How to Fix F1 Error (Step-by-Step)

- Unplug the wire connector attached to the thermostat and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Remove any screws or clips holding the old thermostat in place and carefully remove it.
- Mount the new thermostat (part 240597203) in the same position.
