Every time the kids get home from school on a hot day, they crank the air conditioning upon the Honeywell Thermostat. Whenever we have visitors around, it’s on all the time since my friends love having a nice breeze blowing through their hair. This continuous harsh handling has caused many crashes in my thermostat.
Even though my thermostat was always being abused, it did teach me how to troubleshoot a problem. When the thermostat screen went blank and wouldn’t function, that was an issue. I realized I had to figure out how to reset my Honeywell Thermostat to get it working again. To help you out, I’ve included a list of all the Honeywell Thermostat series reset procedures in one article.
Turn your Honeywell Thermostat off, remove the batteries, and reinstall them in reverse polarity, with the negative terminals facing the positive terminals. Reinsert them in the proper order once 5 seconds have passed.
To reset your Honeywell Thermostat, you must first identify the model number of the device. The model number of the thermostat would be found mainly on a label on the front, shown on the rear, or verified via the digital interface.
Before resetting the thermostat, it is necessary to review the settings and reconfigure them per the model number of the thermostat. If the model number of the thermostat is located on the back of the device, you will need to remove it from the base plate to reach it.
I chose not to use a C-wire while installing my Honeywell Thermostat, which made the procedure much simpler for me. Follow these procedures to determine the model number of your thermostat located on the back of it:
- If your thermostat is powered by the mains, turn off the electricity by turning off the circuit breaker. Remove the batteries from the thermostat if you believe it is still operating (perhaps due to battery backup).
- Carefully remove the thermostat from the base plate, taking care not to damage any of the clips or pins in the procedure. Some of the thermostat types demand that you pull up from the bottom of the device to access the controls.
- Make a note of the model number located on the back of your thermostat.
- Reattach the thermostat to the base plate using the screws provided.
- Subscribe to this website’s newsletter for updates.
- I make my living by automating homes.
The thermostat also adjusts itself to the temperature of the room on its own. You may change the settings by connecting it to your device through Wi-Fi, using the Apple Home-Kit, or by using Voice Commands on your smartphone.
