Thank-you for a safe, simple and idiot-proof explanation and clear video. Much appreciated.

[@TheMotorhomeMan]

You're welcome! Data 👍

[@annegallacher4992]

Thank you so much for this. My husband has spent ages trying to work out why the fire wasn’t working on gas. Who would have thought it was as simple as a battery!

[@TheMotorhomeMan]

Glad I could help! 👍

[@RHarris-007]

yeah, I was looking at my fuse box yet no blown fuses lol

[@JanuszSkonieczny]

You are a life saver. I was about take the whole caravan to the service across town. This is the kind of knowledge that is buried deep in the manual. A manual that you no longer have :D

[@TheMotorhomeMan]

Your welcome Janus 👍

[@screwdriver32]

Found this video after a panic with my heater failing, was going to take it to a garage but after seeing this, Bingo we have heat again Thank you very much for the useful information.

[@TheMotorhomeMan]

Glad I was of some help Daniel

[@motorhomownerdan]

Ideal, panicked when the radiator wasn't working, very happy to see this was just a simple dead battery. It's not even taken 5 minutes, although getting the cover back on was a little fiddly! Thank you!!

[@TheMotorhomeMan]

Thanks for watching & taking the time to comment Dan!👍

Excellent video, had read about this battery in the autotrail book when we bought the van, but had forgotten! Good to see how toe remove tne surround and even better to see that you can replace the battery when the surround is still in place.😉

[@TheMotorhomeMan]

Glad to help Shelly 👍

[@avishag7739]

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!

[@TheMotorhomeMan]

Glad it helped Avishag 👍👍👍

[@barryn5831]

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]

There should be 12 volts Barry

[@olliemedsy]

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]

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.

Great video, I have changed the igniter box but the fire still doesn't ignite? I can't hear any clicking either? Any ideas?

[@dean5870]

I changed the battery but not hearing any ignition. Before I order a new ignition box. Should I smell gas during this process of attempting to ignite as I can’t hear or smell anything. Will the ignition not work if there is no gas fees. Not sure if there is an isolator I’m missing somewhere

Thank you for the tip on how to change the battery. My wife and I are on vacation in Austria, and it has been about 5-6 degrees in the night. And the heater didn’t work ☹️. I just changed the battery by opening the box at the bottom and now the heater is working🤗

[@HistoryonYouTube]

I had to do this more than seven years ago and it took me ages. I thought it ridiculous that I had to take the front of to change the battery, I did not realise that it was so easy!

[@TheMotorhomeMan]

Its never easy untill you know how Historyonyoutube 😃

[@HistoryonYouTube]

@@TheMotorhomeMan It is probably just me, I am useless at doing anything with my hands!

[@captainslocum]

Thanks for a really useful video. I would never have had the courage to just yank the front off without knowing how it fitted. Can you do a video on servicing the fridge as well? Or is that too technical? Is there a battery in that as well? My son's MH Dometic fridge, RM4271, electronic ignition,same as mine, stopped working and a habitation expert fitted a new jet. Is that easy to do?
