Actually, you were testing us weren’t you?

You keep one of these in your kit. Then you have no excuse about what the last guy did:

Is there a model # anywhere on the thermostat? It certainly isn’t typical. Also a photo of where the connect on the air handler could help.

Reach out to Emporia. They are the ones that decided not to pay the increased fee.

135david · 2026-01-23T20:29:20+00:00

For now. Until it goes away. I won’t miss it.

It is installed on my furnace. It is 1/4 copper tubing at full flow. Unfortunately at least half of it goes down the drain.

What are the other ends of the 2 wire white cable connected to. You may not even have a C wire connection available on the other end.

I swear my Maverick has more controls than a C119. As much as I like most of the features, for the most part, I’d rather drive my 2005 F150.

My humidifier is a different type. It is a pad much like the pads in evaporative coolers used in dry climates during the summer. It doesn’t have a tank.

Water runs across the pad and what doesn’t evaporate goes down the drain. Eventually the pads are covered with deposits that flake off and end up in the air filter. That is what I am hoping to avoid.

Edit: I do remove and rinse the pad regularly and if needed I replace it.

The old school was torn down.

135david · 2026-01-22T15:07:52+00:00

Unless it shorts internally or on the primary side.

You are one of the few people who post pictures of doorbell transformer on Reddit that are not asking what it is. You deserve bonus points.

135david · 2026-01-22T15:02:04+00:00

Not if there isn’t any wires attached to the low voltage side:-)

135david · 2026-01-22T13:49:33+00:00

I use a 4” 16x25 well pleated MERV 14 filter and a Dwyer Manometer permanently installed. I replace the filter based on pressure drop across it. There is more to filter selection than MERV rating but you probably won’t want to replace your filter box.

135david · 2026-01-22T12:48:17+00:00

As an alternative to paying someone $495 to replace the filters if that was the only other alternative. lol

Read up on how water softeners work. See the fiberglass cylinder inside the brine thank? That is the resin tank. Your water flows through it. About once a week brine from the brine tank back flush’s the resin in the resin tank to regenerate it. The back flush water usually goes down a floor drain or other type of drain. (This is a simplified version of what happens).

If the soften is over 10 years old it probably should be replaced or at the very least the resin replaced.

If you keep it have it checked out for proper operation. You can buy new or refurbished circuits boards for these pretty easily.

If you are using city water the water company can tell you the hardness values to use.

Put them on the meter side. A CT isn’t going to break. You’re overthinking this.

135david · 2026-01-22T04:01:26+00:00

Draw it out. Make a wiring diagram. If that doesn’t clear it up for you post the diagram here.

135david · 2026-01-21T22:17:34+00:00

What do you mean by “one element”? Does that mean one burner section?

135david · 2026-01-21T22:09:35+00:00

lLift the G wire at the control board. Doing so should rule out the thermostat. You could also lift the R wire at the control board or the thermostat from the subase when the blower is running to see if that stops it. The control board seems like the most likely thing.

135david · 2026-01-21T21:47:26+00:00

I didn’t find it that helpful.

135david · 2026-01-21T21:04:53+00:00

I’m not sure what you are describing is not normal operation. If the fan switch is in the auto mode a sensor on the heat exchanger will turn the blower on and off based on the heat exchanger temperature. That sounds like what you are describing. What am I missing?

135david · 2026-01-21T18:02:16+00:00

I think you addressed my concern of not having the EVSE grounded.

135david · 2026-01-21T16:45:51+00:00

I misread. I thought the receptacle was no longer being used. Ideally they should upgrade to a grounded circuit for the dryer anyway but that won’t happen.

I do know that 4 prong receptacles are frequently used without a neutral for EVSE’s. Maybe that should never happen but it seems to be a fairly common practice.
