no it will not depress so we re unable to access the menu

I see in reality you would need to replace the thermostat these units are not serviceable due to the way they are made, some times you can spray some WD40 around the buttons and tap them to free them but in reality if its stuck and not responding thats unlikely to work and as such would suggest replacing the thermostat.
