Your Lennox iComfort thermostat batteries provide most of the power in the device. So, if the batteries are low or completely drained, the thermostat may stop working. As a result, the screen will go blank.
If your thermostat’s screen goes blank, you may need to change its batteries.
Take the following steps to change your Lennox iComfort thermostat batteries:
Once you change the batteries in your thermostat, the device’s screen should come back to life. But if it doesn’t, continue to the next step.
If you experience a power surge in your home, your circuit breaker may flip to the Off position on its own. When this happens, your Lennox iComfort thermostat will go off, and the screen will become blank.
If a blank screen appears on your thermostat after a power surge, check if your circuit breaker is turned off. If the breaker is turned off, flip it back to the On position. Your home should regain power, and the blank screen on your thermostat should disappear.
But if you still see the blank screen on your thermostat after turning on your breaker, move on to the next step.
Loose or pinched wires in your thermostat may also result in a blank screen. So, if your Lennox iComfort thermostat screen has suddenly gone blank, another fix to try is to check and fix loose/pinched wires.
If you’re not sure how to do this, hire an expert to inspect the thermostat.
The display should come back after fixing any wiring issue within the thermostat.
But if the screen remains blank, try the next tip.
Your HVAC system works by taking air from your home and transforming it into hot/cool air as necessary. But before the system releases the processed air, it extracts moisture from the air and sends it to the condensate pan. The drain pan then passes the moisture to your drain pipe, which moves the water outdoors.
While moving outside your home, some water may get stuck in the drain pipe. Eventually, this moisture may fill up the pipe. If your drain pipe is full, it won’t be able to receive water from the drain pan. As a result, your drain pan may get clogged.
To prevent your condensate drain pan from overflowing, the safety switch in your HVAC system trips on. This turns off the power to your HVAC system.
If there is no power in your HVAC system, your thermostat will go off. Thus, the device’s screen will become blank.
If your Lennox iComfort thermostat gets a blank screen, you may need to empty your condensate drain pan.
To empty your drain pan, you’ll need to unclog your drain pipe.
Here’s how to unclog your drain pipe:
After you’ve unclogged your drain pipe, the water from your drain pan will move to your drain pipe and go outwards. Then your safety switch will go off, and your HVAC system will regain power. As a result, your thermostat will turn back on.
However, if your Lennox iComfort thermostat still has a blank screen after this, continue to the next step.
If your Lennox iComfort thermostat screen remains blank after you’ve tried all the steps above, the device might have stopped working. So, you may need to replace the thermostat with a new one.
