I hope someone can help us.

We have a Truma S3002 Ultraheat which has started clicking when it is used whilst powered by electricity and it does not produce any heat.

Sometimes it will work perfectly but then at others it starts clicking when it is switched on and releases no heat.

Would changing the temperature limiter units solve this problem?

A usual fault on the Truma is a faulty spark generator and that can make a continuous ticking noise.

We use electricity to power the fire not gas. We think it maybe the relays that are clicking but don't know how to cure it.

If it's the relays continually clicking and still no heat it sounds like one or more of the three power relays have burned-out contacts, the way to cure it is replacements. Either the expensive way, replacement relay board complete or, it's cheaper to source the relays as components and resolder the new ones into the old board.

However, getting the control board out to do the job isn't that straightforward, it lives at the back of the fire so that may involve even more expense paying a dealer/mobile engineer to do it all for you.

Have you checked the gas dial on the fire is turned completely off! We had this clicking noise and found the dial had been knocked slightly on, which then activates the spark generator.

I fitted a new board and it's the same. The voltage is a stable 240v on the monitor bought to assure it isn't low voltage. Almost seems as if the transformer doesn't hold the relays down

On the coachman pastiche 470, it's a doddle as you can get it from above after moving the fan and air pipes out of the way. 10 mins to replace.
