Sitting in the van the other day, with the heater chugging away nicely, when suddenly it just stopped working.
I checked all the fuses, but couldn’t find anything remotely suspect.
Had a look at the PCB, checked both fuses, all seemed fine.
An important clue was the fact that there were no lights at all on the Control Panel.
I decided to bite the bullet and buy a new one.
Tracing an exact replacement proved difficult on places such as eBay, but managed to find one at a caravan spares shop in West Runton ; https://www.caravanaccessoryshop.co.uk/ and all seemed well until they told me the price. It was a staggering £120.
Anyway, plugged it in and Hey Presto everything back to normal again.
Just for reference, if you remove the fuses in your PCB, do it one at a time, because although they look very similar, they have different values. Fuse 1 is rated at 1.6A and Fuse 2 at 6.3A.
