Our old thermostat decided to quit so I am trying to replace it with a "Lux" Brand from Lowe's.What's happening it the Heat will turn on if we set it to heat and raise the temp, but the Air conditioning won't activate mo matter what.Once when I turned the switch to FAN the circuit breaker cut power.The Central air unit is fairly old... Here is a pictureHere is a picture of the thermostat's innards and how we have it wired:

Hmmm.....didya stop to think that if it doesn't work that it might be time to call a tech?? Replacing the thermostat is like saying "my car won't run, maybe if I put a new key in it??" A thermostat is nothing more than a temperature controlled ON/OFF SWITCH.BTW, Lowes will not take back that thermostats... they will only exchange it for another of the exact same brand/model.

Lux Brand Thermostat Replacement = No A/C?

Not so..Swearing is good for relieving tension and starting John Deere tractors when it is -35ºF. Do keep in mind that Mothers will keep their small children away from you while you work and swear. If you teach their children to sing little ditties like:

There was a little Bird No bigger then a Turd Sitting on a telephone pole He stretched his little neck and s*it about a peck and puckered his little asshole

You can be assured the children will never be allowed around you again. ;-p
