Furnace thermostat error keeps shutting off
Hardware, body, and control boards often leave furnace thermostatic control errors that function as intermittent. These errors can keep shutting off, meaning your furnace will not work. If you want to remedy this problem, it is important to first know the types of errors to diagnose and fix what’s wrong.
Three common error types: software-related, hardware-related and wiring-related
Software-related causes: The software for the thermostat might have been corrupted
Hardware-related causes: Malfunction of the components in the heater unit or a problem with appliance wiring (e.g., loose connections or older models)
Wiring-linked issues: Malfunction of meters regulating power demands to the unit or a loose contact between fuse block and radiator coil
Technicians need to examine the error code that popped up before opting for a course of action.

This furnace thermostat keeps shutting off every 10 minutes. Is there anything we can do?
The reason your furnace thermostat is shutting off every 10 minutes is that the units are overheating and the thermostat will shut off power to the furnace until you can set your temperature to a lower setting.
As with any technology, computing device, computer, or robot that is manufactured by humans errors can happen. In this article, I will describe the issue of stovetop range tools becoming non-functional due to an “auto-shutoff” sensor that turns off the electricity after 11 minutes of use to prevent usage when idle periods are expected.

Some furnace thermostats are programmed to turn your furnace off when a problem with the system is detected. For example, a heating coil manufactured by BrassCraft might get hung up.
When this happens, you won’t hear the two pieces of metal clanging together because they won’t touch each other. To be on the safe side, your thermostat will automatically shut off until you can address the problem and clear it up.
