Troubleshooting a Honeywell Thermostat Won’t Turn On
Most people know that Honeywell thermostats are reliable and efficient, but sometimes even the best of controls can malfunction. If you find that your Honeywell thermostat won’t turn on, it may be due to several factors. We’ve broken them down into a series of simple troubleshooting steps to get your Honeywell back up and running quickly.
Check the GFCI Outlet
If your Honeywell thermostat will power up, but won’t turn on, it may be because the GFCI outlet is not working correctly. To conduct this quick test, locate the reset button near the power cord, and check to see if it tripped. If so, press the reset button, then plug the Honeywell back in and check for activity.
Check The Thermostat Settings
Another possible cause of a Honeywell thermostat that won’t turn on may be due to incorrect settings. Make sure the display is not set to off or sleep mode, or that the fan or heating/cooling mode is not set to “off.”
Check The Electrical System
If neither of the above solutions has worked, then it’s time to check the electrical system. Make sure the power cord has not been damaged; if you’re using a wall outlet, unplug the thermostat and inspect the wiring. If your Honeywell thermostat is connected to a gas or air conditioning system, make sure both are working properly.
Have A Professional Check It Out
If all else fails, you can always contact a professional. They will be able to determine whether your Honeywell thermostat needs to be serviced or replaced.
To sum up, if you find your Honeywell thermostat won’t turn on, you should:
-
- Check the GFCI Outlet
-
- Check the thermostat settings
-
- Check the electrical system
-
- Have a professional check it out
By following these simple troubleshooting steps, you can get your Honeywell thermostat up and running again in no time.
