  • @avishag7739
    @avishag7739 Před 3 lety

    Thanks for the video! I had another problem: the ignitor was working but I couldn't turn the knob. The rod was buckled because someone probably pushed it too hard. When opening the lid I could see that the rod is colliding in the housing when trying to turn. I took pliers and carefully bent it to be straight(ish) again. Now it's working! Thanks for explaining so well about the assembly and mechanics, it helped a lot!

    Great video, very well explained.Keep em coming.
    (Minor point at 3:46 & 4.04 you call the cable 12v power supply. On my unit there is no 12volts, it is just a pair of switch wires that activate the ignition unit)

    • @TheMotorhomeMan
      @TheMotorhomeMan  Před 3 lety

      There should be 12 volts Barry

    • @olliemedsy
      @olliemedsy Před 2 lety

      He says that that is for blowing air. My fan dial is located to the side of the heater and not on it so I assume that's why I don't have one either.

    • @tomindia3058
      @tomindia3058 Před rokem +1

      The igniter unit has no 12V power supply. It is a micro-switch to switch the auto-igniter unit on when the gas switch is rotated. If you want to check that's OK, just do a continuity test, which should activate when you press down, and slighlty rotate the gas fire know to ignite the fire.
      The igniter is powered by the 1.5V battery, hence why many people have the issues they do.
      The only 12V supply on this video is the TEB blower switch shown earlier when removing the fire surround.
