SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Read and follow manufacturer instructions carefully. Fol-
low all local electrical codes during installation. All wiring
must conform to local and national electrical codes. Improper
wiring or installation may damage thermostat.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety alert sym-
bol . When the safety alert symbol is present on equipment
or in the instruction manual, be alert to the potential for person-
al injury.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION. These words are used with the safety alert symbol.
DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result
in severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies a haz-
ard which could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION
is used to identify unsafe practices which would result in minor
personal injury or property damage.
GENERAL
The commercial, 7-day, programmable thermostats are
wall-mounted, low-voltage thermostats which maintain room
temperature by controlling the operation of an HVAC (Heating,
Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system. Separate heating
and cooling set points and auto-changeover capability allow 4
different programming time periods for energy savings.
All thermostats allow up to 4 time/temperature settings to
be programmed per 24-hour period. Each thermostat stores
programs for 7 independent days. Batteries are not required.
During power interruption the internal NEVER-LOST™
memory stores programmed schedules for an unlimited
amount of time while the clock continues to run for at least
48 hours.
The thermostat can be configured to accept several different
equipment configurations, including heat pump operation.
NOTE: The thermostat is not factory-configured for use in heat
pump applications. The advanced setup must be performed to
configure the thermostat for use with heat pump units.
NOTE: The 33CS250-FS thermostats have wiring connections
for a remote room sensor and dry contacts. The 33CS220-FS
thermostats do not have these connections.

    How to fix Carrier DEBONAIR 33CS Thermostat when using 4 wires and cooling equipment tries repeatedly to turn on?
    • J
      John FreemanAug 20, 2025
      If, when using 4 wires (R, G, W, Y), the cooling equipment attempts repeatedly to turn on but fails, and the Carrier Thermostat display dims or disappears, it suggests there is not enough power available. To resolve this, connect a 270 ohm, 10 watt power resistor (supplied with the thermostat) at the air conditioning equipment between terminals W and C (for non-heat pump applications only).

    What to do if cooling will not turn on with Carrier DEBONAIR 33CS Thermostat?
    • J
      Jill WashingtonAug 25, 2025
      If your Carrier Thermostat's cooling function won't activate, first, ensure that you've selected COOL mode. Then, decrease the cooling set point to 10 degrees below the current room temperature. Check for 24 VAC at the Y1 terminal with a load connected. If the voltage is present, the thermostat is likely functioning correctly, and the problem lies with the wiring or the equipment itself. If 24 VAC is not present, consider replacing the thermostat. Also, verify the Compressor Cycle per Hour Limit, as cooling may be locked out.

      amanda83Aug 26, 2025
      If your Carrier Thermostat's heating isn't working, make sure you've selected HEAT mode. Increase the heating set point to 10 degrees above the room temperature. Check for 24 VAC at the W1/O/B terminal with a load connected. If the voltage is present, the thermostat is working as expected, and the issue is likely with the wiring or equipment. If 24 VAC is absent, you may need to replace the thermostat.

      Andrea GarciaAug 28, 2025
      If your Carrier Thermostat display dims or disappears and the heating equipment tries repeatedly to turn on when using 4 wires (R, G, W, Y), it indicates there is not enough power available. To solve this, connect a 270 ohm, 10-watt power resistor at the air-conditioning equipment between terminals Y and C (for non-heat pump applications only).

      amywyattAug 30, 2025
      To troubleshoot a Carrier Thermostat with a non-illuminated display, check for 24 VAC at the R terminal connection. The R terminal must be connected for the thermostat to operate correctly.

    Why does my Carrier DEBONAIR 33CS Thermostat display rise to 99 F?
    • C
      Charlotte FitzgeraldSep 1, 2025
      If your Carrier Thermostat temperature display rises to 99 F, it indicates that there is not enough voltage reaching the thermostat. You should check the wiring and power supply to resolve this issue.

      Scott WalterSep 2, 2025
      To troubleshoot a Carrier Thermostat with a display that is not illuminated, check for 24 vac at the R terminal connection. The R terminal must be connected for the thermostat to operate properly.

    Why is my Carrier Thermostat calling for both heating and cooling at the same time?
    • L
      Lauren EverettSep 4, 2025
      If your Carrier Thermostat energizes both heating and cooling when calling for cooling, it might be configured for a heat pump. To resolve this, configure the thermostat for non-heat pump operation. Refer to Table 2, Step 1 for instructions.

    Why does my Carrier Thermostat heat turn on during cooling cycle?
    • C
      cisnerostonySep 6, 2025
      If your Carrier Thermostat is controlling a heat pump and heat comes on during the cooling cycle, configure the thermostat for heat pump operation using Table 2, Step 1.
