PrecisionMachinisT you were correct! Taking out the jumper between W/E
and W2 did nothing. But taking the W wire out of the B terminal solved
the problem!

I just wonder. My old thermostat used the W (1st stage heat). Is my
HVAC system crippled not using that wire?

Well, I get heat when I ask and it shuts off when it needs to, so it
seems ok to me atleast.

Check your email.

Without going back over you older posts...I'd say probly your new thermostat
considers the *heat pump* as being *1st stage heat.*..and so that old "W"
wire most likely should now rightfully go onto the "W1" terminal at the stat
instead.

Already figured as much.

Bullshit !!! LOL

SVL was NOT the one that pointed out the glaring mistake of connecting
W to B. Scroll up & you will see that it was I who pointed that
out.

Just because your old t-stat had the W wire connected does not mean it
ever saw power or was ever energized.

Kinda like that moron at White-Rogers you talked to.

Now that you have all the answers, ask yourself why things seemed to
work all summer in AC mode.........
