- Honeywell Thermostat 5.2 Models RTH2300B and RTH221B can be a challenge to open, to access the batteries. This QUICK video is shorter and quicker than my original video which also shows how to access the batteries: • How to Change Batterie...
My thermostat is UPC Code 085267406123. These models of Honeywell thermostats use two AAA alkaline batteries.
In this video, the thermostat has already been mounted to the wall. So, the process is somewhat different from opening this thermostat, if it has yet to be installed. To see how I opened the brand new thermostat, you could click the following link: • New 5.2 Honeywell RTH2...

Oh my gosh! I wish I had you with me to explain important things. We need more videos like this. Are you a teacher?
Thank you for your uplifting comment. I'm not exactly a teacher. But, I am a schoolbus driver who strives to do tje best I can, for each generation. My latest schoolbus-related RUclips project is a channel which I hope can help our youths proctively battle against Fear Of Missing Out (aka FOMO). Its link is youtube.com/@TheRomanticCrush
Little late to the party but wanted to stop by to say Thank You! Im ok with electrical work but have never messed with a thermostat but this was very needed! Woke up to seing my own breath last night (a bit of an exaggeration) but I have children. I would say you've impacted livelihood in a positive manner by uploading this to those of us that hadn't a clue!
Excellent. I'm glad the video worked well for you. Thank you for commenting!
Thank you 🙏🏽 purchased this house over one year ago. Heat has never been turned on not even with inspection. I managed to get the cover off . Now onto new batteries
Best version on RUclips. Nice work!
Awesome comment; I appreciate it. Thank you for commenting!
Thank you. Straight to the point. No wasted time in this video. Well done.
Thank you; I appreciate your positive comment! And, You're welcome.

Was just perfect. Not too long. Short and sweet and easy. Thankyou
You're welcome. I'm glad the video was quick and informative for you. Thank you for commenting!
Thank you for such clarity and demonstration💙 With your video, it was a job training with success👍
Excellent! Helping others acheive success was/is my intention. Thank you for your uplifting comment!
Good job! Thank you, I watched another guy that took forever to explain what you did it a few minutes.
Great! Thank you for commenting!
Thanks for the instructions that, for whatever reason, are not included in the guide.
It does seem odd that the instructions really don't detail how to open the thermostat. Thank you for commenting!
it was EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND FAST!!! Thank you so much you're the best!!!
THE PEOPLE Thank you for your very positive comments, and subscription!
isntajerk you got it Brother! 👍✊
Excellent!! Quick and easy, thank you!!😁👍🏽
Deborah Parker Thank you! I'm glad the video was helpful.
The best way I found to open the thermostat is using a small, thin screwdriver to pry it open at the bottom corners. There are small slots underneath to fit the screwdriver tip into. Do it carefully.
While looking for the small slots, it occurred to me that there are a
few different ways in which a dinner fork could be used to increase
leverage, in case somebody's fingers can't separate the face plate from
the backing plate. And one neat thing about the dinner fork is that it,
like fingers, can remain entirely outside of the thermostat, while using
it to pry the thermostat open. Thank you for helping me to provide
alternatives which might be used to increase leverage.
Nic.e simple quick instructions... worked like a charm. Thank you
mostlylol Thank you for your very positive comment. Best wishes!
Very clear and right to the point
Thank you a lot
Thank you for your kind words.
If you’re having trouble with getting it to open look at the bottom part at 2:19. It’s kind of semi circular. You can place one finger securely there and use your opposite hand to pull it open from the bottom. Right in the center.
Nice! Thank you for commenting!
Excellent work. I am having an issue with the faceplate fully clicking shut. It closes and engages, but not all the way. I did see a bit of corrosion on lower pins and am wondering if cleaning those might help. Any ideas?
THIS WORKED. Thank you!!!!!
You're welcome. Thank you for commenting!
Thanks, Frank! I did exactly what you said- wiggle left, wiggle right, wiggle left, wiggle right, wiggle left. Sure enough, it popped right off.
Annie Excellent! I'm glad the video was helpful. Best wishes!
Nice job! I hope to accomplish with your helpful instructions.
Thank you. Good luck. And, those AAA batteries should be alkaline batteries!
Worked perfectly thanks!
You're welcome. Thank you for your positive feedback!
Thank you. We have to pull the batteries to reset the unit.
I hope the video was helpful. Thank you for your comment.
isntajerk Iit worked! After a reset I was able to actually control the unit. No presets dictating the show. Now the HVAC is shut down and I am not hemorrhaging money to the electric company.
Great! I've not had issues with presets. But, from what you're describing, it sounds like temporarily pulling the batteries, then replacing them, gave you greater control than whatever presets had been controlling your HVAC system. Thank you for commenting about this benefit of knowing how to remove and replace the batteries. Happy trails!
Thank you! Very easy.
I'm glad to have helped. Thank you for your kind comments.
Just what I needed!
Excellent. Thank you for commenting!
Thank you so much, this really helped
Haris Vukovic Thank you! I'm glad the video was helpful.
nice, thank you for the upload......
You're welcome. Thank you for the comment!
These directions were great but when I did them, there was a jelly-like substance around and in some of the receptors. Is that a concern?
I'm thinking that the jelly-like stuff is clear. If so, then it's most-likely dielectric grease, which isn't a concern.
@@isntajerk yes it is, thanks!!
What if the jelly like substance is yellow??
@@raph2theuniverse Chances are the yellow jelly-like substance is a bulb grease with properties very similar to dielectric bulb grease. In the following link, you can find people discussing electrical components, and bulb grease. I don't advocate either of the bulb greases for a typical thermostat application; to me they're messier than they're worth, for a home thermostat. Electrical components in cars, however, because cars drive though many types of weather, get much benefit from such greases. www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/1757184/Re:_pro_and_con_with_bulb_grea
Most helpful thank you 😊
You're welcome. I'm glad the video was helpfu. Thank you for commenting!
Thanks for the help.
Thank YOU for the kind comment!
@@isntajerk I had to come back to this video for help. 😂 Little did you know it would be going on 6+ years strong, helping generations of apartment dwellers.
@@RiRyn27 Thank you for re-commenting! I'm always glad to find out the video has been helpful.
Thanks
You're welcome.
I changed the batteries but my display is still blank. I checked the circuit breaker but everything is normal. What should I do now?
This model of thermostat uses the two alkaline AAA batteries to power its display; power from the circuit breaker shouldn't be needed to power the display. So, if the display is still blank, even with replacement batteries, chances are: The display isn't receiving sufficient power. It may be that the replacement batteries aren't powerful. It may be that there is debris or oxidation on the contacts, as was remedied in the second-half of this video: ruclips.net/video/L4VFu5FxLf4/видео.html . It may also be that the display unit isn't making proper contact with the thermostat assembly. If you decide to experiment with separating the faceplate from the thermostat assembly, I'd suggest ensuring that your workspace is clean, sufficiently soft, large, and comfortable for you to work at, so that when the pieces fall out of the assembly, they won't fall far, nor hit hard, as they drop onto your workspace. Alternatively, you might try calling Honeywell Customer Assistance. The number which my Quick Installation Guide recommends is 1-800-468-1502. Best wishes.

isntajerk - Thanks for the advice! It turned out the replacement batteries were just duds! Thanks for all the info. :)
My thermostat suddenly stopped working. I walked by it and it was off. I changed the batteries and I still can't get the thermostat to light up. I have this exact model you have in the video. Can you help!!?
I'm reading old comments. I hope you found an agreeable solution.
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Thank you💞
Cheryll B Thank you for your Thank You!
It helps me a lot. 😊truly appreciate your effort to upload this vid.❤
can you do a video on the wiring for it i have 6 wires and the air isnt cool when it says cool on
Mystic Hero Thank you for requesting a video about thermostat wiring. I'm more of a tinker or Do-It-Yourselfer, than a Heating & Cooling professional. And, thermostat wiring can vary considerably, depending on things like different systems. So, such a video would likely carry considerable confusion, along with helping some people. Your best bet is probably to contact Honeywell at 1-800-468-1502 for wiring assistance, the number recommended in the Quick Installation Guide which came with the thermostat in the video.
isntajerk i did call them but i can put on hold for 30 min and i quit, btw i got the wiring right 👍
Mystic Hero Congratulations on figuring out the wiring issue!
This is my model. Which plate do i remove? The reason is that i noticed that the entire plate attached to the wall seems somewhat detached? I was afraid to pull it all the way off thinking it might break something or do just pull the outerplate off with some tool? Thanks.

I've looked at the photos in this comment, and I'm unfamiliar with the model you've photographed. The Quick Installation Guide which was packaged with my thermostat lists 1-800-468-1502 as Honeywell's Customer Care phone number. Hopefully this phone number can help as you try to figure out how to work with your thermostat.
Junk , with overseas help desk .
I'm reading old comments. I hope you found an agreeable solution.
After handyman installed this thermostat, he showed me how to replace the batteries without all that wiggling corners...just hold the bottom (because top is hinged) corners and pull. Then replace by hooking to the top hinge and press (once) back into place. Much simpler and quicker than this YT.
Sometimes, simple is good. Thanks for commenting.
Thanks, great job
Thank you for commenting!
Wow. Easy step by step. It worked! Thanks!
You're welcome! Thank you for commenting!
Mine is the same model, but I still can't get the face plate off! The backing plate just wants to pull away from the wall, no matter how gently I try to do this. It's winter and I have no heat! :(
Hi, I hope you found a solution which enabled you to get some heat working. But, in case you still haven't gained access to the batteries for your thermostat, the video at ruclips.net/video/mtm8UAV7TZE/видео.html might provide a helpful strategy.
Thanks! You were straight to the point!! I just changed the batteries.
Thank you. Concise and clear
Thank you for your kind words!
Thank you for sharing this info. You made it so easy to remove the cover, I can't thank you enough!!!!!
