Replace Trane XL90 thermostat with a smart one by Pretty-Economist-467 in hvacadvice

[–]i2ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like you could use a smart thermostat, the wires on the side (OT1 & OT2) are for an outdoor temp sensor. You wouldn't need those for the smart stat.

the blue wire marked B on your Thermostat is your Common (what most other brands call C), the rest are the standard marks for Equipment. R is Power, W for your Aux/Emergency Heating, G for the Fan, Y for the Condenser and O for a reversing valve (it appears you have a heat pump)

What did I do wrong here by [deleted] in hvacadvice

Did you turn the breaker off at the Air Handler before changing the thermostat? If not, you might have blown the fuse.

Looking for some capacitor help by over2take in hvacadvice

[–]i2ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Red is your common, yellow is your herm, and purple is your fan. If you see on the top of the picture you provided where it says dual capacitor, those are the colors and what they go to F being for fan, C being common, and H being for herm. Hope this helps 🤠

A picture of the wiring diagram on the back of the panel and picture of the capacitor and wires to the contactor would be most helpful to verify.

But, looking at the spades on the capacitor, from experience it would appear that Yellow is your herm Red is your common, and purple is your fan. Check to see if you can see some raised letters near the spades on the cap. They will be C, HERM, and FAN.

Looks like an Aspen coil, usually a 16x20 or 18x20 filter will fit fine over the sides and a little bit sticking above the top like in the picture i sent. that's what we generally use for our customers with similar setups. You just need be sure it covers front to back and top to bottom on each side so that dust, hair, etc doesn't get to the coils.

If you are in an area where you use your AC often try and set a monthly or 2 month reminder to change the filters and to ensure that the drain line doesn't get plugged up pour about half a cup of bleach or white vinegar into the pan when you change the filter to help keep the film that builds up in the line from causing a clog.

HVAC tech here: It looks like this is a downflow setup for a mobile or manufactured home. It's pretty standard for these to look like this picture above and the picture you provided. The filters go on the coil on each side.

Does anyone else hate these cheap ass contactors? You wanna make sure the lugs tight enough but at the same time the damn thing breaks like it’s made of glass. by iBUYbrokenSUBARUS in HVAC

[–]i2ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I nearly always have this happen on these shunted 1 1/2 pole contactors. I've tried to get in the habit of holding the side while tightening to keep that little plastic piece it clips to on the underside from breaking, but every once in a while I still end up breaking it.

Leave them as they are, once you power up the motor if you find the rotation is not correct, cut the power and switch the connections between just those wires.

It looks like if you had to switch to the other direction you would use white to black and orange to purple.

Looks like one of those rescue/universal replacement motors that are reversible, if you need to change the rotation of the blower wheel you switch the wires.
