ya that last part is what im confused about... the set of two wires, red and white, which goes to C and which goes to Y?

that section of the diagram seems to be torn off....of course and i found it online for my model but it doesnt match up with what I have.... the bottom set of wires, the red and the white, that dont run to the thermostat, im confused as to where those go. I know with the TSTAT wires, the...

I had to disconnect the circuit board to get behind it, and cant remember how the wires went back. I cant remember if the second red wire was with the yellow or one of the whites... i had them arranged in order of how they went to the side and i stupidly bumped them with something and they all...

it was the hoses. Clogged up like whoa. cleaned it all out but its time for a new unit. Will be getting a new furnace soon. My house is only like 1,100 sq ft. How much do furnaces typically run?

the things I am checking are hardly "destroy it yourself". And the reason im not rushing to replace the whole unit is because when the guy came out last year and did a full service job on it, he said everything looked to be in good shape. I get the feeling that 90% of the responses on here...

exactly. And I have had several occasions of the exact thing happen with different devices I didnt know about or care to learn about and wasted a lot of money. I dont believe I am working beyond my limit but I am almost there. I think checking these hoses is going to be the last thing and if it...

and it amazes me how quick people are to call someone instead of trying to learn and fix something themselves. Just in doing everything I have done so far I have learned a ton about something i own. Just like how I taught myself to do a propper coolant flush in my car last month instead of...

pardon the ignorance, but which picture is it? I couldnt point out a stack fan to save my life. And I see a few black hoses with green clips lol. Should I expect a ton of water to come out or clogged debris? if it is clogged, where has the condensation been pooling? Or is that why its shutting...

any chance that that part went bad with the symptoms im having? on page 3, it shows a filter. I have never checked or washed this filter. I wonder if that could be a problem as well http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/5442/20130221193556.jpg After looking at the picture, i cant seem to see the...

carrier PRODUCT: 58SXC040---101GG MODEL: 58SXC040-GG Ill get some pics in a second. And where abouts would my drain line be? Is that the pipe thats near the AC unit outside that usually has water coming out of it?

I just did a test to see if its the thermostat. Followed these instructions (wrapping the white and red wires together): http://homeguides.sfgate.com/tell-home-thermostat-bad-42323.html my furnace is blowing hot the longest it ever has, hasnt shut off, and is raising the house about ten...

well i cant argue with that

its amazing how many service calls are made when all the problem is is something as simple as a dirty flame sensor or debris in an igniter. I like ruling out every possible thing I can physically do before throwing my money at an overpaid technician. there is a white pipe in front of the...

replaced the flame sensor. Ran for about 8 minutes, raised the house 3 degrees, then lukewarm air started coming out, unit shut off. Have it set to 73, stopped at 68. So, not the flame sensor. Not worried about the ten dollar waste of money though. at least I can rule that out. Checked the...
