The A/C-Heat Pump in my 2005 Dolphin will not start. The problem began following a power outage at the RV Park. I have replaced the thermostat, and verified the command voltages. I unplugged the RV from the electrical source and used generator power to see if that made a difference. It did not. I have written to Coleman requesting a manual, but would appreciate any input that might help solve this problem! The temperature is going to be near 100 this week! By the way, I've checked the breakers and the unit does not respond to heat request, either! The digital display and the circulation fans are working!
Thanks...

Fans run but no compressor? You have power. Check the starter capacitors in the unit. Power outage (surge) might have blown them.

We also have an '05 Dolphin model 5342 with the coleman basement AC/heatpump and would REALLY like to have a copy if you get your hands on a Coleman manual as well as instruction on how to get to the HVAC to perform regular as well as ad-hoc maintemance.

Cougarkid....It doesn't appear to be the problem, it looks like the command to start the compressor is not going out. My guess is that it's the control board. $$$$
Thank you

One more thought, if you experienced a power surge, it probably fired a circuit board.

The link provided by Fred on this thread, and this link will get you to the manuals. I will be replacing the circuit board today and just as a headsup...the current board 5635a320 has been replaced with 6535c3209. It is about half the size of the original! Wish me luck. I'm glad that I'm at a Dolphin rally with many willing and capable helpers!

By the way, Coleman was very helpful in troubleshooting and providing the new board numbers. They responded to my email quickly and sent me the following phone number: 316-832-4357
