- A quick video on how I fixed my 5kw diesel heater e-06 error, E 06 error can mean other things as well however my issue was the fan.
www.banggood.com/custlink/DGm... // diesel heater - Jak na to + styl
My E-06 issue turned out to be a fuel issue. The heater would switch on and run properly for about 5 mins or more then display E-06 and shut down. I pulled it apart and checked the fan was free and the sensor was spaced correctly and that was all fine. So after reading somewhere that the issue may be fuel related I checked the fuel pump and filter and noticed that the fuel filter was lower on the intake than the output side (angled downwards) and the line was lower on that side for a 6 inches or so. I cable tied it up so the line was now pretty much horizontal and its been working perfectly ever since. It apparently doesnt take much for these impulse pumps to not work and the agitation of the diesel can create air bubbles in the fuel line. Anyway what ever the issue is its now fixed (its been giving me grief for a while). So its worth checking this if this video doesn't resolve the problem. Cheers
thanks for taking time to explain another way to fix the issue..
Installing my 2nd diesel heater in our new rv. Primed it and got the code after turning it on. found your video and I had it fixed quickly with flat head screw driver, prying at 12 o’clock 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock. I’m toasty warm now. 😜 cheers.
cool.... thanks for taking time to leave success comment and the way you fixed it.. I love that heater during cold camping nights.. No more 40 pounds of blankets..(small pop up camper)just a sheet does the trick.. .... have fun rving .... Hopefully next year we can get out to the lake our selves..
Just to verify, you pulled the fan(with the screwdrivers) “away” from the sensor to create more gap between the magnets and that sensor? Was it scraping? Thank you.
Thanks from England. I love videos that get to the point and cure problems. Cheers mate.
thank you!.. and thanks for time to leave a positive comment..
U save me sir! I just bought one and have the same problem! Now it works perfectly! A new sub from Argentina ;D
thanks for taking time to leave a success comment..and thanks for the sub..
Thanks a million my fan was stuck fast!!!!
your welcome .. thanks for the comment...
Just fixed my error, I spent ages trying to fault find another unrelated issue with voltage - after I fixed the voltage issue I was getting E06 error as the circuit board was outside the unit whilst I was testing the unit. Didn't realise the circuit board had to be secured inside as the magnet helps regulate the fan speed.
Cheers!
yup @ 2:48 hall sensor.. if its even out a millimeter never mind out of the unit, it wont work heh.. glad you figured it out..
Cheers bruv.. Mine had this problem, all sorted now and running sweet thanks to you video,.. Good day to you
happy it helped out and thanks for taking time to post a positive comment..
Thank you for mentioning the sensor part! Hopefully that’ll help my solution
your welcome... hoppefully all goes well with your fix
Hey ty very much for an awesome explanation. You helped us alot. Appreciate!
Thanks Heather And thanks for taking time to leave a positive comment =)
Thanks so much was able to fix a heater due to this video pushing the fan loose worked
and thank you jake H for taking time to post a success comment ..
Great video, saved me as well, although you really do only have to move the fan instead of the mod you show. It's tough to move at first but it does move. They just push them on too much during assembly, need pulling back a touch.
Thank you, And thanks for taking time to post a positive comment with a fix as well..
Thanks for the diagnosis...for those who are having the problem You can fix it much easier by just pushing the fan away from the fixing a little..
Hi thanks for the share..btw I did mention that at 1:13.... regardless of which way gets somebody going again.. I find it odd they are still sending them out this way.
I use two flat steel rules to remove the fan so this video is a good fix for the 06 error as I have encountered this problem I rebuild these motors as the can be stripped down very easily to replace the bearings and brushes
thanks Peter Clancy for the comment..
Just went through the nightmare that is installing one of these. The wire crimps at the main connector were just falling right out. I ended up having to cut the connectors out and butt connect them all. I did do a test run but after installing it no longer ran and gave this E06. I found this video and then found my gan was indeed rubbing. Mine was due to the case was slightly deformed from pushing on the carpet when I tightened the unit down. For me the fix was putting a large worm gear clamp around the end. I checked the fan spun freely and it started and ran as it should. If I could do it over I wouldn’t even waste my time installing one of these. They’re built so cheaply anything could happen.
crap.. glad you figured it out.. yeah tad nervous of using it on my trailer this summer.. dunno if i will wake up running around on fire.. point is if they have issues on just the fan. quality control is not at its best.. to be trusting your life with it.
I had an E-6 Error. The fan had moved too far AWAY from the control box which has a sensor to detect the magnets in the back of the fan so it knows how fast it is spinning. I got a socket and tapped the fan in looking at the intake end so it moved towards the control box. Needs to be about 1mm but not touching or rubbing.
That fixed the problem, let me know if it helps anyone. Very simple Fix.
thanks for the share.. You don't see many people with the reverse problem its good to point that out.... and yes its Haul sensor 3:00
@@ModItBetter Yes it took me a while to find the answer. Most people have binding issues but can be either one.
Me too! This is all it needed!
I got that code. but the fan moves freely. When it first "starts up".. The fan doesn't move at all. it just throws the code without moving. fan can spin by hand. When that happens, the screen does show that it is spinning. Ideas?
same here pos.
Mine has the same problem! Did u ever figure it out?? Thx
Same issue I’m having right now. Power to the fan and it spins just fine but seems like the control board is not sending power to the fan
Hello! I tried to first remove the motherboard and spin the fan without having the motherboard mounted at all and it still making the same rubbing noise... do u think that it makes any sence to try sanding the plastic ect ect? Thanksaa
Hi ..maybe your fan is pushed up too high..and rubbing against the top instead.. I would check that.. and if so maybe you can gently tap it back down the shaft.
What about e-01 I can find my troubleshooting book. Any idea where you can download one.
drive.google.com/open?id=1j4BcpOjetqBjMaJNARsxk1I4JMRcIr7U here is a fault code picture
Thanks for your suggestions however, my E-06 isn’t scraping when I spin it with my hand. I tried to get it going by spinning it after depressing the On button and it almost kept going. But just ended up dieing again! 😢. BTW, when I spin it by hand AFTER depressing the On button, then and only then do I hear a little tiny bit of scraping. As if the On button cause something to push out that wud make it scrape? Any ideas are very much appreciated. FYI, I primed it so I don’t think that’s an issue. And I’m about to purchase another motherboard cuz I read (somewhere) that helped someone.
have you tried to move the fan out just a tad anyways..and see if you still get scrapping with the power button pushing in... the hall sensor and the internal timing are extremely picky on these units.. its extremely doubtful but you might want to check to make sure you have 1 or 2 magnets as well on the fan and also check to see if the hall sensor is in place correctly .
@@ModItBetter yes. The magnets and sensor appear as they did new. As far as moving the fan goes, it doesn’t seem to want to budge and I don’t want to break anything. Especially if it’s not scraping (when not on). Is there a screw or bolt holding the fan? I don’t see how u guys are moving the thing. It’s tight on there.
Fantastic thank you great vid
why thank you very much .. and thanks for taking time to leave a positive comment..
I've had it where the fan moved during shipping I assume. I just moved it over a little with a screwdriver. It's just pressed onto the shaft.
thanks for the share.. surprising they still be sent this way..
@@ModItBetter one drop during shipping...
I have one just like that since last year and had that code E-06 before and it was the fan but now I got the same code but the fun is spinning fine ,could there be something else?? It goes on for just a second and shots off please let me know thank you
I've got the error when i don't prime it..or bad fuel flow.. .. Lid is off or something blocking any of the ports. can also be the magnets or the sensor.. ..
bangs6996 thanks you I’ll try one of those and see what happens THANK YOU
@@marcellosantos479 Did you fix it mate? I also get E06, with the fan spinning normally and after priming the fuel pump.
The glued piece of plastic was 2mm thick other diameters don't really matter.
Hello. I got this error number, but my fan works freely. No click sounds at all. :/ This heater worked only first 5 minutes. After that I got err8 and after restart err 6... Do you have an advice for me, please?
are you priming it up by holding ok and down arrow..? .. error 6 ..pretty sure it means any abnormality's with the fan.. by a certain time the fan should be spinning at a correct speed ..if for some reason no fuel and its not burning correctly the fan will be spinning slow when it should be going at a set rate..so then you get error 6..
@@ModItBetterWhen you mentioned - I have also abnormal behavior of that priming mode. It should just turn on fuel pump it and indeed it did so before the error occured. But now it starts a fan too - the fan works on high RPM in this mod. I guess, it will be something wrong in Hall sensor... But thanks for your tips! You can see the process here: czcams.com/video/O6W0EbD2C9Q/video.html and weird fuel mod here: czcams.com/video/gcWTxEpY9L8/video.html
@@heimatcz that is weird.. have you tried it on another battery? maybe the one your using can't deliver the starting amps. doubtful but something to try..
also if the exhaust is blocked it might force the fan into a higher rpm however that does not explain why it comes on when you are priming it.
sorry no expert ..i've only really used a couple of times ,but will this summer for camping .. so hopefully i run into the same problem..
tried to google to see if there is a way to set the default settings as well.. but could not find anything on that subject..
I'll try later today as well to see what happens if the pump is disconnected as well .. just to see if i can get it to do that with a pump failure..
@@heimatcz Your videos are listed as private
Help needed please, I’ve got a CDHeater been running fine, error code E-06 coming up changed the heat sensor fuel pumping fine, gets up to temperature quite quick heater plug working fan running good then starts shutting down then E-06 comes on.
are you running with the lid closed .. nothing blocking the air or exhaust.. .. the blower section can't be blocked even a little as well . If the fan is not spinning at 100 percent at the speed its suppose to be running at it will shut down.
If the fan is rubbing even a tad as well it will cause issues. If the fan is too far away it will also cause the e6 error..
besides those.. It could be the magnets or the hal sensor..
Those are the only things I can suggest..
@@ModItBetter hi hi I’ve checked everything you have said the fan is running perfect no blockages. The only thing is it seems to get up to temperature really quick within three minutes and then shuts off. I’ve checked with my other one and that one takes about 7 -8 minutes to heat up I’ve changed the heat sensor and that seems fine
@@wattsupcarter Have you tried going into settings with pass code 1688 i believe and try setting the unit hz to a way lower setting or higher..
I believe also setting for the magnets if you have 1 or 2.. it could be it set to the wrong one.. but its been so long on that
😊

My original comment was totally wrong - I'm editing.
My exhaust pipe has a faulty ground. As in when it touches bare metal it grounds/arcs. When I disconnected the exhaust pipe from the frame it works fine. When I tried to touch the exhaust pipe to the frame when it was running it arc'd. My unit is probably faulty. This gave me a E-06 fault
thanks kevin for taking time to post/share another possibility .
@@ModItBetter edited for actual cause.
@@KevinLauscher sounds like one of your wires is stripped some where and is touching a hot wire to ground on the unit or a data wire..ect..sounds more like a sensor / data wire other wise u would get a huge spark and the thing would not power up anyways as it would be shorted.....Edited as well. re read it again and you are getting a ark.. and most likely the unit is not powering on when shorted to ground.. I would check the wires then do a simple smell test inside the unit for anything burnt up..with that ark you should be able to find another location hopefully that has also been arking
I was change tranzistor glow plug and i didnt fit hall into dedicated case.
Afer fix with this film china webasto working perfecctly
thanks for taking time to post success comment..
What’s the E10 fault please, and a cure? Thanks
check your fuel line.. ..pump, filter.. Maybe it has too much dirt or faulty pump. make sure you have proper air flow for intake and exhaust as well..
Hi, it was working for about half an hour ,it was working previously but not it’s pjaying up . It’s blowing a gale outside and I can smell fumes, so would that be a issue, back draft kinda thing? I’ve got red diesel in the tank would that be an issue? I
@@ewenb1733 It could very well be a back draft kind of thing if the exhaust is restricted... I don't think the red diesel would be a issue at all.. .if you can make a bubble in your fuel line ..and see if it moves up normally towards the unit.. .. but maybe look at blocking the wind some how as a test to see if its just that.
Hi, tried the heater again this morning , am guessing exhaust issue, filled the van with fumes , smoke detector level.... thought it was where I parked with wind but no wind this morning . LCD goes through start up process then displays E10 and shuts down.
Unsure of the bubble in airline thing or how to do it , I bought the van with the heater in it and it’s been working before! Any recommendations fir an upgrade? This is a cheap Chinese model !
What's a Diesel Heater?
Hi steve .. they are just compact heaters that use diesel as a fuel. good for camping ect....lots of people using them for van life ect because its cheap on fuel and compact..
However i have not done my own test on the true cost per hour or per day for the fuel.
I've had an E06 error when I stared my Chinese heater, I solved the problem. Take the lid off, take the electronic box of as you have. Now look under the black fan drive shaft, you will see a a piece of plastic about 2.5 inches long protruding down to the base of the unit and behind the fan. I glued a piece of plastic 2mm, on the base of the inside of the body under this plastic rod (2.5 inch part). This stopped the rubbing fan with no sanding.
Hi Andrew , thanks for taking time with a detailed alternative..
My unit has never ran longer than 15 minutes (one time only & never again)
It fails with the E-06 error & has a blue fuel pump icon on the screen. My ECU does show all of the icons on start up but the only icon on the screen when it did run, was the blue fan rotating. No icons for fuel pump, igniter or the heat range. Also, when my unit fails, the fan is running & the fuel pump only makes one click, then fails. I pulled the fuse, let it rest for 2 hours & it repeats the failure. I pulled the fuel tank & mounted it higher than the pump, made sure the pump in at 40 degrees & the fuel filter is above the pump mounted horizontal.
Still fails, with no air in the white hard line
wonder if its just wiring / bad connectors or the fuel pump is just bad. Also your running this off a car battery ect..?
also have you tried the prime setting to see what it does with the pump? It wont try to start but it will run the pump for about 4 mins or so
sorry .. one more comment... If you don't know how to prime it.. hold the ok button and the down arrow at same time. then it should say "H off" push the up arrow on keypad and it should say "H on" and the pump should start working. .. to stop it ..push the down button again
@@ModItBetter Thanks, I have an odd LCD, it has screens that I haven't deciphered yet!
07L ?
10L ?
065 ?
E-00 ?
013c ?
4c ?
P1 ?
Also, I'm unable to find the password section,, 0000 (with a small m in the upper right corner) is the closest to the -4- dashes of the Admin section that I can find.
I can't check my high pump & blower speeds nor can I check my low pump speeds & blower settings
rtE, To pair the remote,
PF setting is related to the amount of power going to the glow plug.
TO PRIME THE PUMP:
-Press the 'OK' button, & the Down arrow button at the same time,
& HOLD,,, to get the -P- prime function
after holding, the screen will change to '300'
if you continue to hold both buttons,dose pump will start & count down from '300'
To stop pump, press the 'down' arrow button
-Press the upper right 'Up' button, to start prime
-Press the lower right 'Down' button, to stop prime
I have replaced the doser pump three times because of the E-06 errors (unit will work only from the temp section, not the -10- pump section)
It runs for 32 minutes, flashes oFF, followed by the E-06 error.
I can still get the doser to prime but not run in normal start
If I let it set overnight with the power off, unit will run the next day for about 20 to 30 minutes then repeats the error
I have a new ECU & Controller ordered, so I'll try that soon
@@ModItBetter Yes, it will prime from 300 & down.
Unit will turn on, glow plug starts, unit roars then purges, followed by E-06
I just had to switch the controller from 24v to 12v. I dont know why it switched to 24v out of nowhere but it took me a week and a complete disasembly and trying of new spare parts to find that out. Hope it helps someone :)
That must of been annoying to figure out, .. Thank you for taking time to leave your fix.. That will be one of my first checks now as well..
Just unboxed mine it mine has the e06 code but wont even start
did you try to spin the fan? if it is stuck using a screwdriver ect to pry it forward a tad is a quick way to see if it will then work.
also did fuel actually make it to the unit?.. you need to access the prime setting or just keep trying couple of times until the fuel has reached it.
I get this error and an intense burnt diesel smell.
it could be because once you get the error, the unit is shutting down before its shutdown cycle that usually takes about 2-3 minutes, For example are you getting huge clouds of smoke coming out of the exhaust after the error ? If you already know you have no issues with the fan, is the lid on the unit and the intake and outtake are clear of any back pressure and same with under the unit no back pressure on the intake and exhaust? .
also are you making it to the high setting full fan before you get the error ? try to set it to high .
I also have a pinned comment from timterry8714 that explains it was the angle of his filter and pump. causing him the grief .too many air bubbles ect.
My e-6 issue was that the exhaust was connected to the chassis ground and was causing the fan to go at max Power... It's kind of weird as I thought was ok to have it grounded..
