SOURCE: honeywell RTH230B

Normally, you should have 5 color wires: W-White, Y-Yellow, G-Green, R-Red and C-Blue.

The Blue wire is a common from the transformer on older systems, which is probably hooked to RC terminal.

Try this: Remove the blue wire and jump the RC to RH with the red wire and you will be fine. Blue wire should not be needed with the new thermostat.

This should also be stated in the instruction manual.
Hope this helps.

SOURCE: honeywell rth230b won't shut off heat

Sounds like a relay sticking. Possibly in the thermostat or possibly the furnace relay at the furnace. The next time it happens, unplug the thermostat from the wall. If the furnace still runs then it's the furnace relay.

Hope that helps...

SOURCE: My Honeywell rth230b thermostat continues

Your snowflake should flash for about five minutes, that is the time delay built into the thermostat. It should stop after that and your system should begin to function.

My Honeywell RTH230B flashes a snowflake them the fan shuts off and

Hello, the snowflake flashing is a (supposed to be) 5 minute delay to prevent short cycling of the compressor. This delay can sometimes get stuck thus requiring replacement. To test , remove top of thermostat to where you can identify wires and terminals. Have someone stand near the ac unit for this test, and then take a wire or paperclip and briefly touch Rc to Y. This should start the outdoor unit. R to G will start the indoor fan

Have a honeywell RTH230b and this morning the display on the thermostat is flashing a house with a 4 inside the outline of the house and the heat is at 63 We had it set at 70. This is a 205 model

The Honeywell RTH230B indicates that the system is running the overnight (sleep) program with the 4 inside the house symbol. When the house flashes, the desired temperature has been changed from that programmed temperature (bypass mode). The bypass mode should only run for 2 hours.

The default programming starts the sleep period at 10 P.M. and ends at 6 A.M. On the original program in the thermostat, the temperature target was set to 62 during the heating season and 82 for the air conditioning season.

Since the thermostat was set to bypass, you should check who in your house pressed the Up/Down buttons on the thermostat to change the house temperature. Beyond that, check the start and end times and the programmed temperatures for each scheduled period. Honeywell has the manual for the RTH230B here: https://customer.honeywell.com/resources/techlit/TechLitDocuments/69-0000s/69-1800.pdf .

I hope this helps

(On my own programmable thermostat, we recently found that one period in the week had been left at the default setting. Thus the thermostat was programmed to maintain 60 degrees when we wanted 65 during the day.)

New instruction manual for RTH230B

Do you mean the Honeywell RTH230B programmable thermostat? Most of the Honeywell thermostat manuals are available here: http://yourhome.honeywell.com/en/faqs/thermostat . Scroll through the pages to find the RTH230B or use the search feature. The search engine found the installation and user guide in three different languages, see https://yourhome.honeywell.com/en/supportsearch#q=Rth230b . The direct link to the manual in English is https://customer.honeywell.com/resources/techlit/TechLitDocuments/69-0000s/69-1800.pdf .

I hope this helps.

I replaced the battery to honeywell RTH230B. Heat won't turn on.

I followed a comment from a previous source and reversed the polarity of the batteries. I then flipped them back to the correct position and the flashing battery indicator went away and the thermostat functions correctly.

Honeywell RTH230B will not call for heat.

On a call for heat an internal switch should connect Rh and W, if it does not the stat is bad. Try it with no wires connected.
