Nest 4G stopping before fully heating

Both my old nest and my recently purchased Nest 4g has an issue where the heating stops before the set temperature.
When set to 'Heat fuel source: Propane, the nest will heat for 10 minutes, rest 10 minutes and repeat.

When set to 'Heat fuel source: Gas, the nest will heat for 20 minutes, rest 10 minutes and repeat.

I've removed all learning protocols to make this a "dumb" thermometer.

I had a pro come over to inspect the unit and it's fine and is not sending a signal of overheating.
How do I stop this behavior?

Here's the latest.  I sent the setting to be electric.  It heated for 20 minutes, stopped, then immediately started again. WTF.  This is supposed to be a learning thermostat.  I would hope it would learn that if I am losing heat in my home, it should over right the eco settings and make sure my house would be heated, above all else?!

Hi GeneralPatton,

 

Thanks for reaching out! I understand that your Google Nest Thermostat is turning off before reaching the target temperature, and I'm happy to assist you.

To better understand the situation, I have a few questions:

  • What other strange symptoms have you experienced since the problem started?
  • Are there any error messages displayed on the thermostat or in the Google Home app? If so, please provide the exact message.
  • What kind of HVAC system do you have? (Heat pump, conventional system, etc.)
  • Does the issue happen with heating only, cooling only, or both?
  • Do you have a common ground wire, or C wire, connected to your thermostat?

I look forward to your response.

 

Regards,

Manuel
