Manually resetting a residential wall thermostat to clear temporary software freezes, error codes, or corrupted memory depends on whether the device is battery-powered or hardwired. For a standard battery-powered digital thermostat, you can execute a manual reset by removing the thermostat faceplate from the wall mounting bracket, taking out all alkaline batteries, waiting approximately sixty minutes to let internal capacitors fully discharge, and reinserting the batteries. For hardwired smart thermostats like a Nest or Ecobee, you can perform a manual reboot by removing the faceplate from the wall sub-base for one minute and snapping it back into place, or by navigating through the on-screen settings menu to select the factory reset option. You can verify success when the screen reboots and displays its startup sequence.
