Truma blown air not working . (1 Viewer)

[Swifter]

Just getting ready for a few days away . Truma heater working fine on electric and gas but no blown air . Was working fine before . Any ideas please? I am guessing a faulty dial/switch or jammed fan blades . It was working intermittently but now nothing. Not that bothered about the blown air anyway and can still use the fire but it’s nice to be able to heat up the shower room if we need to .

Maybe a spray of WD40 or such onto the spindle.

I'd check the electrical connections to the fan too

IF !! it's possible, and to do so safely, with the controls set calling for heating, give the fan a flick with something in the direction of it's normal rotation.
You may be able to hear a solenoid clicking when it's instructing the fan to run. If that doesn't work with power OFF feel for any resistance to the fan, it should spin up easily. If it feels stiff, the bearings are dry, or knackered. If it's spins easily, it could a kaput fan assembly, or as already mentioned, the fault lies else where. How good are you with a multimeter?

With the older systems, it is common for the fan motor to fail. The early ones with a "fire" the fan is mounted on the back, often accessed below the false floor in a wardrobe

We needed to replace ours when we had the Tracker, it's expensive... about £230! Simple enough job to unplug and bolt off/on. The biggest obstacle is that TEB 2 blowers are now discontinued so if you have an S3002 or S5002 heater you need a TEB 3 and an adaptor plate.

Resolved the problem. Same as the problem I had with the boiler on gas not lighting .
Again it’s down to poor manufacturing/ installations by Swift .
Now I can forgive the fact they are Hull based company but I cannot turn a blind eye to the poor installations ! I presume Gadget John was on the Swift payroll before his “big break “ into being a Youtuber ?
The problem was down to some really poor connections on the block connecting the wiring loom to the control dial .
All working now .
