RVComfort.ZC thermostat buttons not working

    I've got a 2016 Discovery 40E with a RVComfort.ZC thermostat that has those rubbery buttons. I tried turning the furnace on this morning and the buttons refused to operate - I could press them, but nothing happened. Eventually, and after pulling the fuse for a few seconds, it came to life and I was able to get the zone 1 furnace turned on, but only after mashing the buttons for a while. I finally managed to get zone 2 on, but I cannot set the temperature. Now, I cannot even turn the system off.

    Is this device "user serviceable"? Can I pop it off a wire-harness, open it, and clean some contacts? Or do I need to replace it?

    After some poking around, I found this replacement: "Coleman RV Comfort Multi Zone Replacement", there seems to be mixed reviews.

    (I'm not plugging that product, I just need a fix and quick.)

    So no responses - although the thermostat never achieved 100% performance, as it warmed up, the buttons became more responsive and we were able to control the gas furnaces and one of the heat pumps. I found the micro-air thermostat, I'll get one in about a week. If I can find tech specs about the control wires, I might build my own using a Wifi enabled MCU.

    We had that thermostat and it also quit working. It's my understanding there isn't a replaced for it.

    We did replace with the Micro-Air and it's great.  

    Some of the Micro-Air thermostats are plug and play.  It depends on the year and model Fleetwood you have.

    We do have an older Dometic Thermostat that may work for you.  This is a link to a photo of the one we have. https://photos.app.goo.gl/2dmzsNs9N4trYSGh9

    I feel your pain without thermostat controls. If you'll email me at murph757032gmail.com I'll send my phone number so we can talk.
