This is for testing if a 24-volt thermostat is bad. These are the steps you should take in order to verify that it is the thermostat that is bad and not the wiring or control board. When you make sure that the power is on to the unit, the light (if there is one) is lit inside the HVAC system and nothing happens when you turn the thermostat on then this video is for you. Supervision is needed by a licensed HVACR Tech while performing tasks as Experience and Apprenticeship garners Wisdom and Safety.

so before i do anything, i should shut off power to house right? so i dont get electrocuted? then open the panel display? I have a honeywell CT500 that goes blank every so often and now not generating cold air...i have a brand new AC unit too. it has no batteries, so that cant be the problem. i also reset the circuit breakers and the display panel of thermostat still goes blank and then re-appears. it does this every few minutes or so. is it a problem with the wire connection of thermostat? is it loose?

@acservicetechchannel 7 жыл бұрын

I recommend calling a tech but they would shut the power to the hvac system off and take the tstat face plate off and tighten the connections on both ends, in the thermostat and in the furnace or air handler. After that they will check for 24v to the thermostat and if they have it then it is a bad thermostat. It could also be one of the pins not aligning on the back of the thermostat.

@AK99581 5 жыл бұрын

Even though you now have heat, that's not really the proper way to do that. You shouldn't have to constantly switch your live wire over every time you want to switch between heating and cooling. If you only have one red wire coming in from furnace control board, it should be hooked into the RH terminal, while a separate jumper wire should be connected between RH and RC.

Hi and thank you for your videos. I have tried extensively to troubleshoot my thermostat issues but to no avail. The electric furnace works, in so far that if I switch it off from heat to off. If I don't it will just continuously run. I am beginning to wonder if it is a wire issue between thermostat and furnace, as I have replaced the thermostat 4 times in past 5 years. (with same thermostat rth 221). However this year it is not responding to program or hold function. I have five wires coming out (red, white, green, black, and orange.) I don't have pump so orange not in use. I am not sure if relevant but the program and hold feature do work if I remove black wire, but there is no heat when operating with this configuration. Thanks

Excellent tutorial. I asked a guy years ago how he knew the tstat was failed, he said, 'I jumped it' and I assumed but didn't know that meant (esp with multiple wires, and why). It makes sense if something is simply not turning on. If it starts/stops w/o hitting temp, I assume that is on furnace side?

I have a question if you don't mind answering it. I have a Honeywell thermostat, and it would blink like the thermostat was about to turn off completely. So I switched the coin cell battery and when I put the front plate back on to the back part mounted on the wall. I waited for it turn back on, and I put the cool air to auto and on 65. The fan never came on tho, and even when I bring it down to the lowest temp. It would still say "Cool On", but nothing. What could it be? Should I do what you did in the video? I did turn the breaker switch to Off, and then back On and it worked for a min then it shut off. Smh.

When you say fan, are you referring to air handler fan or compressor fan? My AC is not getting 24V at contactor to turn on compressor and compressor fan but air handler fan is working. I'm getting 24V b/w R and Y, R and G, R and W on thermostat. When thermostat calls for cool, G and Y goes from open to shorted (connected). So the thermostat is working fine, correct?

Thank you for this video, the logical path you have laid out, though not exactly the issue I had, it helped me draft my own plan and it helped me diagnose my issue. I was getting 24V at the thermostat, and at the circuit board at the air-handler in my basement. I can hear the thermostat click when I switch to AC or Heat. Heat came-on (this was summer and 80 F Day so I had to set the thermostat to 82 or something to get it to work, but it worked, the AC however did not. Knowing that I got 24V (my meter showed about 27v), so I knew volts should be going out to condenser outside. But the condenser did not start. I saw no 24V at the contactor. I pushed the contactor and it started, condenser and I held it there for a few minutes and family inside confirmed getting cold air, so I knew no issues with the condenser/ compressor. So basically the issue was between the wire that came out of air-handler to the condenser outside. I started following the 24V wires from the contactor to the wall, and I found the issue. I should have looked for this as soon as I found a mice nest in the condenser, they had chewed one of the 24V wires and thus contactor did not get the juice it needed to kick-in the condenser. Once I patched the wire, everything was working again. I have seen folks ask where to buy some of the electrical parts (Contactor, Transformer, Capacitor, etc.) I found these on-line, but you have to wait for a few days, alternatively if you need one quickly I was able to buy at Grainger that is not too far from me, and a GPS (General Plumbing Supply) they had some of the parts I needed as well. This is just an FYI.

The free heat I get from my apt. complex isn't enough for me sometimes, and I'll put some ice around the thermostat. This trick used to work big time, but now it doesn't work at all. Have complexes gotten wise to this trick, and devised a way to prevent a sudden drop in temperature from being taken seriously? The thermostat will say the heat is on when I do this, but the baseboard heaters stay cold. But if I remove the ice, and the temperature returns to normal, the heaters will come on naturally from a natural drop in temperature. Does anyone have any thoughts on this, and what I can do to fix it?

I have a hunter programmable an I was wanting to know what the switches on the back of the panel are it says non/hphp sw3 witch one should it be on I have gas

It would be non heat pump if you just have an ac with gas furnace, thanks

Do i need to connect 3 wires together to check my heater? I mean the red is power and the fan wire plus heater wire? or just 2 wires red and the heater wire? Thanks

@acservicetechchannel 7 жыл бұрын

Just two wires R and W as the furnace will know when to turn the fan on by itself. Thanks

Do you have a video if the fan Doesn’t come on, where to look next?

@bradh6185 4 жыл бұрын

I have a blank screen on my thermostat. Outside unit, so no drain pan. Thermostat wired to house so batteries not needed. However, the screen comes on when I install batteries. But nothing else happens. But the two snowflake icons flash. This is a 3-year-old PRO1 t701 thermostat with a Comfortmaker unit. What would you recommend I check? It's a hot Saturday night in Texas and having a heat stroke in the past, I don't handle heat well.

You would need to check the 3 or 5 amp fuse in the outdoor unit after turning the power off. test from r to c with a multimeter for 24v, thanks!

@christophermoore9897 Жыл бұрын

So if you jump the 24v wire to the g wire and it turns on (thermostat is set to auto not fan), that means the thermostat is bad ?

@sallyraymond8328 6 жыл бұрын

I'm still not clear under what circumstances should there be a jumper wire connecting the RC and RH terminals. I see in the video they each had their own wire back to the old system you removed that had separate transformers (furnace and one for AC) so I'm thinking since new systems only have a transformer in the furnace ...but what does the jumper wire accomplish?

@acservicetechchannel 6 жыл бұрын

You are correct and the Rc can connect to G and to Y but the Rh only can connect to the w so that is why they need to have the 24v input voltage jumpered to both for a single heat and ac system, thanks

Any idea why my heat pump won't shut off after reaching the desired thermostat setting? It does turn off if I turn off the whole unit at the thermostat. Just not when it's supposed to when it reaches the desired temp. Any ideas on that?

Sounds like a bad thermostat, thanks

I have a question the hurricane I just had knocked my power out for a day and when the power came back on my a/c unit didn't... What's wrong with it?

@acservicetechchannel 6 жыл бұрын

Is the thermostat power on? Is the indoor fan not running or is it just the outdoor that isn't running? Basically, did the breaker turn off, did a fuse blow inside the unit or a fuse blow at the disconnect at the outdoor unit? I was just looking for more info, thanks

my thermostat has steadily been dropping it now says 50 degrees and ive set it on 71.. needless to say its stuffy..i changed the batteries and it went up to 51...somebody able to advise me at ALL?

@fftl1827 3 ай бұрын

So my AC and fan work yet my heat (propane) does not. I did the red and green as you instructed and the fan ran so could this be the reasoning behind my heat not working properly? Does this also cause short cycling?

@fftl1827 3 ай бұрын

If I wanted to check the heat I guess I would have to jump the Red and White?

i put a new thermostat this summer honeywell RTH111 it work well , i try to turn on the heater today i hear the gas came on but the fan is not working or do i need to wait a little bit and the fan came on

@acservicetechchannel 7 жыл бұрын

If the furnace is trying to turn the heat on then it is receiving the signal from the thermostat. It is past that and in the furnace. It sounds like maybe with the power off the capacitor should be tested or at least a tech will start there if the blower motor is not coming on. This one would test with the power off. ---- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNKSiNd9ssu3f4U.html

Thank u for the video. In my case the display will come on , the clock keeps flashing , but whatever I pressed is not responding. I did connect the red and green wire and the fan came on . Do u think it's the thermostat?

@acservicetechchannel 7 жыл бұрын

If you turn the main power back off and on and the same thing happens it should reset that. If there are batteries and it is hardwired, go ahead and remove them before turning the power off and then back on. If the thermostat will not let you out of this function after turning the power off and back on it sounds like the thermostat is having a problem. Also look uyp your model number and verify the procedure for adjusting the clock. Thanks!

My thermostat is set for 60 degrees at 3 am. The thermostat still runs at 68. Is the thermostat unrepairable? How long does a thermostat last? 10 years?

Went through severe storms and had a big power surge several times. The unit wouldn't come back on and since it was cool weather I thought it was just the heat but it's the ac also. I have power to the unit and the tstat has it's digital readout but I switched from off to ac and nothing happens. So no heat and no ac and I really need my ac it was 95 in my house last night. Thanks for any help.

Did you connect the r to the g to see if the fan would come on? Is it possible the thermostat has battery power but not 24v at the r terminal. The fuse inside the furnace may have popped or the switch or breaker may be off to the furnace, thanks
