Coleman digital thermostat white wire question

[jaycorider]

For those that upgraded to the Coleman Mach digital thermostat... was the white wire capped when you received it?

Mine had an orange twist nut already installed so I am trying to determine if I got a used thermostat.

Thanks.

Yes, the white wire on mine also had an orange wire nut on it when i took it out of the box.

Did yours have a Coleman box or just the outer shipping box?

Mine was in plastic bag inside the brown shipping box.

Yep, white wire had a cap on it. Don't know why. If you're replacing the regular Coleman Mach thermostat it's pretty much wire for wire. If you have a smart phone, the first step after removing to old thermostat off the wall but BEFORE disconnecting any wires is to snap a couple reference pictures.

Should look something like this

A little closer

Mine arrived in a plastic bag inside of a small white cardboard box, the seller put the box inside of a Priority mail shipping box.

Mine was received the same way. It had the wire nut on the white wire and was inside a plastic bag with instructions and then wrapped in bubble wrap. The vendor (Amazon) sent in a yellow envelope. It was new. As for installing I just would undo 1 wire from the old thermostat/wall and then receonnect the new corresponding thermostat wire. It was an easy wire for wire match on the old and new so I did not have to write anything down or take pictures.

+1. This is exactly how my install went and it works great. Just got back from a trip with it and it is much easier to set and keep your temp.
