A/C unit compressor stopped working after thermostat install - please help.

Hired someone to replace my current manually programmable thermostat with a wifi programmable thermostat, and after new thermostat installed, compressor on my Ducane AC10B36-B a/c unit stopped working. He uninstalled the wifi thermostat and reinstalled the original, but the compressor still does not work. The heat works and the fan works, just not the a/c. Any suggestions?

Verify that the thermostat is completing the circuit on a call for cooling, check the contactor at the condensing unit, verify the low voltage, the wiring may be crossed somewhere.

Check at the compressor terminals between the Red and the terminal for the overload protector to see if you are getting power to the compressor on startup.

SOURCE: Honeywell Thermostat RTH 7500

Assumed all the wiring are correct,

to change from manual switching from heat to cool, press [system] button ( left ) to go into system setting.

then press and hold the [fan] middle button untill option display 120

use up down button to select option 300 ( Manual/Autochangeover) ,

select 0 for manual, 1 for automatic. ( read caution in page 22 of installation manual )

Good luck

SOURCE: new thermostat not starting compressor

With the jumper inplace does the compressor start? What about without? Unless you have more than one transformer you should leavethe jumper.

SOURCE: RV air conditioner. Compressor running, fan stops before cool

The fan motor is getting hot and going off on the internal overload in the motor.
This is caused by either a low voltage, a bad capacitor, or tight or dry bearings in the motor.
To check the bearings turn the power off to the unit, then spin the fan blade if it spins freely then the bearings are ok.
To check the capacitor you will need some kind of tester or you can buy a capacitor and replace it, that's what a lot of people do. They usually don't cost very much.
To check the voltage you will need a voltmeter and measure the volts at the unit.

I am replacing an T8411R with RTHL3550 and I have the following wires. Original vs New G=G,R=R,Y=Y,O=O......? I have a W2 and an E wire that go into different screws on original but no seperate terminal...

C is actually a power wire; it provides power for some programmable thermostats. You don't have to connect it on the new thermostat; cover the end with electrical tape to avoid it causing a short. (If you keep that wire accessible, it will be nice for someone who wants to use another programmable thermostat. The ones which can talk to wireless networks require this wire.)

Do you have a heat pump? That is the only time a thermostat uses an E wire.

The W2 wire should go to AUX (third screw terminal from the left) and the E wire should go to E (second screw terminal from the left). See page 25 (27 on the pdf) of the Quick Installation manual for the RTHL3550. This manual is available from Honeywell at http://yourhome.honeywell.com/home/Products/Thermostats/Digital-Non-Programmable/RTHL3550D.htm .

I hope this helps.

A non programmable digital cheap thermostat indicates low battery. replace with new battery. still not cooling. is there a reset when replacing the batterly. can a low battery cause the system to stop...

No, The only thing you may loose replacing the thermostat battery's would be the time/date. All default pre-programming will not be lost. The thermostat controls the unit. If the unit is coming on then the t-stat is working. Confirm the unit is coming on when the T-stat tells it to.Turn the t-stat to the off position, have someone go outside to the condenser unit. Turn the unit on and listen for the fan and the compressor (2) different sounds from the unit. Feel the lines that connect to the house, the larger line should feel cool to cold and the smaller line should feel warm to hot. If you do not hear the compressor, or suspect it is not coming on with the fan, then you may have some other issue. In the heat we have been having one good suspect is a bad compressor start capacitor. The fan comes on but not the compressor,,this is a good indication the cap. is bad.. On the wall by your outside unit is a power disconnect. Open the box and pull the disconnect or flip the breaker to the off position. Now have someone turn the T-stat on and wait a minute then off and wait a minute, on and off ... you should hear a relay clicking on/off or in/out inside the control box of the A/C unit. When in the on position you should hear a slight buzzing sound also once the relay pulls in, this will tell you the t-stat is telling the unit what it should be doing. If all this is good then your unit is just is not cooling right and needs further troubleshooting. Hope this helps FixYa up.

I am trying to replace my old thermostat with a programmable one, but the wiring diagram on the new one does not incorporate all of the wires that are currently attached. Please help.

The existing connections are O, R, Y, G, C, E, W2. Yes you will need a thermostat designed for the electric heater coils as indicated by the E terminal. The W2 could indicate a second stage cooling compressor.

New Goodman condenser unit run almost contiously using too much e

I'm not sure of the kilowatts. The 10 min on and 5 off is telling me there is to much heat by the thermostat or you house needs more insulation. The new compressor is designed for more efficient run time. The other thing is the unit to big for your house? It should run 10 -15 min when low humidity is in the house. Otherwise longer if its pretty warm inside.
