Thermostat not working

Darby — Sun, 11 Sep 2022 21:22:02 GMT

Our device won’t turn on the AC or the furnace. Gives the “delay” error. Have tried restarting and a complete reset. It’s a second gen learning thermostat and it says there are no software updates available but I’m on version 5.9.4-5 and the website says the most recent version is 6.2-27….any ideas?

Hi Darby,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear that you're having an issue with your Nest Thermostat. I'd love to know more about this and I have a few questions:

What type of Nest Thermostat do you have?
How is your Nest Thermostat wired?
What is the power reading of your Nest Thermostat?

If you haven't yet, you could also try the troubleshooting steps on this article to isolate the issue.

Thanks,

Edward

Thanks to you both for the suggestions and for following up. I did two stints with customer support with google that ended up with us being able to rule out the thermostat as the problem. An HVAC tech came and looked at things today and it seems that there is a short in/issue with our wiring and we actually need to replace the wiring that runs from the furnace to the thermostat.
