I have got a red blue black orange and yellow coming from the inside to the outside for the control wires how does it hook up on the goodman heat pump to the wires there! inside it is a blue with pink stripe red orange white blue (inside the heat pump) thanks

what colors are landed where on the tstat? and does the tstat wire that goes BOTH inside and outside have the same colors. also why are you in this situation, has everything been unhooked?

If you need further help, reach me via phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/thomas_092728000e6acb79

G= Green Wire (Fan) RC= Red Wire (Power Cooling) Y1= Yellow Wire (Cooling Contactor) RH= Black Wire (Power Heating) WB= White Wire (Heating Control) YO= Orange Wire (Damper Control)

Blue Wire is usually to C= Common

Hi, the problem is you have bought the wrong thermostat for the unit if it is not a heat-pump. A heat pump will have W-1, W-2 for heat strips, and Y-2 is for 2nd stage cooling. G is Green for Fan, R is Red for Power, Y is Yellow for cooling, and W would be for Heat. This is all you need if you have gas heat, Orange is for a reversing valve for a heat-pump, and the blue is also for the reversing valve on a Rheem heat-pump. The stat you need will have these terminals, if you are sure its not a heat pump, which I am sure you would know. The stat you need has these terminals. RC and RH. It will have a Red jumper wire connecting the 2 terminals. This is where the Red wire connects, to either one, as they connect together. Connect G to Green, Y to Yellow, and W to white. Since you only have one control transformer, that's why the stat has RH for Red Heating, and RC for Red cooling tied together. Just hook the red coming in to either one. You need only, R, G, Y, and W, to run this unit. Look at your old stat and check the terminals. A heat-pump, uses many more conductors to operate it. O or orange for the reversing valve, blue also depending on the unit. C for common, W1 for stage one heating, W2 for stage 2 heating, Y1 for stage one cooling and Y2 for stage 2 cooling. This stat is used for a commercial unit with multible stages of heat and cooling. If you have a common wire and no batteries on the old stat, go to the indoor unit, remove the panel, and see if you have a common wire hooked up, such as the brown, black, or maybe blue. If so, you will need to hook it up at the stat if it has a C terminal. If it has batteries, just take all of the extra wires and shove them in the wall. You won't need them. Just the R, G, Y, and W, and you will be back on line. Very easy.
Please rate me. Take it back and have them sell you the right stat. Please keep me posted and I will be here if you need my help. Thank you for using Fixya.

Red is 24v from transformer to terminal R
Green is to Terminal G for the air handler fan motor
Yellow is to Terminal Y for calling cooling to the compressor and fan outdoor unit
White is to Terminal W for calling the heat trips which are usually sequenced to keep them from all coming on at once and over drawing Amps and kick off breakers.
Orange was for outdoor reversing valve for a heatpump system
Blue or Black is usually used for common or negative continuity in the circuit such as Red wire and Blue/Black wire to power a thermostat features on digital T-stats. If not digital T-stat then no common is needed to hook-up at T-stat

Yes you did correct. Tape of f blue wire. On your thermostat you should have el/gas turn top el and fan should work Russ

outside unit L1 and L2 are load (input 240vac)
then you have control voltage, usually yellow and blue (24vac) this connects to some 18/2 thermostat wire which goes inside as white and red.

note: this unit may only need 24v control which is 2 wires from the inside unit and also 3 wires 2 hot 1 ground for line voltage.

STANDARD WIRING
on the inside unit you have green, white, blue and red control wires.

on your thermostat you have white, red, yellow and green

you run the wire from the outside unit to the inside unit. then run a 18/4 wire to the thermostat if wired and join the following wires.

inside unit thermostat outside unit
green------------------------green
white-------------------------white
red----------------------------red
blue-------------------------------------------------------blue
yellow--------------------yellow

First,Turn on the heat cycle (Not Emergency)and see if the outside unit come on,If not,and you don't have low voltage outside,Go to the inside unit and test the transformer,If you have low voltage from the transformer but not outside,It is the low voltage wires,If you don't have low voltage from the transformer,It's the transformer.If you have low voltage outside when in heat mode,but the unit won't come on,It's the contactor.Let me know if you need more help.

Sounds like a Goodman A/C. Wires R red Y yellow cool W white heat Green FAn Blue or brown will be common. O or orange if heat pump goes to orange outside unit.

is this a heat pump or straight cool with heat strips?

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.
