- Before you stip down your chinese diesel heater because of an error code check out thgis video....it may save you a lot of time and unnecessary taking your heater apart
I had error code 6 ,the fan would not even try to turn after listening to your post I gave the battery a boost and it started up first time so many thanks for your knowledge and inspiration
Glad I could help
Also had E07 error code, I have my diesel heater externally fitted, VW T5, and when checking all the connections it turned out there was moisture in the multi plug where heater and power connect. Electrician friend advised to dry the plugs with heat gun or hairdryer, put back together and see if it worked, which it did and then unplug connector smear connections with petroleum jelly, refit and then wrap the plugs with self amalgamating tape. Worked a treat and stops and moisture getting in and because I've smeared the connections with petroleum jelly and condensation that may occur won't affect the terminals.
Mine too is external and I’ve done the same sort of thing with heat bandage.
Thank you for your detailed explanation. It’s appreciated
Im so glad i watched this video!
I'm in my van... thought id put the heater on for a while and got E-03....
I do have a spare glow plug...
But just checked my leisure battery and it's 12.1 😂😂😂
Better run the engine for a while then.
Thank you sir!
Glad it helped
@@PKandL
OK...
I didn't then try the heater for a couple of days.
With good battery it still said e-03.
Today I changed the glow plug but couldn't get the atomizer out so just did the plug.
I am now priming the heater... and then trying to fire it up but it says E-03 still.
Any ideas? 🙏
Ps... It splutters a bit of smoke out the internal heat outlet when going through the priming process.
@@UK-Blue I’ve done a recent video on starting up after the summer. If you have smoke then possible a poor combustion. Make sure there’s no air bubbles or an air lock in the line. And the fuel tank breather is ok. Any slack on the fuel passing into the chamber will cause an e03. These are simple checks to do first. When I get beck I’ll check my book and try and give you a more definitive set of ideas
@@PKandL
Thank you..
So I just took the covet off..
The outlet pipe from pump to burner is empty. Fuel tank to pump line is full.
So how to bleed the outlet?
@@UK-Blue just a thought. Check the air intake at the bottom of the burner. A blockage will also cause excessive smoke and a cut out. Not telling you how to suck eggs but make sure the pipes are on the correct way around too.
i have a adjustable power supply, i upped the voltage to almost 14 volts. glo plug now much hotter. no more error codes, or soot.
I had e2, and reading thru ur comments I tried disconnecting both fuses and reconnecting, it started back up now, when I only did it with one fuse it still coded, I forgot there was two of them
So its been sorted?
Thanks I’ll recheck that but I’m sure I’ve got enough voltage… mine was working fine then all I could Smell was Diesel with no Heat, Fan still works and blows cold Air. E-10 code..then Fuel pump stopped click /working. Could it be Not igniting and or pump problem. Could I put Multimeter on pump wire to check if it’s the Pump? What’s you thoughts please 🙏
Rather odd you can smell diesel! The two combustion chambers are separate and no diesel should be in the heat exchange. It does sound like a glow plug issue. Fuel in no ignition. Hmmm. These heaters can throw multiple problems on one error code. I must admit it still sounds like an electrical error. I did a video on what’s inside a failed heater. Take a look and have a try stripping the combustion chamber down and taking a look at the heater mesh. Make sure it’s not coked up.
I’ll also go though other issues that others have experienced to see if that throws any more light on it

Very helpful sir. I just now subscribed - thank you
No, thank you
Hey there - thanks for the video! I’m getting an e-2 error code on a brand new Vevor diesel heater. This is when using it powered by a Jackery 1000 which should be spec’d to power it. It works perfectly fine when I power it via my car battery. I’m not sure what to do. Other people are running these on the same portable battery just fine. The battery is running at 13v
E-02 is an over power code. Sounds very much like that’s the case. The jackery maybe sending through a charge that’s within voltage but too high pressure. If you go into the settings on your controller you can reset the power input.
The instructions aren’t great so if you have trouble let me know. Which lcd controller do you have. I’m guessing it’s the older type which tbh is better
@@PKandL Thanks so much for the reply. I have the new one, which I think means I'm screwed haha. SInce no one seems to know how to get into the advance settings

@@PKandL Thank you brother! Your help is very much appreciated
@@mattadamsphotography hey Matt. When you press the lower left button you should scroll through some settings. When you get to a display given in htz use the down button to give the lowest reading then try firing it up

I am getting the dreaded E-03 error immediately upon turning the heater on. No fan turning or anything else - a click and immediately the E-03 error displays. The voltage going to the glow plug is 13.3V and it is a new glow plug. Hope you can help.
Lenny, I have watched dozens of videos, but can't get my controller to work or find the same scenario that all videos describe. First, I connected to 12v, and I hit the power button, the fan starts and I cet an E-02--over voltage. I have a 12v battery, but can't get the Blue controller to go to th U24, or U12, to check for 12 or 24volts in the settings...(????)
The controllers auto switch between voltages, so you don’t need to reset them. They are able to detect the voltage of your batteries.
E-02 can also be a bad earth, power surge or loose wire in the wiring loom connecting to the main carcus.
Sorry it’s so vague but there are a plethora of issues that can arrive from e-02 although they are nearly always electrical

Hi there. Thanks for helping people with their diesel heaters. I wonder if you can help? I have just installed a 2kw 12v vevor diesel heater. The pump wont prime even when I press the correct buttons on the display to prime it and when i turn the heater on the fan blows and after a few seconds cuts out and the error message 2 is displayed and the whole thing stops. I have reset it and turned everything else on to reduce the voltage as it is a newish battery but it still happens. Any ideas? Many thanks Rachel
Hello. If it won’t prime it’s most likely fuel starvation. 1st. Check there are no kinks or twists in the fuel line. Especially if it’s a long cable. The other thing which is really easy to get wrong is making sure the pump is the correct way around. If the pump is backwards it blows back to the fuel tank rather than sucks. (I set mine up like this initially)
Check for splits in the fuel line by the joints of the pump. Pipes provided can offer split so small you can hardly see but will leak air.
Try these first then get back to me and we’ll try the next stage if it doesn’t work

Are there any heaters that are better built then the vevor ones? I have issues atleast every 2 weeks with mine. I've changed the glow plug 3 times, and used 3 different mother boards, tried a bunch of different settings. Always end up with some sort of issues. Thinking I should just switch over to a small wood stove, but when it does work, it's amazing. I've been using mine in a converted enclosed trailer for the past 5 months.
The vevor ones are probably the best of the bunch. They’re a direct copy of the eberspacher the only thing is the build quality is 100 times better but 10 times the price. Tbh it sounds like wiring rather than parts. The cables are incredibly poor quality and cause 85% of all issues with the heaters. I’m using a vevor and my mate Dan has two on his van and they’ve been fine. Although we have had issues with power supply.
Good luck with your decision. Wood burners are great but lack the control of a diesel heater.

Mine smokes alot. Someone said it was do to low voltage or amps. I have four 12volt 7amp batteries connected in parallel. No error codes come in. It runs. Just smokes alot. Unit is brand new.
7amp is very low. The fuel oil isn’t burning at the correct temperature so initially I’d concur that the ampage too low to allow full combustion. I did a video on how the heater works, they’re very simplistic but need quite an oomph from the battery to start combustion. If possible wire it to a car battery of 75amp and above.
Do let me know how you get on
K
I've got a new diesel heater and it's died after 2 days. I was running it this morning on medium and it just stopped. It tries to start now but the pump will not engage. Is there a combustion system that needs to be engaged in order for the pump to receive power?
Thank you for a really good video 👍
I have a code E-17 and i cannot find anyone who has had this code. Do you know what it means?
That’s an unusual one. I’ve been through the cheat sheet compiled from everyone that’s contacted me. I have just one other e-17. That was fuel pump wiring. There is a either a short or open circuit to the pump. If using the wiring loom supplied then check for chaffing or a break in the negative wire. They aren’t the best quality in the world. Last chap removed all the cables and replaced the loom which solved the problem,
Please let me know what happens.

keep getting error code 02 on start up lots of white smoke then shuts down. Have cleaned it all out put in a new screen and glow plug and fitted a new battery checked screen is not covering small hole and it is not blocked in anyway now stumped as what to try next any help appreciated please cheers Jeff
02 is a notoriously difficult one as it normally identifies as an over voltage. Firstly go into settings and check that the system is set as 12v and your batteries are configured the same.
If you’ve white smoke from the exhaust check that there’s no water in your fuel tank. Also as a side thought check no air is getting in via your fuel lines.
I’ll have a look through my data and see if anyone else has had a similar problem.

I have the battery heater error code of E-01, which was new in September 2023 and run for about 50 hours only. Having tested the battery, all is well and fully charged. However the fan works, goes through some sort of cycle but no lobger ticks at the pump only to arrive at E-01 code. My controller will not allow me to access the secret part of the panel. Could you help?
Hi there I have been building my van over 12 months and have my heater installed I put a new line in and filled my tank switched on. It made a sound then I pressed the buttons to prime the pump but got an error code E7 and H on flashes, but nothing happens, and I can go no further any ideas.
Hi, thank you for your page. I am getting E-00. Any idea?
Hello, I'm getting an H97 error on my 2000 stc gasoline heater. Exhaust smell is also very strong and white when running. Any idea what it may be? Thanks for the video!
That’s a Webasto heater. If I’m honest I’m not 100% on those but I do know that if you’ve white smoke your unit is not burning fuel correctly. If it’s black smoke that’s a carbon build up. If that’s the case I’d strip the outer casing and remove the inner combustion chamber. There should be I’d imagine a mesh and heater plug. Give them a gentle brush and try some wd40 or similar on them. Don’t try and remove the mesh screen as you’ll need a special tool.
I’ve spoken to a friend who has one and that’s what he suggests in the first instance. Apparently it’s a common fault and easily remedied.
Do let me know how you get on.

@Off grid with Kaos and Lenny thanks for the reply! I plan to install the service kit, I'll makr sure to report back
I keep getting a e-10 error I can’t figure it out I’ve replaced the glow plug cuz I took it apart and noticed the tip of the plug was cracked and broke, I also replaced the mesh that goes around the glow plug. The burn chamber is clean as a whistle. I only run diesel through this, the fuel line total from tank to unit maybe 2 and half foot. Another issue I’m having is priming I have the red controller I ain’t been able to find others like mine but when I try to push ok and up or on and up or down I get nothing but it seems to be priming on the initial start up and there is fuel all through the line. Any ideas advise and help would be so appreciated thanks again.
Questionable quality? How about a noisy fan motor that I pulled apart, to replace bearings. One bearing od was way small and it was seated in silastic, but it didn't matter much because the id was too big, leaving the shaft to spin freely, for a while, in the bearing🤬. Didn't check the other bearing, just replaced the complete motor, helps to have a new spare heater on hand to rob, while you wait for parts.
Well that’s one I’ve not heard before. But yes. It’s hit and miss whether you get a good one or bad
@@PKandLSame heater, recently was throwing constant 08 errors, then 06 errors and finally 10s before I realised that maybe the roaring noise wasn't the fan, and the smell of diesel was trying to tell me something. Upshot, the main casing bolts had come loose, bit of a nip up and all codes disappeared and heater operating as designed, for the moment. I thought maybe I didn't tighten them properly when I changed fan motors, but then realised that was a winter and 600 litres of diesel ago.
Hi. I have E-4 code as I have used my caravan for twelve months. Batteries are 13.2 volts. Must I replace the fuel pump or can it be repaired? Thanks Neil
Thanks for getting in touch. E04 is quite complex as it relates to the pump but can be caused by numerous things. Your battery is at 13v+ but what you need to do is put the battery under load then church the voltage. Then check the wiring lion entering the pump itself. Remove the cable check for corrosion clean then refit.
Finally if this hasn’t cured the issue check the fuel line to make sure there are no air bubbles. The fuel line supplied is not great and will perish. Particularly at the point where the line attaches to the pump. Tiny almost invisible splits will cause air to leak into the fuel. This will give you e04.
Just as a thought make sure the fuel line isn’t being pinched either.
Try that first and let me know how you get on.

@@PKandL
What voltage should I receive at the connector? I have turned every appliance on so now check voltage with multimeter? I will check for voltage drop? I’ve cleaned the connector with electrical solvent. The fuel lines are inside clear protective hoses. The unit operates but only after priming. Even after running for 2 hours once stopped cooled down I have to prime again. 1-2 primes and off it goes again. What next? Thanks Neil
@@user-sx2pk1cy1r voltage needs to be around 12.4v under load. Although they can be temperamental.
If you need to prime each time you start up then you’ve a leak in the fuel line. Either in the line, the fuel line supplied are strangely not diesel rated!! The smallest split will cause an air leak which will require priming. Or… you’ve got a partial vacuum in the fuel tank which is pulling the diesel back to the tank! Leaving the fuel lines empty.
If you have to prime each time then it’s air in the line. Try leaving the fuel cap off between running the heater. If it doesn’t require priming it’s the fuel tank.
Alternatively, the fuel pump itself could be leaking air but that’s a last resort operation as that’s quite unusual.
Do let me know what happens.
Regards

I get E2 error. Voltage too high. I can,t get my controller to look at the setting for Hz, volts or anything. My controller has the lower left button as OK. Top left the gear icon and up down on the right with on off button in center. Says voltage is too high. Thanks for your help. Tom
Hey Tom. If the battery is above 13.4v it will shut down, particularly with new batteries. Ignore the manual that says 14.2v as the pcb is set much lower. Very common fault especially if you’ve new heater or batteries
Power another source off your batteries simultaneously and see if that helps. If not get back to me and we will go through the next step.

@@PKandL Hi there, many thanks,
I have a code 03 glow plug,how do u get it out
I'm having the same error Code E2. I have hooked the heater up to a 12 motorcycle battery and it is putting out 12.3 V. , didn't work. I hooked the battery up to a charger but it still didn't work, same error. Today I'll try 2 other batteries, one that is at 12.7 volts a boat battery and another that is presently in my truck. Can I bypass this code sensor?
As far as I’m aware you can’t bypass the codes. E-2 is predominately an over voltage coding. Have you been into the settings and checked the voltage input values?
Which unit are you using? KW? Is it pre-loomed?
K
@@PKandL I haven't checked the voltage as I'm of the understanding it only has a 12 and 24v settings. So and E2 error should not be possible if it's set at 24V. And there is the fact that the instructions are useless if one can even read them.
As for the kind? I bought it from Venor and don't know the specs. What do you mean pre-loomed?
@@t3-tofinototuk.333 yeh the instructions aren’t great are they. I’ contacted the manufacturer about error codes as there is not one definitive answer to each error. The pcb should auto set the voltage but it is known that particularly on new machines they stick. This can be checked in the system operating program. It’s a bugger to find. Some units are supplied with wiring looms pre made so it’s a case of plug in and go. Some units are supplied with a pretty flimsy power cable. Fit this directly to the battery rather than a fuse box. It should have an inline fuse so it’s ok to do it. If you have some better quality single core you can try replacing that. Had a chap recently with an e-02 where the live cable was faulty and gave a fluctuating power supply. Lots to check I’m afraid but do let me know what your doing and hopefully we’ll get it sorted
@@PKandL Ok, here is what has conspired. I again hooked the motorcycle battery up to my charger. However this time I set the charger on 12A rather than 2A. Checking the controller the Voltage read 14 and 13V when I was running the pump to prime the system. Previously the controller showed 12 and 11V respectively. Not knowing what else to do I just tried as is and it started up with no E2 error.. I turned the charger from 12A to 2A and back a number times and noted a small drop in the fan speed but everything still ran. I'm going to see if it will work on Auto and set the temp in the hopes it will slow down as it hits that temperature. Otherwise I'll go back to manual mode for temp setting. Thanks for the ideas.

Hello, I am also getting the E-2 fault on the newer heater type. I have recently converted my van and have had the heater running happily for the past couple of weeks. Then suddenly the E-2 fault. Any advice or will it need replacing? Many thanks!
Hello. E-02 error codes are electrical supply faults. There’s quite a number of them too. Normally it’s a power over supply, this can be caused by the batteries with a power output of more than 13.7v. In theory the heater should work up to 14.6v but the wire in side the wiring loom is particularly thin and can short out if over voltaged. These wire were often not copper but cheap zinc wires which has a very low threshold. The answer firstly is check the battery power voltage. If you have multiple batteries connected then try disconnecting them all and power off one battery. If this works it’s an over voltage error for sure. Also check all your connections. A loose earth or positive will give an e-02 error code. And remember to pop the fuse on the earth line for a few seconds as this will reset the pcb to default and it may clear the error.
Let me know how you get on.
K&L
Oh! You shouldn’t need to replace the unit for an e-02
Hello! Sorry for the late reply and thank you for the comments. Turns out it was the voltage being too low. Someone mentioned that it could be that and recommended ti check by pressing ‘ok’ twice when you turn the heater on and then watching the voltage. Mine dropped steadily and when it got below 9v would stop and flag the error. I replaced the plug and wired straight ti the battery. This has sort of helped but the voltage still drops pretty low so I am going to check another connection where I extended the power cable next. Many thanks,
Pieter
hi i had a code that no one knows of on my heater u003, turns out its a fault on the wireing loom
Wiring loom issues are unbelivebly common, mainly down to poor quality componants sadly
I have e07 code. I have 13.49v ive swapped motherboard and display screen .cut out and soldered main block connector still no better. ? Only 3 months old, only worked occasionally from new.
Have you checked the battery voltage whilst under load. That’s the first thing to check. Next the connection between the power cable and the heater body itself check the pins and reseat if necessary. e07 is generally electrical. As you say it’s occasionally worked it does sound very much like electrical supply. If you’ve changed the controller circuit board then it really has to be the wiring loom or as mentioned voltage drop whilst under load. Let me know if you’ve tried these things. I’ll look through my list of solutions provided by subscribers to see if there’s anything else that could cause it
@PKandL I have cut out the big block connector and soldered them, I can't test voltage under load as it doesn't get that far but I will try fitting a new power cable direct to the battery , same goes for the negative.

Hi. E-03 is a drain issue. Check that there is no blockages in both the air intake to the bottom of the heater and in the fuel lines. (Not pinched)

hello I have a brand new vevor heater it worked once now its got err code 10 any ideas cheers
Hi Trevor. The manual doesnt have an e-0-10 error code for trouble shooting! It is an ignition error. The manufacturer suggests it can be a carboon build up in the combustion chamber but this is clearly not the case. But... It can be one of serveral things. 1st check the fuel line has no kinks or cracks around the pump area. If using the green pipe supplied it can often split with the minutest hole allowing air to form a blockage. But it could be fuel starvation 2nd make sure the positive cable and earth wire are securely fixed and with good connection. Lastly check the air intake at the bottom of the unit is clear. water sometimes gets trapped inside this tube and this will starve the combustion chamber,. Make sure there are no foreign bodies inside including paper or even dog hair that can get sucked in.
Give them a try and hopefully itll sort it. if not let e know. ive included a link to a previous video I made but it doesnt include or the miriad of possible issues.

Check the battery voltage whilst under load. The draw from the battery may also be too high for the wiring! I know it sounds a bit daft but the quality of the wiring isnt the greatest. Let me know how you got on
error 07 wiring all looks good so I am stumped. A ny ideas
Sorry for the delay in responding. 07 can be quite a few things. But… if you’re able to power up check the draw from you’re batteries. If it’s too low it’ll kick out a 07 code. Use a volt meter direct rather than an lcd display on your control panel. This can sometimes give a false reading
Have you sorted it? If so what did you do to rectify?
My diesel just shut down and there was no error code
That is very odd. Do you have an lcd display?
I’m guessing it’s a low voltage error as it may not be able to power up the display. If that’s true your battery is unbelievably low which tbh I find hard to believe.
