If that was a T6 thermostat they had on there, then the w1 terminal gets energized in cooling mode for some reason. Heat strips need to be on w2/aux on those stats
I use to run a bar on OSU campus in Columbus. Was introduced to the Michigan/Ohio rivalry pretty quickly. I moved there from Nashville. Now a licensed hvac technician in Connecticut. It’s a funny world.
Down here in the south I have seen a thermostat do this for dehumidification runs the compressor to pull the humidity out of the air and heat strips to keep the building from being a refrigerator. 👍👍👍👍
That’s what I believe had happened to one of the units…calling for cooling and then heat strips kept tripping on, and somehow, ruined the compressor. Thankfully it was under warranty since it was a brand new carrier unit from 5 years ago. I need to make sure the heat strips r kicking on or else the new compressor will be bye-bye soon lol
What is the RIB relay doing? Why is it there?Wired incorrectly/backfeeding, like another person said. Seems like someone who had no clue what they were doing was messing with/installed this unit!! SiteSage thermostat installed by someone that knows just enough to be dangerous!!

Very shady 24 volt,they ran 24 volts directly to heaters and that extra relay is probably feeding back through the green wire.thanks for sharing.

Why is it Ohio drivers always drive slow in the fast lane. Lol. Glad you figured it out. Thanks for another great video Bill!
At 6:49 that thermostat some times you need to call NASA to program those .
Good job Bill.
