How to Turn Off Program on Emerson Thermostat

If your Emerson thermostat is programmed, it may not always match your current temperature needs. It could be set too warm or too cool for your comfort.

Here’s an easy method to turn off the program on Emerson thermostat.

Method 1: Locate the ‘Program’ Button

For digital programmable Emerson thermostats, managing your heating and cooling starts with the ‘Program’ button. This leads you to the thermostat’s settings.

1. Locate the ‘Program’ button on your thermostat.
2. Pressing this button takes you into the scheduling menu.
3. Here, you can view your current settings.
4. Now, you’re ready to make changes to your program.

Method 2: Review the Program Schedule

In the programming menu, you’ll encounter different scheduling options for your thermostat.

1. Look at each programmed period – morning, day, evening, night.
2. Observe the settings for each time slot.
3. Note the temperature settings for different days of the week.
4. Understand how your thermostat is programmed across the week.

Method 3: Disable or Clear Individual Programs

You can set a consistent temperature or deactivate certain time periods.

1. Choose a time period to adjust.
2. Clear the setting or set a uniform temperature.
3. Repeat for other time periods as needed.
4. This removes or modifies active schedules.

Method 4: Set to Run Manually (Hold/Run)

The ‘Hold’ feature lets you override the programmed schedule.

1. On the temperature screen, find ‘Hold.’
2. Activating ‘Hold’ maintains a constant temperature.
3. The program mode stays overridden until you change it.
4. Use this to keep a steady temperature without schedule changes.

Method 5: Program Mode to Off

Some models allow completely turning off the programming feature.

1. Find the ‘Off’ option in the program menu or on the thermostat.
2. Switch this to ‘Off’ to disable scheduling.
3. This stops all automatic temperature changes.
4. Use this to control your thermostat without preset schedules.

Method 6: Return to Home Screen

After adjustments, exit the programming menu.

1. Press the ‘Done’ or ‘Return’ button.
2. This action takes you back to the main thermostat screen.
3. Check that your settings are as you adjusted them.
4. Now, your thermostat operates with your new settings.

For Non-Digital or Older Emerson Thermostats

1. Find the switch labeled ‘Heat,’ ‘Cool,’ or ‘Off.’
2. Switch to your desired setting.
3. ‘Off’ deactivates heating or cooling until turned on again.
4. Adjust as needed for your comfort.

Note: For specific models, especially Wi-Fi-enabled ones like Sensi, consult the user manual or use the app for adjustments.
