Please remove the thermostat from its base, then reattach it.

The battery on my Nest Learning Thermostat kept dying.  I kept having to disconnect it and recharge it using the USB port and eventually it wouldn’t hold a charge for more than a week.  It was still under warranty and Google sent me a replacement after the tech support tried a bunch of troubleshooting steps over the phone.

The battery on the replacement one was fairly dead upon arrival and I had to charge it using the USB port.  Now, when I try to attach it to the base, I get the following message:

Please remove the thermostat from its base, then reattach it.”

I removed it and reattached it and got the following message:

Please remove the thermostat from its base, then reattach it.”

I removed it and reattached it and got the following message:

Please remove the thermostat from its base, then reattach it.”

 

You get the idea.

What is wrong with it?

I had to put the old one back to make sure I have a thermostat that somewhat works.  Do I have to call tech support again and ask for another replacement?

I have about a week to resolve this because Google will charge my credit card for the replacement that isn’t working if I don’t ship them my old one.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to any advice.

Hi folks,

 

Thanks for posting in the community! Sorry to hear that your Nest Thermostat is displaying the error message "Please remove the thermostat from its base, then reattach it." No worries, help is here! To troubleshoot the issue, I'd like to ask you a few questions:

 

  1. Did you receive the full replacement kit, including the base, or only the display unit?
  2. If you received a full replacement, have you tried replacing the old base with the new one and reattaching the display?

Keep me posted,

 

Regards,

Axel.
