4. Installation and Setup
- Disconnect Power: Before beginning, ensure all power to the RV air conditioning or heat pump unit is completely disconnected at the circuit breaker or power source.
- Access Existing Switch: Carefully access the location of the existing selector switch within your RV unit. This may involve removing control panel covers or other components.
- Document Wiring: Crucial Step: Before disconnecting any wires, take clear photographs or make a detailed diagram of the existing wiring connections to the old switch. Note which wire connects to each terminal. The new switch is a direct replacement, but proper re-connection is essential.
- Remove Old Switch: Disconnect all wires from the old switch and remove it from its mounting.
- Install New Switch: Position the new Coleman 67593251 Selector Switch in the mounting location.
- Connect Wiring: Reconnect the wires to the new switch terminals exactly as documented in Step 3. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Secure Switch: Secure the new switch in place.
- Reassemble Unit: Reinstall any covers or components that were removed to access the switch.
- Restore Power: Once installation is complete and all components are securely in place, restore power to the RV unit.
- Test Operation: Test the functionality of the new selector switch through all its positions (Off, Fan, Cool, Heat, etc.) to ensure correct operation.
Note on Knob Compatibility: Some users have reported that existing control knobs may not fit snugly on the shaft of this replacement switch. If this occurs, a new knob designed for the shaft size may be required, or a suitable adapter may be needed to ensure proper fit and function.
5. Operation
The Coleman 67593251 Selector Switch controls the operational modes of your RV air conditioner or heat pump. The switch features a rotary mechanism with six distinct positions. Rotate the knob to select the desired mode:
- OFF: Disables the unit.
- FAN: Activates the fan only, circulating air without heating or cooling.
- COOL (Low/High): Engages the cooling function at different fan speeds.
- HEAT (Low/High): Engages the heating function at different fan speeds (if your unit supports heat pump functionality).
Refer to your RV unit's primary manual for specific mode descriptions and temperature control settings.
6. Maintenance
The Coleman 67593251 Selector Switch is designed for durability and typically requires minimal maintenance. However, periodic inspection is recommended:
- Visual Inspection: Periodically check the switch and its connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or loose wiring.
- Cleaning: If the switch or control panel becomes dusty, gently wipe it with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the switch.
- Knob Security: Ensure the control knob remains securely attached to the switch shaft.
WARNING: Do not attempt to disassemble the switch. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
