Coleman-Mach thermostat heat-pump lockout display

Use this when a Coleman-Mach heat-pump thermostat shows ELEC flashing, DIFF, DIFF flashing, or FLASHING GAS HEAT after repeated unmet electric-heat calls.

Owner-safe checklist

  • Record thermostat family, zone, display text, heat mode, room temperature, set point, outside temperature estimate, and how long the lockout has been active.
  • Wait through the manual-described lockout period if the RV remains safe and warm enough.
  • After lockout clears, keep the electric-heat set point within four degrees of room temperature before trying electric heat again.
  • Use normal backup heat controls during the lockout if available, and contact qualified service if lockout repeats in moderate outdoor conditions.
