Possible Causes

Room sensor located near a heat source or cold draft, Sensor out of calibration, Poor air circulation around the sensor, Faulty indoor PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps to try:

  • Check sensor location: Ensure the sensor is not located near direct sunlight, heat-emitting electronics, or drafts.
  • Use fan-only mode: Improve air mixing in the room to reduce temperature stratification.
  • Adjust setpoint: Temporarily adjust the set temperature to achieve comfort while planning a repair.

When to call a technician: If the sensor is correctly located but readings remain inaccurate, the sensor itself or the PCB may need replacement.
