New thermostat not cooling. Blowing heat instead.

I purchased a Honeywell RTH6400 Series programmable thermostat and having trouble with the wiring. I have a York Stellar Plus High Efficiency Heat Pump. Natural Gas blower in the attic. I labeled the wires of the old thermostat with the exact stickers provided, connected the new Honeywell best I could following the directions and the heat works, but switching to cool blows heat too. Someone mentioned I may have a 2 stage heap pump? I guess that is a multi-stage heat pump?

Page 11 reads is will not work with a multi-stage heap pump system or 120/240 volt system.

I don't have the old thermostat any more and can't remember if it have a aux/emerg switch. How can I tell? Wires are ''G'' ''O'' ''W1'' ''Y'' and a red one that was in RC/RH of the old one so I labelled it with both because it did not differentiate.

    Found old type. I did not throw away due to mercury. Just have that piece however. It is a HONEYWELL T874A-1036 NSFP T874A1036
    THERMOSTAT 50-80 MULTISTAGE 24-30VAC.

    So I assume Page 11 explains it perfectly. Will not work with. I guess I need to purchase another thermostat.

Hello You have only 5 wires? multi stage if so ,is run by something else.Check that RH/RC is jumped out on new stat.Also check that O is not on the B terminal.If there is an A/B select switch set it to O.Emergency heat button dont matter as there is no wire to run it with only 5 wires.

My honeywell heater thermostat is only blowing cold air, there is no heat blowing regardless of setting. how can i fix it? it won't even turn off.

the wiring for thermostats are color coded. R(red)power, Y(yellow)cooling, G(green)common, W(white)heating. O(orange), E(emergency)heat. Make sure that you have the right thermostat because there is an air condition thermostat and there is a heatpump thermostat and they wire up differently.

I just purchased a honewell RTH 221 thermostat. I

Typically the four thermostat wires are:

R = power (or common)
G= FAN
W = Heat
Y = Cool

Assuming that you have a normal electric or gas furnace and air conditioning, if the heat really is coming on, then just switch the position of the the Yellow and White wires.

RTH6400 Honeywell - where does the blue wire go. There is also a yellow wire. How do I connect the red wire when there is a wire clip going in the place marked R & RC???

it all depends how things are wired inside your furnace downstairs on a basic system blue is usually a common - C and yellow is for cool - Y just leave the jumper in from R & RC R is 24v power and RC is 24v power in Cool yuo will just have to squeeze the new wire in with it before you get to far i would open up the doors on you furnace and see where the connections are in there so you dont blow any fuses

Sorry for being the bearer of bad news but you need to upgrade the selection to make it work right.
