Possible Causes

Room thermostat set too low, faulty room thermostat, broken thermostat cable, incorrect wiring at control terminals.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before altering control wiring.

  • Check thermostat settings: Ensure the room thermostat or programmer is set to 'heat' mode and the temperature is above the current room temperature.
  • Override timer: Set the programmer to 'constant' or 'manual on' to rule out timing issues.
  • Check batteries: If using a wireless thermostat, replace the batteries and ensure the receiver shows a signal.
  • Inspect wiring: A professional can verify that the thermostat wires are correctly connected to the Chaffoteaux control terminals and are not broken.
