Emergency! Please Help!

Apr 01, 2005 8 Replies

I recently bought a LUX 605/2110 Series Programmable Heat Pump Thermostat to replace my old thermostat. My problem is that when I try to match the wires I have to the new terminals, the designations don't all match. I think I have most of them correct. When I set it to cool it seems to work correctly but when I set it to heat it doesn't seem to turn on the heat. Also when I turned on the heat the one time the thermostat smelled like something was burning, which makes me worried that I have some wires set up wrong.



Any help would be greatly appreciated!



Yellow pages or learn to read instructions.

Call you local *competent*, licensed, insured, professionally trained, HVAC technician to diagnose all of the problems (including the one that caused you to mistakenly replace the thermostat), and correct them.

you probably got a bad Lux. Take it back and get a new one. Keep trying to match the wiring until you get it right. Everytime the smoke leaks out, take it back and get a new one.

Now you've done it!

You're gonna need a new air handler and heat pump. Cost: $8342.00 We can do it next week.

Do you have an old Lennox furnace? The old model had different designation of the one that are currently used.... I can find it for you if it is the case. a écrit dans le message news: snipped-for-privacy@4ax.com...

You may wish to open the yellow pages, and find a heating contractor who is familiar with heat pumps. Just an idea.

The editor wants to use it for the June issue.
