AC/Furnace

Just finished a nice 10 day trip with our 2014 24R and had a great time. Motorhome was nice but had a few problems that needed to be fixed along the way. Broken drawer latch that I replaced with a new one and a few other minor things. I do have one bigger problem with the AC and furnace. One morning was a bit cold so turned on the furnace which lighted and fired up just fine. Problem is after furnace strats the AC started and ran also. Dometic thermostat in furnance position but AC still ran. Glad the furnace did not start when in the AC position as most of the time we needed the AC. Anyone had a problem like this or any suggestions.
Thank You

Yes, the fan switch must be in auto. Supposedly, you can run the fan in hi/low and the ac should help distribute the heated air. The compressor won't cycle on then.

In regards to your "broken drawer latch". If you expierenced the drawer would not close, most likely you need to reset the receiver catch. Just examine the correct position on a functioning drawer, and use a screwdriver to reset the catch.

Yes, attempted to reset the latch but was broken so just picked up a new one at rv parts house and replaced. Spring had popped out and when I put it back together it did not want to stay in place. Fan in auto position and heater works as it should.
Thank You
