How to Troubleshoot Your Bryant Thermostat

Check if Your Thermostat is Set to the Correct Mode

If your Bryant thermostat is malfunctioning (not heating or cooling), check that it’s set to either Heat or Cool.

Your Bryant thermostat will only cool if you’ve set it to Cool. Likewise, the device only heats if you move it to Heat mode.

If your thermostat isn’t heating or cooling, you’ll need to check if you’ve set it to the correct position. To do this, press the H/C button on the thermostat until you see Heat or Cool on the left side of the screen.

If your Bryant thermostat doesn’t start functioning properly, move on to the next step.

Ensure that Your Air Conditioning System or Furnace is Turned On

Your Bryant thermostat won’t cool if your outdoor air conditioning system is turned off. To fix this issue, you’ll need to switch on the outdoor air conditioning system. Press the disconnect switch beside the outdoor air conditioning unit to turn it on.

In the same way, the thermostat won’t heat if you haven’t switched on your furnace. To determine if your furnace is on, check if the switch beside the furnace is set to the On position.

But if the furnace is turned off, switch it on.

Is your thermostat back to normal now? If not, check the next tip.

Change the Filter in Your Furnace

If your Bryant thermostat isn’t heating or cooling, the filter in your furnace might be faulty. A furnace with a problematic filter won’t work. As a result, your thermostat won’t turn on the heat.

Your air conditioning system receives hot air from the blower motor in your furnace and converts the hot air to cool air. So, if your furnace isn’t working, your AC won’t supply cool air to your home. This will prevent your thermostat from cooling.

You can resolve this problem by changing the filter in your furnace. Once you replace your furnace filter, your thermostat should be back to normal.

But if the device is still malfunctioning, continue to the next tip.

Unblock your Air Vents

Your Bryant thermostat passes hot and cool air through the air vents in your home.

If the thermostat isn’t heating or cooling, the air vents might be blocked by the furniture in your home.

In that case, you’ll need to pull your furniture away from the wall where the air vents are installed.

Air vents are usually located close to the bottom of the wall. You’ll find them if you scan the walls in your home.

Once you unblock your air vents, your thermostat may start blowing hot or cool air. However, if the thermostat is still not functioning correctly, ask your technician to inspect the device.
