Hello everyone,
As the tittle says. Here's a movie of the failure happening:
What's happening: after turning on water+air heating, approx. 1 minute passes and then the red light comes on. Then I turn it off, and red light starts blinking, along with green light (which was off until now). Of course, no air from the heater vents, and water on faucets remain cold.
The manual says it's "Truma Combi 4 / 6", not sure what our exact model is -- only sure it's not the Truma 6E as it only operates on propane. Also, the manual lists a bunch of causes, see picture here (click to expand):
In the picture, I've marked in red with crosses (+) what I'm pretty sure is not the cause, and with question marks what I've questions about, to wit:
1) What is a "recirculated air intake" and where would it be located?
2) What the heck is a "EisEx" regulator heaing?
3) Could perhaps some butane in the gas mix be the responsible? The temperatures here are pretty low (certainly under 10C), and as far as I can research, it seems Chile uses a mix of butane and propane in their cylinders: https://www.lipigas.cl/hogar/gas-licuado/ (literal translation: "the liquified petrol gas (lpg) is a mixture of gases, mainly butane and propane"...
Hope someone here can help. A single night here at those temps and with no heating really makes for a miserable morning... :-(
Cheers,
-- Du.
