Have you adjusted your Dometic thermostat setting only to find it is not responding? The experience can be frustrating, especially when you were hoping for cooling on a humid day or more heat on a frigid day.
If your system is not running at all or seems to be operating well, but you cannot feel cool or warm air coming from the vents, you have to figure out what to do next. In most cases, the best solution would be to reset your Dometic thermostat.
If you own a Dometic Single Zone LCD thermostat, the system comes pre-programmed with specific settings. Heating is 68ºF or 20ºC, Cooling is 72ºF or 22ºC, Fan Speed is Auto, Mode is OFF, and Furnace Differential is 2ºF.
You can review the settings and adjust them to your comfort level. The best way of achieving this is to use the ON/OFF mode on the unit. It will allow you to program the system by deleting the factory defaults.
