    Trouble installing wires for Honeywell RTH6300B
    Hello Guys

    I am trying to install a new Honneywell RTH6300B but I am a litle confused

    I have the following wires

    Yellow
    Red
    White
    Green and
    Blue

    Where do I put the blue wire?


    On the terminal I have the following

    G
    W
    Not Used
    Y
    R
    Rc


    I am confused when I purchased this unit I was told that anyone can get thos unit installed. I have noticed on my older thermostadt that the BLUE wire wasn't attached, I also couldn't see on the old themsostadt where each wire was connected to.

    I need help before paying someone $300 to plug in wires.

    Any suggestions are highly appriciated.

    Thank you

    The "not used" terminal is most likely a C terminal(common). Put the blue to c, and make sure to hook the blue wire up to c at the furnace board. Let us know if you have more questions about this. We will do 0ur best to help.

    Hello

    When you say "put the blue to C" what do you mean by that? The connections I have aviabile on the new therostadt are G W Not Used Y R and Rc I don't see a C to connect the blue wire.

    Thank you

    I have a White wire coming out of the wall. I am trying to figure it out where each wire goes.

    I would assume that:

    W - White
    Y - Yellow
    R - Red
    G - Green

    When I put the BLUE wire to Rc My AC starts working and the heat at the same time. When I leave Blue out and connect the jumper to R and Rc I can't get the AC to turn on.

    I am confused

    OK, if there is no c terminal. Just leave the blue unhooked. You should be fine. The blue wire was not hooked up to the old thermostat, so it won't need to be hooked up to the new one. Just hook red to r, white to w, yellow to y, green to g

    There should be a jumper between r and rc, just leave it in and hook r to r.

    If you have a terminal that says not used, then your thermostat does not require a common. Just hook the wires up to the same letters as the old thermostat and you will be set. Please keep me posted.

    Can you post a picture of your thermostat leads? And possibly a pic of the area where your thermostat wires hook to your furnace?

    OK just wire it

    r- red
    y-yellow
    w-white
    g-green
    Rh-rc jumpered.

    Do not use the blue.

    Then touch r to y with a piece of wire or pair of needle nose plyers. If the ac works then you probably need to do a installer setup on your stat. if it does not work then you may have blown a fuse at your furnace.

    Ok I connected

    White - W
    Yellow - Y
    Red - R
    Green - G
    RC + R Jummped

    Then I turned on the power to the furnace and touched Y + R with pliers, but once I turned the power to the furnace, the furnace came on right away. When I put the cover on to set the temperature and to select AC nothing happens I can hear the furnace working but no AC. The fan is blowing air but no AC. The unit outside is not working. I also can't turn anything off from the thermostat I have to flip the switch to the thermostat. When I select OFF on the thermostat the furnase continues to work. Im not sure what is going on.

    I have to turn it off by the main furnace switch.

    When you say the furnace came on as soon as you turned on the switch, do you mean heat came on or just the blower? What brand furnace do you have?

    Some furnaces have a 1:30 blower on period as soon as you turn the power on have you ever noticed this before. Just a thought. If that is not it sounds like you may have a wire acidently touching anouther somewhere on the t stat

    OK does you t-stat have a installer setup? Sounds like you may be set for heatpump instead of gas furnace!
