Thermostat rapidly turns the system on and off (short cycling).

Possible Causes

Cycle rate set too high, thermostat near a supply vent causing rapid temperature swings, loose thermostat on wall causing sensor instability.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No high-voltage work is required.

  • Secure mounting: Ensure the Lux wall plate is firmly attached to the wall and the thermostat snaps on securely without wobble.
  • Adjust cycle rate: In the installer menu, reduce the cycle rate (CPH) to a lower value appropriate for your system.
  • Redirect airflow: If a supply vent blows directly on the thermostat, adjust the vent louvers or partially close the vent.
  • Relocate thermostat: For severe cases, have a professional move the thermostat to a more stable location.
