fan, check the following: * Ensure that the fuse hasn't blown or the circuit breaker hasn't tripped; replace the fuse or reset the breaker if needed. * Make sure the furnace power switch is in the ON position. * Verify the furnace blower compartment door panel is correctly in place to engage the safety interlock or door switch. * Confirm all connections to the thermostat and system are tightened.

Why is my One Hour Thermostat not producing heat?

  If your One Hour Thermostat is not producing heat, take these steps: 1. Ensure the system is set to 'Heat'. 2. Check that all thermostat and system wires are securely attached. 3. To diagnose, set the system to 'Heat' and raise the setpoint above room temperature. Within five minutes, the thermostat should make a soft click and “Heat On” should appear on the display. If the thermostat clicks, contact the furnace manufacturer or a service person to verify the heating system is operating correctly. If it doesn't click, try resetting it. If it still doesn't click after resetting, contact your heating and cooling service person or place of purchase for a replacement.

  If your One Hour Thermostat isn't cooling, follow these steps: 1. Make sure the system is set to 'Cool'. 2. Verify all thermostat and system wires are securely attached. 3. For diagnostics, set the system to 'Cool' and lower the setpoint below room temperature. The same procedures as diagnostic for “No Heat” condition except set the thermostat to Cool and lower the setpoint below the room temperature.

  If the heat, cool, or fan runs constantly on your One Hour Thermostat, there may be a short in the wiring, thermostat, or system. Inspect each wire connection to ensure they aren't shorted or touching other wires. Try resetting the thermostat. If the issue continues, contact your HVAC service person.

Why does my One Hour Thermostat cycle too fast or slow?
- M
  Michael AvilaAug 26, 2025
  If your One Hour Thermostat cycles too fast or slow, it might be due to the thermostat's location or the heating system's size. Digital thermostats offer precise control and cycle faster than older models, turning on and off more frequently for shorter durations. To increase cycle time, select SLO for slow cycle in the Installer menu. If an acceptable cycle rate isn't achieved, contact your HVAC service person.

  The “Call for Service” icon on your One Hour Thermostat indicates a few potential issues: * The heating system can't raise the space temperature to within 10 degrees of the setpoint in 2 hours.
