You are my hero! I fought with this thermostat four hours to try to wire it up. You are an amazing teacher with all your tips and tricks. It’s all about making the connection with these confusing things. Twist your wires before putting them in the cap! Love it! Thank you so much!!! I had 8 wires in my electric box that needed to be shoved into those little caps.
Amazing, I did this going from a 2 wire to a 4 wire and this explained it all. With the right tools and instructions, all things are possible. Thank you, well done.
Good instructional video. Excellent job w/the importance of a solid connection. Nothing more frustrating than coming behind someone who hasn't done this. Ya know your diving into a real cluster!!
I have a Honeywell CT410A,B I removed the current thermostat. In the box were only two wires, 1 black 1 white. This is for a gas forced air garage heater. there is a electrical on/off switch mounted on the ceiling by the heater. this switch supplies power to the thermostat on the wall. Like i said earlier only two wires on the wall box. How to I wire the new thermostat which has 4 wires.? Thanks
thank you soooo much. i figured out that my kitchen heater was wired wrong from the previous owner or when it was built. now heating works as it should. thank you for explaining the wiring.
Thanx my friend I was so confused I even burned up the brand new thermostat ugh but I'm kinda going blind so I finally checked UA-cam and found your video now I've got it in and it works perfect, so once again THANK YOU 😎
You cannot always go by the wire color on the thermostat. I had to make sure T1and T2 on the thermostat went to the baseboard heater and L1 and L2 on the thermostat went to the input power. The house circuit breaker tripped when just using both black wires on the thermostat hooked to the baseboard heater.
I would mention that the thermostat may not have the same color wiring scheme. Mine, for example, had black and red for load and black and red for line. Other than that this tutorial is pretty good for 240V heater/thermostats. I had to figure out how to wire the 2 pole thermostat because the instructions did not match what I had in the wall. The instructions only show one wire corresponding to each of the four wires on the thermostat. The existing thermostat was a single pole, so that didn't help.
Usually, black goes to line and red goes to load. In some cases, wiring a device backwards as he does here could cause problems. Always read the instructions that come with your device. Even electricians get cocky and lazy sometimes.
did all that but my stat when switch to 50 degrees both heaters will get hot and will not respond to the stat. but i can turn them off with the stat. Bad stat????
Mine has a black and red in Line1 and line2. A black and red in T1 and T2. I connected the hot black wire to the black wire on L1. I connected the incoming white wire neutral to L2. I connected the black wire going to the heater to the black wire on T1. I connected the white wire going to the heater to the red wire on T2. IT didn't work!!!!!!!!!! The heater started making a loud sound when I turned it on 😁😢 What did I do wrong??
Hi. I am having a hard time figuring out which pair of wires runs to the load. I am using an MM400 multimeter in Ohmmeter mode. When I touch the terminals on the Ohmmeter to each other. So I turned off the breakers and tried putting the Ohmmeter between each possible white-black wire pairing. I did not hear any beep in this process. What am I doing wrong?
iL Y A UN DÉLAI DE 30 À 60 MINUTES ENTRE DEUX DÉMARRAGES DE LA CHAUFFERETTE : MÊME SI JE METS LE THERMOSTAT À UN DEGRÉ SUPÉRIEUR À CELUI D,AVANT LA CHAUFFERETTE NE REDÉMARRE PAS. DONC LA TEMPÉRATURE DANS LA PIÈCE DEVIENT INCONFORTABLE. EST-CE DÛ À L'UN OU L'AUTRE DES APPAREILS ?
Crazy that after searching online for days, this is the video that best explains this concept.

I always tell my customers it's only good for 1 puff of smoke ;)

Thank you i ended up hiring an electrician after my thermostat gave out and didnt pay close enough attention to its removal.
Tks again

Dude is a pro’s pro! Thx!
I like this guy’s voice and teaching style

My friend you saved me time and money I appreciate you....

Awesome Video, you made it very easy for people to understand, Even the beginner. Thumbs up
Thank you so much! You're the MVP today.
What an awesome video..very well explained...just what I was looking for..thanks so much for the straight forward video...thank you very much..5 star
Omg thank you, you saved my night, because the day was entirely trying to wire it. Haha

Best video I found. Well done thanks saved my bacon!
Thank you for sharing. Better understanding
Thank you Thank you. This was exactly what I needed.
Why didn’t you explain which black went to Black and which Black went to white
I noticed that too....for beginners this could cause alot of questions.
Is it possible to go from double pole to single pole

Hello. What breaker are you using for the thermostat?
Nice but very confusing. I couldn’t tell which wires you put where! 😩
So it has to be feeding another thermostat on the other side because you need a double pole breaker, correct?
Watch the beginning it shows how to tell which wires go to the heater.
Thanks 🙏

What is wrong my hot wires beep with the ohms meter???????
None of mine beep when I'm on Ohms audio. It beeps when the probes touch each other but not when I touch the wires.
Mine has a black and red in Line1 and line2. A black and red in T1 and T2.
I connected the hot black wire to the black wire on L1.
I connected the incoming white wire neutral to L2.
I connected the black wire going to the heater to the black wire on T1.
I connected the white wire going to the heater to the red wire on T2.
IT didn't work!!!!!!!!!! The heater started making a loud sound when I turned it on 😁😢

OL means open loop?

For me two pair shows continuity, you tested continuity only on two pair of wire and not on third pair. SO not sure if the test is definitive
hey there, So I have one heater that as soon as someone turns it on it shuts the other off ??
Or does it throw your breaker off? If so, somebody has wired two heaters into the same breaker and that breaker may be too small.
Hot wires go in last
7:48 missed the waste bucket
We can't see what your showing, YOU'RE COVERING WITH YOUR HANDS!!!
I haven't used wire strippers since I was a first year trusty old Klein lineman pliers never break like every pair of strippers I've come across
Theme was wiring two pole. Wasted too much time on general wiring techniques. Can watch videos for that if we want to learn that.
good job on explaining absolutely nothing and wasting my time
Omg
Double pull
