White-Rodgers 1F78-151 Manual: Questions and Answers

What does a blank display mean on my White-Rodgers 1F78-151?

A voltage spike or static discharge blanked the display, or batteries need replacement. Replace batteries first and check your heating/cooling system. Instructions, p. 6

How do I fix no heat on White-Rodgers 1F78-151?

Set the SYSTEM switch to HEAT and raise the setpoint above room temperature. Listen for a soft click within a few seconds, which indicates proper operation.

  1. Set the SYSTEM switch to HEAT.
  2. Raise the setpoint temperature above the current room temperature.
  3. Listen for a soft click sound from the thermostat within a few seconds.
  4. If no click occurs, try the reset operation. If it still won't click after reset, contact service. Instructions, p. 5

What does it mean if White-Rodgers 1F78-151 cycles too fast?

SymptomWhat It Means
Heat cycles too fast or too slowDigital thermostats cycle faster than older mechanical models but run shorter with no added energy use. Clipping Jumper W-905 can increase cycle time for hydronic heating only.
Cool cycles too fast or too slowThe cycle rate for cooling is fixed and cannot be adjusted. Contact a local service person for suggestions.
