Nest thermostat

We lost power and now the thermostat says disconnect from base and reattach and still does nothing ? I’ve had it on the charger for 2 hours trying that but still doesn’t work ? Any suggestions

Hello Marshalljr,

I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're experiencing with your Nest Thermostat. Losing power can sometimes cause these devices to behave unexpectedly. Since you've already attempted to reconnect it to the base and charged it for 2 hours without success, let's try a few more troubleshooting steps:

 

  1. Double-check that the base where the thermostat connects is receiving power. If it's plugged into an outlet, confirm that the outlet is functioning.
  2. Try to press and hold the thermostat screen for 10 seconds until the thermostat shuts down to restart.
    1. If the same message appears, remove the thermostat display from its base, remove the C wire, and leave it disconnected.
  3. Put the display back on its base and wait until it reboots.
  4. Check for any wiring reports or message codes in its settings.
  5. Gather the power readouts in the Technical Info settings.

 

Keep me posted on how it goes.

Best regards,
Mark

I had to buy a cheap replacement. The nest got super hot and wouldn’t turn back on. So I was gonna try to get a replacement because I’ve only had it 6 months.
