Cannot get heat to turn on
The SmartWay Solutions Talking Thermostat VT3000 may not turn on the heat due to the following possible issues:
1. Wiring Problem – Check the wiring connections to the thermostat. Refer to the wiring diagrams in the “Installer’s Guide” (pages 16 & 17).
2. No 24V Power – Ensure the system has 24V power available.
3. Battery Issue – If the display is blank or erratic, replace the 4 AA alkaline batteries.
4. Factory Reset Needed – If the thermostat operates erratically, restore default settings using the reset key (see page 19 of the “Installer’s Guide”).
These steps should help diagnose and resolve the issue.
