    White Rodgers 1F76W357 to Honeywell RTH3100C Thermostat
    I have on old White-Rodgers 4 wire single transformer system I believe. Model 1F76W357.

    I am installing a Honeywell RTH3100C non programmable thermostat.

    Wires on the White-Rodgers are:

    RC RH (Jumpered inside the thermostat)
    W
    Y
    G

    Wires on the Honneywell are:

    E
    AUX
    Y
    G
    O
    L
    R
    B
    C

    I tried to hook it up like this:

    RC/RH = R on the Honeywell (RC and RH are 1 wire out of wall)
    W = AUX on the Honeywell
    Y = Y on the Honeywell
    G = G on the Honeywell

    When I turned the heater, after 3 minuts the AC Kicked on.

    Online, I have learned that on the old White Rogers these wire are:

    Y=Cooling System
    G=Fan Relay
    W=Heating System
    RC/RH=24v Hot

    So I tried a couple of other combos and no luck, I just can't figure out the whole RC/RH thing.

    Please let me know if there is an expect that can help.

    Sounds like what you have is a thermostat that is intended or configured for a heat pump system. May need to get one that is right for the type of system you have.
