I recently upgraded my older GE Weathertron Thermostat to a W-R 1F95-1271 Programmable Thermostat. I matched up the wires in the most logical way I could find using the instructions leaving two of the wires from the Weathertron unused. I tested it first by trying to run just the fan only, and everything was fine. But when I tried cycled through the heating and cooling stages everything went dead. I went under the house and checked the air handled and found that a fuse above the transformer had blown, but I could still hear her transformer humming. The fuse is a Bussman GQM 32/10 and I'm having a hell of a time trying to find it. Could you please point me in the direction of where I can find this fuse, and how to correctly hook up this thermostat? I can provide pictures of how the GE was hooked up, but it has more wires than I think I would need for the W-R. The system is an original GE air handler (almost 30 years old) with resistive auxiliary heat and Goodman heat pump (about 17 years old). Your help is greatly appreciated.

Weathertron = White Rodgers

X2 = E

G = G

Tape off your old T.

Try Radio Shack for that fuse. It appears to be GMQ
