Hi,

I'm looking for some help regarding the heating in my caravan.

I have an older caravan with a Carver Fanmaster 1800 system.

The fire works fine on gas but there is no heat from the electric side.

The flick switch lights but the elements do not heat, the fan works from the otherseparate switch ok.

I've stripped it down today and have it hooked up to electric, there is power going to the PCB live connection ( 240v ) but nothing coming out of the PCB connections to the elements.

Can anyone offer any advice.

Thank you

As you've stripped it down I presume you have found the hidden reset switch?

We have repaired many of these before if you need the controls/control board repaired.

Had the same symptoms and found the little re-set switch was the cure.
