How to reset Honeywell thermostat old model

For a majority of older Honeywell thermostat models, the trick is to remove the batteries then re-insert them backward before again re-installing them the correct way.

Here are the specific steps:

Step-by-step

  1. Turn OFF the home device.
  2. Next, switch the circuit breaker OFF.
  3. Open its battery door- inserting a coin helps (into the battery door slot). You then push the door open.
  4. Get the batteries out.
  5. Return the batteries but in an incorrect way- you insert the batteries backward meaning the –(negative) pole will be lined up with the + (positive) terminal.
  6. The batteries should be allowed to stay wrongly installed for about 5 seconds (minimum).
  7. Remove the batteries again and re-install them the usual way –not backward- then close your unit’s battery door.
  8. Turn ON the breaker and try to operate the device to see if the issue that had prompted you to reset it is gone.

How to reset honeywell thermostat to factory settings -Useful tips

  1. Upon being reset to factory defaults, you need to set your initial thermostat options again (language, location, system type) to define your heating/cooling system. You can customize other options a little later.
  2. If you are not seeing the “Reset” option on your model, try power cycling your thermostat by simply removing the face-plate (for a minute or so) and then replacing it. Try to reset it after this.
  3. A simpler technique you can opt for if you want to reset most Honeywell touchscreen thermostats is simply resetting the circuit breaker. Try it if the regular procedure fails.
