Totaline Thermostate P274-1100 works fine when following programming but when I adjust the temperature manually it will start the furnace and after a few minutes the screen displays E2 error, blanks out, and then returns to normal and follows the programming correctly. So the problem is only when I override the programming.

E2 is the error code for low line voltage. I would think that this is a erroneous code witch would indicate that the thermostat is defective. do you know if this is true line voltage 120v or transformer voltage 24v?

Is it humming like a stuck motor or rattling, like a loose fan. If it's rattling, the fan could eith be loose on the motor or, the center hub could have broken loose.

SOURCE: My Carrier 58WAV136 forced air heater's problem is

There should be a code list inside the furnace panel access door. Find it and see what code 41 says, as I can't remember right off hand. Some of the possible causes could be air in gas line or low gas pressure. Could have blocked vent especialy if vented with plastic. Check for bird nest or dirt dobbers in vent. If vented with plastic could not have proper rise 1/4 per foot and have water trapped in pipe blocking vent. Is this a new problem or has this occured since installation?

SOURCE: Gas Furnace will not start when outside temperature rises to 50F

The anticipator basically prolongs or reduces the time from shut down to start up, so your furnace or air conditioner isn't cycling too much , off and on. It also will anticipate that the setting you have the thermostat set at is near, and will shut thermostat/burner off early, assuming that the temperature will be reached soon, just from heat already in chamber being circulated through system. If it gets too cold before furnace turns on, adjust anticipator, if too hot when it shuts down, go the other way, but whenever you move it, just go a little at a time, until you get it where you want it.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the explanation about anticipators. Do they figure much in furnace problems?"

SOURCE: Blank readings on Carrier Comfort 3 zone thermostat

The stat that works is called the main and the other two are called slave stats. The stats must be set to heat or cool the same as the main. If you want one room to cool and one to heat , sorry. Need to upgrade to auto changeover. Is this AC actally a Heat pump?

How to I control this ridiculous thermostat (Totaline P310-0210) Just moved into this house and no manual, if I press buttons it says stage 1 or stage 2, I/m freezing...someone help!!

Hello Stephanie Sakata,

I found 2 (two) "TOTALINE" manuals...

These little beauties all work pretty much the same...

Put the slide switch in HEAT MODE...

Push the "HOLD".. (which keeps any/all
clocks/gadgets and BACK-SETS off)...

and ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE where you want it...

ELSE...
Read these manuals (
close)...
No exact matches found Try these results

Furnace kicks on then shuts off

Coleman furnaces us a temperature delay with a temperature on around 130F to 150F and off around 110F.

If the inrush of cold air cools the delay below the off temperature the fan will go off until the heater heats it up to the on temperature.

I just installed a honeywell 5-2 progammable thermostate.. Everything is hooked up fine and I have my days, hours wake, sleep, leave...etc all set, but when it goes on.. for example, I have it set for...

You didn't include a model number, so it's hard to know for sure - but I'll take a stab at this one. Many of these t-stats have a programmable offset to reduce "hunting". This can be as little as 1 degree or more than 2 degrees.

This means if you set the offset to 1 degree and the room temperature to about 65 degrees, the furnace will heat the room until the t-stat registers a rising temperature of 66 degrees. The furnace shuts off and will not turn on again until the t-stat registers a falling temperature of 64 degrees. The average is 65 degrees, and prevents the furnace from starting and stopping numerous times instead of just once with the 1 degree offset.

You can further reduce the number of furnace start and stops by increasing the offset to 2 degrees. This would work like this when the t-stat is set to 65 degrees and the room is cool:

Room Temp Furnace
63 On
64 On
65 On
66 On
67 On
68 Off

The room is now warm and heat or furnace is off. The room begins to cool like below:

67 Off
66 Off
65 Off
64 Off
63 Off
62 On

With a 1 degree offset, the room temperature varies +/-1 degree (about 2 degrees total). With a 2 degree offset, the temperature about varies +/ -2 degrees (about 4 degrees total).

Also, when the thermostat shut the heat off, the heat that was made is delivered to the space instead of wasted by sending outdoors - so the room will get a little warmer even though no fuel is being burned. The same holds true at the other end. When the t-stat turn heat on, fuel is burned, but there's little heat until the source has reached the optimum temperature and then the heat is delivered to the space.

I hope this helps & good luck! Pleas rate my reply - thanks!

Heat comes on when the temperature setting calls for cool.

getting heat in the cooling mode leans toward the reversing valve in the outside unit. it changes the flow of refergerint so that the hot air you get outside in the summer is blown inside in the winter. another possibility is that the reversing valve isn't getting 24v check to see if you have 24v at O and C either at the t-stat, furnace, or the outside unit. if you check at the furnace rember the safty switch for the lower door if that switch is open you will have no power. i would look at the t stat first if you have 24v there go to the outside . 24v present outside will mean a bad valve or board, no 24v means a bad or broken conection in the control wire between the stat and the outside unit(usally the orange wire)

My furnace heats the house well, but during the cool down it actually blows cold air dropping the temperature causing the furnace to re-ignite. How do I adjust? Goodman - GMS9/GCS9

Depending on the age of the furnace you may be able to adjust the cool down. On some furnaces there is a silver box usually made by honeywell. This is your fan limit control. If you take the cover off you will see a dial with different temperature settings with 3 pins in a grove. The first one is fan on with temperature rise this turns the blower on when the furnace starts and warms up. The second is the fan off after furnace shuts down, this would be the one you want to adjust to a higher temperature to keep the blower from blowing cold air. The last pin is the high limit if the furnace gets to this temperature it will shut the furnace off but keep the blower running. Make sure that the thermostat fan option is set to auto and not on.

Thermostate temperature setting wrong

Are you saying that the temperature over-shoots it's setting by 5 degrees? If so and if the thermostat has an inticipator device in it you can adjust it. After removing the cover on the thermostat, look for a little brass triangle on the lower right hand side. There will be a scale with numbers on it and they are very hard to see. This device heats up prior to shutting off the thermostat so it will not over-shoot by more than a few degrees. Move the brass triangle either up or down and let the heater cycle a few times. If the temperature swing gets worse, go the other way next time.

If the thermostat is not heat inticipated, there will be a small "Dip" switch where you can adjust to a specific degree of under-shoot.

Visit the Honeywell website and you can pull up the installation/owners manual for your model. www.honeywell.com
