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.
- Set the SYSTEM switch to HEAT.
- Raise the setpoint temperature above the current room temperature.
- Listen for a soft click sound from the thermostat within a few seconds.
- 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?
| Symptom | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Heat cycles too fast or too slow | Digital 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 slow | The cycle rate for cooling is fixed and cannot be adjusted. Contact a local service person for suggestions. |
