I have an older amana heat pump. I don't actually know the model. On the thermostat it has Q674E 1056 8637. I am wanting to install a newer Hunter themostat model 44360.

I only have one problem, that I don't know how to handle.

On the existing thermostat the wires read...
W1 W2 G Rc RH Y2 Y1

W1 has white wire
W2 has blue wire
G has green wire
RC has red wire and also a jumper to RH
RH is jumpered to RC
Y2 has no wire
Y1 has yellow


On the hunter thermostat the connections that are available are...

G RC RH Y/O W/B Y1

so obviously the G goes to the G
the Rc goes to the Rc
the Y1 goes to the Y1
the RC and RH keep the jumper

PROBLEM: where does the W1 or White wire go?
where does the W2 or Blue wire go?

I hope i have given enough information.

This is my first attempt at doing any kind of wiring at my house, other than like a ceiling fan. Woo Hoo, 3 wires.

Any help with this would be so greatly appreciated!!

Scott

This thermostat is not compatible with your system, you require a multi stage heat pump thermostat. Buy a Honeywell.

Xenos.

The best way to escape a problem is to solve it.
