Replaced thermostat - no heat or a/c
Hello - I have an Amana a/c with gas heat
Took out my old Honeywell T8195 thermostat to replace with the Lux TX1500
Wired it up as follows (Lux - color - Honeywell)
RH - Red - R
RC - connected to RH terminal
G - Green - G
Y - Yellow - Y
W - White - W
B - empty
O - empty
Have the blue wire left which was connected to the C on the old one
Turned it on and got the a/c going immediately. Good news.
Turned on the heat and waited patiently... nothing happened. Bad news.
Genius friend tries to switch out the white and blue wires (I wasn't sure I labeled these correctly at the time... now I'm sure the above is correct). Again - no heat. Then - no a/c. Really bad news.
Hooked the old thermostat up and again no heat or a/c. Really really bad news.
How deep am I in here? Fortunately hovering around 70 here the next few days so I can keep the windows open until the weekend.
