New Duracell batteries will not work in thermostat but will in mag light. Guess I’ll have to purchase different brand
Try cleaning the corroded contacts on your thermostat first.
I found a reset button on my 9600. Repat removing the batteries and hold reset button down for approximately 10 sec. Replace batteries and reprogram the thermostat.
Omg this worked
