How do you get this thermostat to come back on after power failure?

Mine reset themselves after the power came back on. One of them took five minutes but it reset.

It is supposed to come back on automatically. If it does not, try unplugging the face from the base. Mine has had a problem with a good connection between the two halves causing the furnace to stop functioning. Not very handy in the winter.

Do a little experimenting before you blame the heater. Submerge the heater in a bowl of ice water and plug the heater into an indoor GFI socket near the kitchen sink to see if it really is the heater or the socket. In my case, it turned out that the outdoor GFI plug was not completely resetting when I pushed the reset. Plug in a lamp when resetting the GFI until you know the socket is live. Toggle the reset button a few times, then try your heater. If it trips the GFI, you should be able to hear a distinct click. Personally, I have not had a good experience trying to contact the manufacturer. Good luck.

Someone already answered this just above you. This was the top one, I think: I unplugged my unit to test it and it came back on. I believe that the on/off switch has to be physically depressed to turn the unit off, so it should come back on when power is restored.

The return sensor is a temporary backup to the battery powered thermostat. For example, the batteries could fail while you are away on an extended trip. In this situation, the EIM can keep your home from freezing with data from the return sensor. An extended power failure is a different story. In this situation, you would need a backup generator to power the HVAC and the EIM. After a temporary power failure, the EIM will reestablish communication with the wireless devices automatically. It does ,however, take some time.

Try turning the thermostat controller all the way to the right. Otherwise call Vornado customer service, most of the machines have a 2-3 year warranty.

There are two other things to check...first is the timer control assy. If this fails to work you will get no heating. And the next and last would be the heating element. Do you use this alot? How old is your unit? Feel free to send me more questions if you need further help as I'm an power plant engineer by trade.

What I would try is an AC Power Cycle first. 1. Shut off the unit with power switch 2. Unplug the unit 3. Turn unit back on (yes with no power) 4. Hold reset button down for 30 seconds or so to completely drain all power 5. Turn off power 6. Plug unit back in and try to turn unit on and see if that resets it. Many times with any electronics an AC Power Cycle like this can resolve many issues.I do agree they should have a downloadable copy of the manual though.

I just tried pulling the plug, then plugging it back in. Obviously it turned off when the power was cut, but it won't come back on until the power button on the light itself is pressed.

I returned mine. Could not get the thermostatd to trigger the unit back on when dropping below temperature. Tried 2 different units and had the same issue.

Unfortunately it will just power it down and you have to use remote or turn the fan back on.. everything that was on has to be turned back on, so No it will not work, sorry.

Not sure exactly what "broke" means. There are 2 parts, a fan and a heating element. If both are not working, it must not be getting power. If 1 part is not working, you probably have to try contacting the manufacturer. Good luck.

See the comment by Gene. Note that if you have only two wires from boiler to thermostat you can't power it from the furnace so have to use battery.

Did you slide the system button to "cool" ? Is the breaker for the air conditioning set to "on"? Are all the wires under the thermostat making good contact? If you need more help, I would contact Honeywell. They are pretty helpful.

I would recommend checking the amp draw of the elements, when the thermostats or NOT CALLING (on). If there is any draw at this time, then the element needs to be replaced.

The heater will come back on with the settings that you have set when the power goes off and comes back on. I think this is a great heater but I couldn't keep mine because it was damaged/defective.

You will need an electrician to run power to it from the thermostat. Mine was a replacement, so I installed it myself using the existing power line.

My thermostat does not work from the day I got it and for that reason I can not help you
