Having just gone away for a week with the caravan (first trip since serviced), the Alde heating thermostat seems as though it can't be working correctly?
I thought it might be because they would have done a reset at the dealer when serviced, but can't see this would have caused the issue.
My wife turned the heating to 21c in the evening and the display panel was showing the inside temperature as 29c which it clearly wasn't.
The only way I could make it start up was to go into the adjustment screen and reduce it to its maximum adjustment of minus 5c.
This took it to 24c then I turned it up to 25c to make it start up.
Had anyone else had this problem and know how to resolve it?
Also if it is a thermostat issue, is it easy to replace (presumably behind the Alde Panel)
Thanks
It has to be recalibrated I think. We have a similar problem. We haven't got round to doing it yet.There is a thermometer symbol on the control panel.
From the manual:
Recalibrate the room temperature displayed by the control panel in 0.5 °C increments. If an outdoor temperature sensor is connected, this can also be recalibrated.
Then again after 'Googling' this will not solve the problem. Its something to do with the sensor being inside the control panel.Some people have fitted another sensor.
If you look in the settings, there is a facility that allows you to correct the display temperature to that of an independent separate thermometer. This has been available for years on very old and new versions of the panel.
Sorry I can't point you in the right direction now, as at work, but there are YouTube videos that are pretty good.
Hi all , yes I went in to the adjustment panel but it only goes to a maximum of plus or minus 5 degrees. I lowered it to its maximum adjustment but it was still reading too high .
I understand the sensor is in the control panel but this can't be the issue unless it is faulty, as the temperature control has been fine since buying the caravan 2 years ago.
I have read that as the sensor is fitted in the control panel then the temperature in the cupboard immediately behind it will effect the reading.
Now that makes sense. The cupboard is immediately above a radiator, the hot air rises and enters the enclosed cupboard which makes it warmer than the air outside the cupboard.
An external sensor is the answer. The next question is..at what cost?
