I removed the old Dometic thermostat last night to install a Honeywell thermo and can't get it to work. Of course, I didn't pay attention to where the 3 wires went on the Dometic and can't get that one to work either.

I've attached the pictures of the old and new thermostat as well as the wires coming out of the wall.

PLEASE HELP...it's 86 degrees in GA!

The Dometic Single Zone LCD Thermostat comes with a new control box for the A/C with a different wiring setup.

Do you have a voltmeter? Check that you have 12v red to black.

If you have voltage you can open up the interior ceiling access to verify the Orange wire is connected or some other color.


I do have one, but I'm an idiot on working one.

If that Honeywell is a standard residential thermostat I don't think it will work with only 12voolts as we use 24 volts on residential equipment. It might work with the batteries installed.

This isn't working


Is there something else I can check? Yesterday I could get the screen to work on the old Dometic...but now nothing.

Honeywell will not work with the digital control board up in the ceiling.
Above colors sound correct.

It looks like the prior owner upgraded your thermostat. The twisted/curled ends are probably not used anymore. The three wires with straight ends that are trimmed are probably what you removed from your single zone.

There is an updated single zone now available. Called Comfort Touch.
Still not programmable.

Other than following the wire color scheme, or looking at manuals, I wouldn't know what to do.

Dang.. how many times do we tell you guys to take pictures before doing this stuff!! ๐Ÿ™‚
