To get your Honeywell thermostat out of program (schedule) mode, simply press the Hold button after adjusting the temperature. This overrides the schedule indefinitely. To turn it off completely and set a permanent temperature, use the Menu or Program buttons to turn the schedule setting to Off.
To permanently ignore the schedule, press up or down until the desired temperature is displayed. Then, press the Hold button to maintain the new temperature indefinitely. The word Hold will appear on the screen. Press the Run button if you wish to cancel either override and resume the schedule.
Answer. To take your thermostat out of program mode, locate the "Program" button on your device and press it to access the settings. Use the arrows or adjustment buttons to navigate to "Manual" or "Hold" mode, which will allow you to set the temperature manually without following the programmed schedule.
Hold the reset button (if present): Some non-programmable Honeywell Thermostats have a dedicated reset button, usually located near the display or behind a cover panel. If your model has one, hold it down for about 5-10 seconds while the power is off.
PERFORMING A FACTORY RESET
Press the MODE Button to cycle to the next available system mode. Cycle through the modes until the required system mode is displayed and leave it to activate.
To completely bypass all programming, simply press the HOLD button once. HOLD will appear in the display. For as long as HOLD appears in the display the thermostat will not change the set-point temperature unless you adjust it yourself with the up or down arrow buttons.

Dead Batteries or Power Issues
If your thermostat is battery-powered, weak or dead batteries may prevent it from sending the signal to turn on the furnace. Replace the batteries with fresh ones to rule this out. For wired thermostats, check your home's electrical panel for tripped breakers or blown fuses.
Press up or down on the buttons with triangles to immediately adjust the temperature. This will temporarily override the temperature setting for the current scheduled time period. "Temporary" will appear on the display. The new temperature will be used until the next scheduled time period begins.
Here are the step-by-step reset instructions:
Setting your thermostat at a consistent temperature can also help prevent short cycling. Avoid adjusting the temperature drastically or frequently, as this can cause your furnace to cycle more frequently. Instead, aim for a comfortable temperature and leave it at that setting to minimize unnecessary on-off cycles.
A loose wiring connection is one of the common causes of problems with thermostats, and you may need to tighten the wiring. Turn off power to your furnace or heater at the circuit breaker. Remove the thermostat cover to access its wiring panel. Check the thermostat wiring connections to see if any are loose.
Common issues with Honeywell thermostats include unresponsive screens, inaccurate temperature readings, and connectivity problems in smart models. To troubleshoot these, start by resetting your thermostat to clear any temporary glitches.
Smart or Wi-Fi Honeywell thermostats
From the main screen, select Menu, then Reset, then choose the type of reset you want. After a factory reset, you will need to reconnect the thermostat to Wi-Fi and re-add it in the app.
One of the most common causes of thermostat failure is also the easiest to fix. Batteries are not permanent and need to be regularly changed. If your thermostat is unresponsive, change the batteries and reset the system. This often resolves the problem right away.
First, check your thermostat for any operational lights and then check your boiler control panel for faults. If you have a boiler fault, check your manual to learn more about what to do. You may have to call a heating engineer. If the thermostat or boiler is non-responsive, then you may have a power issue.
Touch the screen. You will be asked for a passcode to unlock and enter the screen. You will need to add 1234 to your date code.
Why Does an AC Go Into Lockout?
Make sure the temperature is set higher than the Inside temperature reading. Also check the circuit breaker and reset if necessary. Make sure that the furnace door is closed securely. If “wait” is in the screen or “heat on” is flashing – wait 5 minutes for the system to safely respond.
Resetting Programmable Thermostats
Press and hold the reset button for 5-10 seconds until the display goes blank. This clears any customized settings and restores factory defaults. Reprogram the thermostat settings like clock, temperature, and schedule. Test the thermostat to ensure it works properly.
Low indoor temperatures can freeze your indoor pipes
Frozen pipes can burst and flood your home, potentially causing severe water damage according to the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety. That's why you don't want to set your temperature setting too low or turn off your heat completely.
