The little lcd display panel on our Dometic B1901 roof-mounted aircon unit has only partially worked ever since we bought the MH secondhand with it ready-installed about 6 years ago now.
Some of the bits of numbers/letters/symbols don't show up properly.
We've lived with it, as you can mostly decipher what it's saying, and anyway we only every use it on aircon, full-bore fan setting, so basically we ignore the info panel and just use it's main switch to turn it on/off.
But someone the other day mentioned that you can get a replacement panel, and they are dead easy to fit, so I contacted several Dealers/Distributors to ask for a price.
Bear in mid that this is just a tiny little triangle shaped lcd screen, with a couple of terminal wires attached.
Two quotes received back so far (including postage and VAT):
Ashridge Domestic Appliance Ltd: £244.77
Leisure Spares Ltd: £363.73
Utter lunacy.
I can source a COMPLETE, BRAND NEW, fully guaranteed aircon unit from a competitor manufacturer for about £1200.
We will NOT be buying a replacement little lcd screen from Dometic.
