The printer worked fine

I worked on a government IT contract once where we spent part of a winter uncomfortably cool. We pushed the thermostat to what should have been greenhouse temperatures, but it didn't help. Then one day somebody noticed that we had a LaserJet parked immediately beneath the thermostat. We moved it, and the thermostat became much more responsive.
