truma combi 6e help!!

[dunnah01]

After spilling a litre of washing up liquid all over the water and heater control panel dials and other bits there's not power to the the controls. No heating and no hot water. I've found 12v either side of the truma Combi 6E PCB panel fuse but no power at the controls - help!! It's bloomin cold tbh

I know not much, but I think maybe the liquid has screwed the electrics? Hope you get sorted, but this will bump the thread anyway!

 

[Winger]

Another bump for you

Tried to find a wiring diagram for the Truma controls but drew a blank. Has anybody seen one online - it's a Combi 6e circa 2010 with two dials

Thanks very much though

Maybe a good excuse for a proper snuggle up tonight

Truma Combi 6E - No lights on

Hi. Wondered if I could request some help from you all in case you've seen this issue before. We have a Bessacarr E560 2010 with a Truma 6E installed. Its worked faultlessly until a few weeks ago on a weekend trip when the control panel showed no lights (green, red or yellow) and obviously...

It might help if you said what van you have and a few pics of where you had the spill

I think I've tried all of these but I'll do a bit more digging tomorrow - I need to pull the kitchen apart to get at the Truma boiler board's so not a job for just now. Couldn't see any LEDs flashing and the hook up orange light isn't on even though everything else is working fine on hook up (especially the little fan heater we bought today for some heating)

dunnah01. I've just done a long search for wiring diagrams, and other than schematic diagrams of the Combi 6e itself, I couldn't find any.

Good luck,

It's a 2011 Rapido 7065+ the spill was in s cupboard over the sink but the washing up liquid spent half a day coating the back of several control switches and working it's way down to the floor. I've cleaned up as much if the green slime and a could reach and also cleaned all the switches and contacts. All the other bits work now, 240v plug, 12V socket, gas solenoid

& light switch but heater controls are dead.
Part way through looking at wiring hence the mess

Thankyou so much for taking the time to search - much appreciated

The cable for the two controls at the base of the photo, look as if they might have push fit multi pin connectors to them. Have you been able to see how they are connected to the cables?

Cheers,

Jock.

Yeah, they're sort of 6 pin telephone connectors. Had to pull them all out and clean the green gunge out of them. I suspect the controls and boards are toast but a bit of Hercule Poirot before I look at the feasibility of an upgrade to a i-Net type control system may save me a fortune

Probably the salt in the washing up liquid has done the damage.
Take the controls apart and clean throughly in distilled water.

 

[Hippy]

Try contacting Truma by phone. I rang them on Tuesday morning about a problem with my 4E. They answered straight away and were very helpful.

 

[ericroy]

Might have a couple of spare controls in my “box of bits” following an upgrade to the CPlus panel last year. Although mine is a 4e, I believe the controls are the same?

 

[dunnah01]

A bit of an update. Found a company locally that tests and repairs Truma PCBs:
A&R Electronics
Phoned at 9.30 and managed to have the board and controls to them for 11.00. Testing showed the PCB to be fine (Phew) but the controls are doing odd things.
I put everything back together in the van and after more cleaning I got a bit of life to record some flashing codes but dead again now. Ericroy expect a pm

Truma also got back to me to say send in the boards and controllers and they will test them for free - more good service.

Thanks all for help so far

Just to close this out - a visit to funster Ericroy for two replacement controllers and we now have a working boiler. Nice 'n toasty last night and had the first hot shower for a week (so probably didn't really need one )
Thanks to Eric and this great forum

It was great to meet Andy and Nicky - even though the lock down meant we couldn’t be as sociable as we would have liked. Delighted that my tendency to “hoard” has had a very positive outcome for a fellow funster. The “beer tokens” in exchange were embarrassingly kind!
