Resetting your Panasonic ONE thermostat can be a straightforward process, but it’s essential to follow the right steps to ensure a successful reset. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of resetting your Panasonic ONE thermostat, including both the standard reset and the more advanced EEPROM reset procedure.
Locating the Reset Button on Your Panasonic ONE Thermostat
The first step in resetting your Panasonic ONE thermostat is to locate the reset button. This button is typically located on the bottom or side of the thermostat and may be recessed, requiring a small object like a paperclip to press it.
To locate the reset button, carefully inspect the exterior of your Panasonic ONE thermostat. Look for a small, recessed button or a labeled reset button. If you’re unsure of its location, refer to your thermostat’s user manual or contact the manufacturer for guidance.

Once you’ve located the reset button, follow these steps to perform a standard reset:
- Press and hold the reset button. Using a small object like a paperclip, press and hold the reset button for a few seconds.
- Observe the display. As you hold the reset button, you should see the display on your Panasonic ONE thermostat change or flash, indicating that the reset process has begun.
- Release the reset button. After a few seconds, release the reset button. Your Panasonic ONE thermostat should now be reset to its factory default settings.
Performing an EEPROM Reset on Your Panasonic ONE Thermostat
If you’re unable to locate the reset button or the standard reset procedure doesn’t work, you may need to perform a more advanced EEPROM reset. This process is typically used for Panasonic H Generation Air to Water Heat Pump controllers, but it may also be applicable to other Panasonic ONE thermostat models.
To perform an EEPROM reset, follow these steps:
- Turn off the controller. Locate the power switch or circuit breaker for your Panasonic ONE thermostat and turn it off.
- Press and hold the North East and West arrows simultaneously. While the controller is powered off, press and hold the North East and West arrows on the thermostat’s interface.
- Turn the controller back on. With the arrows still pressed, turn the controller back on.
- Continue holding the arrows. Keep holding the North East and West arrows until the display shows “EEPROM reset.”
- Release the arrows. Once the “EEPROM reset” message appears, release the arrows. Your Panasonic ONE thermostat should now be reset to its factory default settings.
Verifying the Reset and Reconfiguring Your Panasonic ONE Thermostat
After performing either the standard reset or the EEPROM reset, it’s essential to verify that the reset was successful. Check the display on your Panasonic ONE thermostat to ensure that it has returned to its factory default settings.
Once the reset is complete, you may need to reconfigure your Panasonic ONE thermostat to your desired settings, such as temperature, schedule, and other preferences. Refer to your thermostat’s user manual or contact the manufacturer for guidance on how to properly configure your Panasonic ONE thermostat.
