The heater fires up fine on gas then after 5/10 mins starts to cut out and in every 15 seconds, then red light starts flashing. Any suggestions would be much
appreciated.

Could well be gas supply problems, choked regulator?

Yes or a dodgy thermostat

Cooker and fridge working fine on gas

They use a lot less gas than the heater so a choked regulator may still be able to supply them . How long is it before you can fire up the heater again after a failure?

Hi I usually leave it for 30 mins before trying again and the same thing happens

 

[Pow210]

The gas is LPG

 

[Pow210]

Thanks I'll check the regulater.

Wind?

I know they don't normally get affected bit it is blustery out tonight.

How did you get on last night or did you freeze?

 

[pseward152]

I had same problem this was solved by changing the gas bottle apparently the heating demands more gas than was being delivered by my very low gas bottle

Where& when did you last fill up with LPG? If outside the UK you probably had a butane & propane mix, the propane will gas of first leaving butane. Combi's don't like butane can't get enough gas flow also if temp below 10 deg no chance with a Conmbi on butane.

i assume the OP got this resolved, its always nice to get these threads nicely tied up with a 'this fixed it' resolution.....like a nice help desk system....., lol....

from scanning a few similar threads, it looks like the flashing red light on Truma devices means poor 12v supply, while continuous red light is usually a gas issue.....

If you have a CP plus controller you get an error code and not all of them are listed in the instructions, not very helpful.

At the risk of making myself unpopular - did you remove the flue cover from the outsider wall of your motorhome. I am sure you would have but just in case. If left on it will work a while then die

 

[Lenny HB]

Combi's don't have a flue cover.

Ah, I stand corrected, still back in the Stone Age here! When I retire and update a new world awaits. Thank you
