    Re: Thermostat Issue

The LED light for Zone 2 (bottom cage) is always on, albeit it looks very dim and flashes extremely quickly compared to the other thermostat which has lights that pulse brightly and evenly when at 88.

    Has anyone else encountered this problem with VE thermostats?
    The clicking noise you are hearing is probably the 'alarm' when your temperature is more than 5 degrees off what the thermostat is set to target. You can disable this alarm by hitting 'Enter' then the '-' button until you reach the screen below and then hit 'Enter' again to disable.


    I am running many VE's on my pets (Not a 300x2 though) . I have never had an LED appear dim--I would definitely check the temps to confirm it is working properly--the VE-300 also has a compartment in the back that comes with a spare fuse: If all else failed I would change that fuse to see if it made a difference...

    Over the years I have noticed an issue with some of their LED's malfunctioning: they will stay on consistently (as opposed to blink) even if the thermostat has reached its target temperature. I have cross-checked their readings with my own temperature measuring equipment and it seems the LED light display is not accurately displaying the output to the heating elements (thankfully). I have temporarily (months) resolved the issue by unplugging and then re-plugging in the thermostat and they will usually return to normal function when they 'reboot'.
