  • Incorrect Temperature Reading: Verify that the thermostat is not exposed to direct heat sources (e.g., sunlight, lamps) or cold drafts. Ensure proper air circulation around the unit.
  • Heating Not Activating: Check your programmed schedule to ensure the thermostat is set to a heating period and the desired temperature is above the current room temperature. Verify the heating system itself is operational.
