W5 error message

jenfrieda — Sun, 20 Aug 2023 22:20:34 GMT

I have had the W5 error for 13 days and have tried several times the troubleshooting notes. How in the world do you get a hold of anyone that can help with this because nothing is working!!

Someone please let me know.

Hello jenfrieda,

Thanks for posting in our Community. I’m sorry to hear that you’re having issues with your Nest thermostat. No worries; I’m here to help.

A few questions: what Nest thermostat model do you have? What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

Keep me posted.

Best,

Lance

Hi Lance!

I have the 3rd generation Nest Learning Thermostat. I have tried all of the troubleshooting methods that Google suggests for the W5 error like restarting the thermostat. I have tried to have it find the wifi and I have even typed in the wifi info and nothing happens. We have had this a couple of years and have another one in our house and no issues with that one. Please help!

Were you ever able to talk to anyone because I haven't had anyone respond except the lady that responded to you and me on the one thread?

Glad you were able to get it taken care of! I still haven't heard from anyone!
