Common Maintenance Fixes
How do I work my thermostat?
Key points to note:
- There is a KEYLOCK option on your thermostat that can help prevent unwanted tampering with your settings or temperatures. If the KEYLOCK is turned on, you will notice the KEYLOCK icon: The KEYLOCK function can be turned off and on with the following four-button sequence: NEXT, NEXT, NEXT, HOLD.
- “FILTER CHANGE” ERROR MESSAGE: Your thermostat is a universal thermostat which can be for heating systems that do or do not require filters. Finney Crossing Apartments uses baseboard hot water heat which does not require the use of filters. If your thermostat flashes a “FILTER CHANGE” error message, you can either disregard it, as there are no filters in need of changing for your unit or you can reprogram your thermostat to turn off the filter change messages. To turn off the filter change messages: Turn the dial to AIR FILTER, Press the UP and DOWN buttons together at the same time, toggle the air filter setting to OFF. Once you have done this, return the dial back to RUN.
- To Set the DAY/TIME: Rotate the dial to SET DAY/TIME position. You should see the word SET appear on the display, along with the clock and a day of the week that is flashing. With the day flashing, press the UP button to advance the day to the desired day. Press the NEXT button, this should cause the time to start flashing and the day to remain on steady. Using either the UP or DOWN buttons, adjust the clock to the desired time. The clock digits will change rapidly if either the UP or DOWN buttons are held in the pressed position.
- HEATING: Basic operation of your heating system can be obtained by ensuring that the rotary dial is in the RUN position, and simply moving the temperature mode to the HEAT position. Prior to being set initially with your custom temperature program, and also after a Software Reset, the thermostat will follow the default temperature program routines that are preset within the thermostat’s memory, as shown below:
Early Morning 6:00 AM 70F (21C) Daytime 8:00 AM 62F (17C) Early Evening 6:00 PM 70F (21C) Late Evening 10:00 PM 62F (17C) Temperature Override: A temperature override occurs in RUN mode, anytime the user adjusts the set temperature to a value that differs from the stored program for that day and time. When the thermostat is in an Override, the word Override will appear in the temperature area of the display. The thermostat will maintain the thermal control using the new set temperature until the start of the next program period time is reached. At the start of the next program period, the set temperature will return to its programmed value. To enter an Override, push either the UP or Down button to the new desired set temperature value. An Override may be cancelled by rotating the dial, changing the temperature mode switch or by initiating a Temperature Hold.
Temperature Hold: A temperature Hold is similar to an override, but is used for maintaining a constant set temperature for a longer time duration. Once a Hold is initiated, the thermostat will maintain the Hold set temperature indefinitely. To enter a Hold, press the HOLD button once and the word Hold will appear in the temperature portion of the screen, along with the set temperature flashing. While the set temperature is flashing, push either the UP or DOWN button to the new desired set temperature value. To cancel a Hold, press and release the HOLD button once again, rotate the dial, or change the Temperature mode switch. - COOLING: Although this thermostat has a cooling mode program built into it, your air conditioning unit is not controlled by this thermostat. If you see notifications regarding “cooling” or the COOL programming button on the thermostat, please disregard them as they do not affect or control your air conditioner.If you live at 236 Zephyr Road your air conditioning is controlled by a wall mounted device that looks similar to your heating thermostat.If you live at 88 Holland Lane, 178 Holland Lane or 87 Seymour Street, you have been provided with a hand held remote that controls your air conditioning unit.
Please call our office at 802-861-7778 or log into your IMPAK account at http://www.ImpakSolutions.com/Rieley if you would like to request programming assistance.
How do I reset a circuit breaker?
- Too many appliances on one circuit.
- Adding an additional appliance, computer, air conditioner or other appliance to an overloaded circuit.
- Defective appliance or worn appliance
A power failure in one section of a unit is often the result of a tripped circuit breaker. Tenants are asked to locate the cause of the power failure before returning the circuit breaker to the ON position. First, push all switches to the OFF position, and wait a few moments. Second, switch them back to the ON position. If power is not restored by resetting the circuit breaker or unplugging defective appliances, please report the maintenance issue by either calling or emailing the Management office or logging the issue into IMPAK.
How do I unclog a toilet?
One of the most common household problems we all face from time to time is the clogged toilet. Fortunately most clogs can be fixed by using the correct type of plunger.
Do Not Use a Cup Plunger for Toilet
There are two basic types of plungers. The “cup” plunger and the “flange” plunger. A cup plunger is flat across the bottom and is designed for creating a seal against a flat surface such as the bottom of a bathtub. Toilets however have a bowl shape and cup plungers don’t work because they lose their seal when you pull up. For use with toilets, you need to use a Flange Plunger which has a specially tapered bottom that is designed to seal the drain outlet in the bottom of a toilet bowl to maintain the required vacuum and pressure during while plunging.
How to Plunge
Once you see that the toilet is draining slowly or is stopped up, do not flush it again. Gently push the flange plunger through the water allowing air to escape from the plunger body. Once the plunger is sealed around the drain outlet in the bottom of the bowl, plunge up and down rapidly until the clog is broken and the water level seems to drop.
Test for Drainage
You want to test and see if the toilet will drain once you think you’ve cleared the clog, but don’t do this by flushing the toilet again until you’re sure the clog is removed. To test for drainage you have to add water. This can be done one of two ways.
The first way is to slowly pour water into the toilet as from a bucket. The second way is to open the toilet tank lid and SLOWLY lift the flapper seal at the bottom of the tank until water begins to enter the bowl. Do not lift the flapper all the way up or else the toilet will flush.
If water goes down the toilet easily, the clog is cleared. If not, then try again by repeating the previous step and this step a time or two more. If repeated attempts to clear the clog fail, please call our Management Office at 802-861-7778.
What to know about your air conditioner
At our 236 Zephyr Road building, the air conditioning is controlled by a wall mounted device similar to a thermostat. The wall thermostats are not connected to your air conditioner and will not control it. For the Holland Lane and Seymour buildings, the air conditioning units are controlled by remotes. These remotes will be provided to you upon move in. Replacement remotes are a $75.00 charge.
