Yes, to change from heat to cool is done by reversing the power plug that is close to the housing. Matching the blue on the plug(as I recall) makes it cool. The red to blue makes it a heater. If it is currently heating, the unit works fine, it just needs the polarity reversed.
Good luck,
Glenn

Coleman evcon ignites but hardly any heat at vents blower motor workin constantent running
Dirty evaporator coil, dirty air filter, weak blower motor windings, weak blower motor capacitor, wrong blower speed, leaking or broken ductwork, uninsulated ductwork, gas valve pressure needs adjusting(low fire)? Might be any or all of the above.

I replaced the sequencer and limit switches on my coleman 3400-815 and I still have no heat. Fan does not come on. Not sure what else it could be. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Unit won't cool. Unit is set on is on cool, but warm air comes out. Is there a reset button on the unit ? Unit is 21 1/2 years old.
Some of those old Mach 3's have a manual reset pressure switch, but you will have to take the cover off to find it. Most manual resets have a red button to push to reset. The unit may be low on refrigerant or the condenser coil stopped up with dirt.

Your choices are another Dometic or a Coleman
I prefer the Coleman But the amount of extra cooling you will get by stepping up to a 15K unit will probability not be worth the added cost

Coleman 12-volt cooler stoped working/fan burned out
Sound like you have the newer version. These fans can be found at Radio Shack or anywhere computer parts are sold. It doesnt have to be an exact replacement. Just big enough to fit over the Cooling fins. Also make sure it's a 12 volt motor

The 5640 Coleman cooler motor runs, but unit does not cool.
This is a thermoelectric (TE) cooler. There is no gas' to replace in it's cooling system. It is possible the thermoelectric coupler has gone bad. Unfortunately Coleman does not seem to offer a replacement part. If you Google thermoelectric couplers, maybe you can find something on the web. Good Luck.

Coleman 5640 cooler
The cover on the inside just pulls off. Inside/Outside fans pull off. 2 screws to dismount motor. Unscrew leads to terminal. Most truckstops carry the motor, otherwise search for Colman 5640.
