Hi neil

the clicking sounds like the ignition continuing to work best thing is to turn off the gas and if poss unplug the lead supling power to it and give someone like arc (gary) a ring on Tel/Fax: 0115 921 3175 Mobile: 07901 544431 Email: info at arcsystems.biz

he was online a short while ago so hopefully he will spot this post

Hi

I'm a new member and new caravaner and have the same problem keeps clicking seen sparks once but no flames any advice. Please 

hi, our old tin tent is an avondale too, with a carver 2 water heater, have just looked at the user manual for it and all i can find on 'clicking' in the fault tracing section is as follows

 ' GAS OPERATION' "when switching on from cold,green light comes on and after 10 seconds the red light as well

 = when listening to the heater during this sequence a click should be heard followed by intermittent ticking for 10 seconds=

A/ air in gas supply, purge pipe by switching on and off again ,repeat as necessary, B/no gas supply =check isolation valve & bottle, C/ intake or flue obstructed = check & clear

or a click heard but no ticking or ticking but no click = poor connection at multi pin plug in wall switch or on heater = pull out & re-insert the plug.

we had a similar fault ( with out the flames) on our carver after it had been stood idle for a month or two, i followed the instructions above and after the 3rd attempt the system was working normally again and has been no trouble since, hope this helps
