Hello, I am trying to wire up my new Nest thermostat coming from a Trane Weathertron. The error code E106 keeps coming up. It seems to heat the house fine. I've included pictures. Thanks in advance!

    I have it set up for electric heat pump with forced air.

    106 looks like an issue with your reversing valve, "o" wire. Turn on your heat, check your condenser/outside unit and see if you have cool air blowing off the fan. This would mean your reversing valve is working and you are not just using your electric heater to heat the house. If so, double check settings and be sure its setup for heat pump with back up electric heat, reversing valve energized with "o" wire and energized while in cooling mode. If settings are right turn off main power for air handler/ inside unit and turn back on. Nest may need time to learn settings. Also i believe your black wire should be your aux wire. I cant see the top pic to well to see what the brown wire is attached to. Good luck.

    The outside fan is not running just making a buzzing noise is that something to do with the wiring? The brown wire goes to R

  • Jennifer Hoffman Nov 12, 2016

    I put the black wire in the aux spot and now the fan outside is blowing cold air. Hopefully I don't get another error code. Thanks for your help

    Turn off main breaker for air handler. On the nest put red to rh, green to g, white to w, orange to o, yellow to y, blue to c and black to aux. Cap other wires and do not use. Turn on the breaker. In settings you should have, heat pump with backup electric heat, "O" controls the reversing valve and the reversing valve is energized while in cooling mode. That should do it. If that dont clear the code look through manual on how to clear codes off stat. Good Luck.

OK. Here is a Trane Weathertron BAYSTAT240 thermostat wiring picture. This heat pump w/ electric (emergency) heaters is running right now. Notice the G terminal has green wire, the R terminal has red wire, the white wire is jumpered from W to X2, etc. The black wire loop you see in the center hole is unconnected.

This unit is adjusted by leveling the base - loosen the screw to the left of "R" and the one to the right of "F". Twist the base clockwise to RAISE the indicator. This makes the mercury in the switch turn ON at a different temperature. Remember to tighten those 2 screws again.

You will have to experiment several times to make the unit read exactly right. If the tech installed the base exactly level, the unit would read right (it says here).

I need to change Trane Weathertron Baystat 239 Thermostat over to Honeywell RTH6360D 5-2 Day Programmable Thermostat?

Question edited for clarity.

Installation manual, but it has some very specific requirements. You may not have the correct one.

The RTH6360 thermostat does not support L/A, S, or U terminals. If there are wires in terminals that are not listed, you will need additional wiring support. Visit yourhome.honeywell.com/support to find out if the thermostat will work for you.

I don't understand that, and if you don't, you need a heating or electrical engineer.

Heat and air not working on new home.

Hi,

please check the vents in the rooms that are not cooling well. There might be a hole/leak in your heating system. The thermostat itself might not be the problem. If possible, please research google nest to check if it has multiple thermostats that can be used to more accurately state the average temperature across several rooms of your home.

You might need to get an hvac diagnostic to find and plug all of the leaks in your home before deciding to alter any of your heating system.

Thank you.

Heat/Cool does not respond after replacing Trane Weathertron BAYSTAT239 with Honeywell RTHL3550

Sounds like you didn't turn the power off and blew the low voltage fuse. Typically a 5 amp blade style (like a car) inside furnace. TURN THE POWER OFF!!

Changing From Trane to Honeywell

Color ---> New stat terminal

Blue--------C
Green------G
Yellow-----Y
Orange----O
Red---------R
White------E and Aux.
Tan---------unused, tape and secure it

If there is Rh and Rc or R and Rh, these terminals should be jumpered together.

I used to install Weathertrons eons ago. Whatever you do DO NOT connect the blue wire to the B terminal, you will short out your low voltage transformer immediately when you switch to heat

Trane Weathertron XE1000 Thermostat Wiring

Check to see if you have the system switch accidently on em. heat. The way you have it wired is correct except for the having brown on e. disconnect brown wire and cut ofbare end just in case they have the wire hooked up for constant run on roof.
