    Replace honeywell t87f with honeywell rth7500d for A/C and Heat
    I'm trying to replace my Honeywell T87F thermostat with a Honeywell RTH7500D. Have tried all combos and can't seem to get it to work. Here's the 4-wire connections to the T87F:
    Blue Wire --> Y terminal
    White Wire --> W terminal
    Red Wire --> R terminal
    Green Wire --> G terminal

    Thanks in advance

    Why will it not work? Did you do a installer setup? Does your new stat require 24 volts to run? Or will it run off battries?? Did you put a jumper from rh to rc??

    The symptoms are
    For A/C - fan comes on but condenser does not
    For heat - heater fires up but fan does not come on
    I do have the rh to rc jumper

    The new stat can run on batteries and I didn't see anything in the instructions about an installer set up

    Thanks

    If the white and the blue were backward the heat would not come on in the heating cycle would it??

    This is turning out to be a very odd problem for such a easy job

    I am going back to installer setup problem. Sense he did not do one it may be running on heatpump, or electric furnace. You do have the b on y? Not y1 or y2? What is throwing me off is why the fan will not come on in heat mode

    Could no AC, be because the breaker/fuse is tripped for the AC. Can happen if the Heat breaker was not turned off when changing the stat?
