Hi Sally47. Can you say who the boiler is made by as that may help with guidance?

Truma heater not working on electric

we have just had the first habitation check on our Bailey 620 Approach. All's well save for the heating working on gas only. Any idea of why this should hapen and the likely cost of repairing. We are going away in the van next week to France and wndered whether it could be repaired there?

I have the same problem. Mine is a Truma Combi and I accidentally turned the mains on when drained down and think I have blow the 10amp slow fuse which is an absolute pain to get to due to the way Auto-sleeper have installed the heater in my motorhome. Have been running on gas while I work out how to get access to the boiler which is under the wardrobe and only access is via the drawer opening below!

Not sure why you would think the fuse has blown. These boilers are designed to run empty.

I am going by the error code on the display unit.

There is an overheat 230v protection reset button under the wiring cover of the Truma Combi that may need pressing.

Ah a newer model than mine. I found my elements had failed overnight (1 had possibly failed before) when I woke to find there was no electric coming in. Thinking I was the bollard I checked but it was my unit had tripped. Would then only work on Gas (kept tripping when 230V selected). Stripped at home to find both elements had failed.

I have tried that but as the heater motherboard is facing away from me at arms length through a drawer, it is difficult to see anything except by holding a mirror on a clamp and hoping. I'm planning on making an access hatch in the floor of the wardrobe so I can actually see and access the unit properly.

My Truma C3402 stopped heating water on Hook-up, on my boiler the element is a rubber band wrapped around the cylinder.
I followed this YouTube video


In the video the chap had a thermal fuse blown but mine was ok but it was thermal switch fault on mine.
Cost me £6 and £4.50 of that was postage
