furnace needs a total reset to work

Hi all, new guy here.
My furnace is a "Central Electric Furnace" Model EB15A (I am assuming this is Coleman.. if not let me know).
Its been working pretty good for last couple of years although it takes forever to heat up a cold house (separate problem maybe). Anyway we just returned from a three month trip and the thermostat was set around 60 or so the entire time. When we got back there was no display on the thermostat (Honeywell model with the digital display). I went to the furnace and tried resetting the breakers... no good. Then I turned on the fan switch at the furnace from auto to manual and it seem to run fine.. Went back to the thermostat and now there is a display. Turned the fan switch back to auto and the whole thing is working as normal again. In the last two days this problem has popped up again twice and I have to reset the breakers and cycle the fan for it to starting working again. Any ideas? thanks
