Blue is common. never let that wire touch any other color or you will short the transformer. Use a thermostat for single stage gas heat. R=Red W=White Y=Yellow which should go to the outdoor ac contactor and C=Blue which should also go to the outdoor ac contactor. If in doubt call a qualified Heating contractor to help you install. It can get quite expensive letting the smoke out of your parts.

SOURCE: I have a DuoTherm BriskAIr 13.5K BTU. The Dometic

If you look at control box at roof unit, they usually use a separate set of wires for furnace. See what colors they are attached to at harness to thermostat. Some just follow other harness, and come out at thermostat. (bypass control box) Once you've determined which 2 they are, join them together & see if furnace starts, as it should. If it does, thermostat is faulty. If not, pull outside cover off & check voltages at furnace. I'm guessing by furnace model that your unit is approx 30 ft , but if it's a park model, you may have 24 volt system on furnace or 12 volt. Another way of confirming is to go to back of furnace where air intake grille is inside your unit, and locate 2 blue wires going to furnace & remove whatever wires are attached to them & connect them together. Furnace should start up.

SOURCE: Trying to wire RUUD gas furnace. connection block

No problem have done this many times. R from the t-stat goes to R on the indoor unit. G goes to G Y goes to Y and C goes to C if you have a C or the t-stat the you are using. If there is no C there dont worry about it. It only need to be hookup if the t-stat uses power from the unit to run. Many t-stats today use battery power and do not need the C wire hooked up. Now R and C from the outdoor unit. R goes to the Y on the indoor unit and C goes to C on the indoor unit. That means that you may have two wires under the Y terminal and sometimes under the C terminal on the indoor unit. If on the outdoor unit there is no designation of R and C dont worry, just hook one wire to each of the two wires there for your low voltage connection. It does not matter which one goes to which unless they are marked then it may matter.
This should get you up and running and see it really isn't that hard!! :-)

If 4 wire at thermostat at furnace green on G, Blue on Y, red on R,and white on W same at thermostat If these do not match find a thermostat with these terminals

SOURCE: Carrier Infinity Control Thermostat SYSTXCCUID01-B

Your old stat is wired for a traditional thermostat and not a communication stat like the new infinity you have. There is a module plug on the furnace board that will need to be connected to the new thermostat for it to work. The wires that are wired now are from a terminal strip inside the furnace. Please contact your local Carrier dealer. They may be able to get that harness for you

Furnace pilot won't stay on.

This can be a number of things;
1. Thermostat is not programmed properly and all your doing is rebooting it
2. Bad electric ignitor for the furnace
3. Wiring is wrong from thermostat to furnace or vice versa

How to test White-Rodgers thermostat 1f56w-499?

I cannot remember which three or maybe two. but you can cross these wires to see if the unit kicks in. If it does then your thermostat is bad and needs to be replaced. Someone else may know or remember which ones to cross to do this.

My gas pack won't light

First, the thermostat white wire is the wire that initiates the furnace to start. When you select heat on your thermostat the tech should get a 24-28 volts between the white wire and common on the thermostat wire in the furnace. If you do not get the required voltage, there is a break in the wire from the furnace to the thermostat that needs to be tracked down and eliminated.

Low voltage wiring for thermostat and condensing unit

wiring from thermostat goes to furnace/air handler "R"=24volt primary, "G"=blower/fan, "W"=heating, "Y"=cooling/outdoor unit, "C"=common/blue wire. The "Y" and "C" from the furnace/thermostat wiring go to the outdoor unit and does not usually matter as to which one goes where unless there is a control board or timer in which case "Y" to "Y"=yellow. Common to "C"=blue or black. This will provide cooling.

Hi Proper way on wiring furnace.

I can give you a start, For heat only, R terminal on furnace to Red wire to R or RH terminal on thermostat. W terminal to White wire to W terminal on thermostat. G terminal to Green wire to G terminal on thermostat. This will get you heat but not air conditioning.

Goodman GPM075-3 air conditioning connections

your thermostat powers 'Y' for cooling. That in your case blue wire connects to 'Y' on the control board in the furnace. Then a pair of low-voltage wires connects 'Y' and 'C' on the furnace to the two wires to the coil of the contactor in the a/c condensing unit. So to follow the path, the signal wire from the thermostat sends 24v down the Y wire to the furnace board Y terminal which also connects to one side of the contactor coil in the air conditioner. To complete the control circuit to the air conditioner there has to be a common wire. This is connecting the C wire from the furnace board to the other side of the contactor in the air conditioner. Hope this helps.

No heat after installing honeywell thermostat H8110U

hook up the blue wire in the furnace cabinet where the blower section and the other thermostat wires are connected to the furnace. the thermostat you have uses a common wire from the thermostat to the furnace and this needs to be hooked up in the furnace otherwise you will have the problem you are having.

My Goodman furnace wont light.

Open up the unit to get to the control board. Make a short jumper wire and disconnect the wires going to R and W terminals on the board. Connect the jumper to R and W. Depress the door safety switch. The circuit board should indicate a call for heat and the furnace should start. If it doesn't, look for a fuse that may have blown either on the circuit board or in the wiring. If the unit started by jumping the W and R but does not when you reconnect the thermostat, you either have a bad thermostat or a bad thermostat wire.

Have a goodman furnace wont fire check light staying red no errors and i cant smell gas but my gas is on could it be there limiter switches there two upper and lower please help

Probably not, take a small piece of wire and open up the furnace. On the control board find the R and W terminal. It's ok to touch the terminals because the door safety switch will be open. Take that small piece of wire and jump the R and W terminals. Then hold in the door switch to see if the furnace starts. It may take 30 seconds or so so tape the switch closed. If the furnace starts you have either a bad thermostat, broken thermostat wire or a lose wire. If it still does not operate, you have a bad circuit board.
