So whether your thermostat is working but not giving you what you need or the display, heating, and cooling systems aren’t working at all, you want to keep reading as this article contains valuable information to help you fix the problem. Let’s begin!
Braeburn Thermostat Not Working: Try These Troubleshooting Tips
1. Check and Replace the Batteries
Low batteries can sometimes cause your thermostat to stop working, especially if the thermostat mainly runs on battery power. So, the first step to try if your thermostat isn’t working is to check the batteries.
If the low battery warning is flashing on the display, then you need to get the batteries replaced. More so, bad batteries may drain out without a low battery warning, so go ahead and replace the batteries even though you don’t see the low battery warning indicator.
And make sure to get the right batteries—non-rechargeable alkaline batteries. You may refer to your user manual to see recommended batteries for your Braeburn thermostat model.
2. Check the Circuit Breaker
Replaced the batteries and your thermostat is still not working? Read on!
In this case, it appears that batteries aren’t the cause of the problem, so let’s see if the circuit breaker is in order. The circuit breaker supplies power to the system, so your thermostat won’t work if the breaker is turned off. So check if the circuit breaker is tripped/turned off and switch it back on.
Also, check if the fuse in the unit or your electrical panel is blown. If there is a blown fuse, you will need to replace the fuse to get your thermostat working again.
3. Reset Your Thermostat
Assuming your thermostat batteries, circuit breaker and fuse are in order but the problem persists, then it’s safe to assume that there’s a glitch in your thermostat. And you can fix this by factory resetting the device.
As you probably know, factory resetting the thermostat will restore all factory default settings and possibly fix common bugs causing the problem.
To reset your Braeburn thermostat, locate the RESET button on the front or side of the unit. It is usually located inside a small hole. So, it may require you to get a paperclip, or a pin to press the button. Now long-press the RESET button for about 4 to 5 seconds to reset the thermostat.
This should fix the problem with your Braeburn thermostat.
Note: The reset method may differ depending on your thermostat model; be sure to check your user manual for detailed instructions.
4. Contact Braeburn Support
If you still can’t get your Braeburn thermostat to work even after trying all the troubleshooting tips above, you may have to contact support for help.
You may also want to get an experienced HVAC technician to examine and possibly fix the thermostat.
