Your wellcome. And thanks for the comments. I am glad I helped you out.

Thanks for the info. I had same problem,I replaced gasket, glow plug and pump, was about to change control unit, but found this video and I checked the sensor, made sure wires were secure and that the sensor was sitting correctly, tried to start the heater and it fired up perfect. one symptom I had before non start, was an erratic fan, changing speed up and down while running, then one day would not fire up, but fan would run continuously. anyway ordered another spare just in case. £3.33
Brilliant ..thanks for the feedback ,nice to know the video helped
Again Terry Thank you heater working normally $8 Aus EBAY very good information and easy to follow 👍👍👍(Jim)in QLD

I've just bought a campervan a few weeks back with a brand new fit in back, including one of these chinese pieces of crap night heaters,it's literally been used for 2 nights out the odd blast through night,and it's doing this cold air thing already! Twice I've come to van after work in the last week and it's been fanning away to itself with cold air,I just unplug from the harness and just re plug and it works fine when I need to use it,I will be investing in a quality night heater in due course! My heater is under the rock and roll bed so I bet it's a pig to change at arms length under there
Sorry to here that mate , but I must admit I've only had this one fault with mine ..its been really good.
Cheers m8 ours went and got sensor ur video was great to follow cheers xx
Brilliant glad it helped
@@VANFLIPPINGTASTIC gonna gonout and change mine now had it for a month but didnt have the balls to do it so ill just follow ur video and get it done xx
@@Hayes.adventures let me know how you got on and if it worked
@@VANFLIPPINGTASTIC fixed it now getting an e-06 error
@@Hayes.adventures check that the casing of the heater is not restricting the fan. Could be the fan is jammed.. that's where to look...
thank you! it's SUMMER time...i walked into my shop and to my horror...today...diesel heater blowing cold air...FOR NO REASON...(no need for it to be doing ANYTHING!!! AT ALL) yet... will try this.... this heater has provided great heat for our small shop for years...the wife will be glad to know she can paint in there...next winter again...but this was unexpected..it just started blowing cold air out of nowhere!!! like wtf? i KNOW...it's "chinese cheap crap"...but i mean...come on china...CHINA...get your SH** together! JUNK!!!!
Good luck... let me know how you get on...
@Vanflippingtastic love the simple easy to follow video thank you!
Only question is.... there are 3 pins that come out for the heater but some replacement probes you get only have 2 holes, are there certain pins they should be on? Aka the first 2 (11 1 or 1 11) it'd the last step i need to produce proper and efficient heat!
Thanks chap!
I've not seen the 2 hole probe you talk about .
Not sure how to put them on to be honest
i have multiple of these types of heaters...one is a portable...i really HOPE this works....
Fingers crossed
The sensor failed on my brand new 2kw diesel heater it gave an E09 fault and would not start, I took it out turned the ceramic sensor upside down pulled the circular plug out about 5mm and slowley pushed it back into place then reinstalled it,
it has been working fine ever since. over a month now, ive bought a spare one just in case it fails again.
dont worry about which way round the plug goes it just mesures resistance thats all.
Great .. an easy fix for you ...
Thank you
Your welcome
So I have the same problem with my heater, fitted last summer but not fully tested, at that point display was OK so I simply switched it of at my control box. Took me until now to get some diesel in the tank, so I switch it back on at control box and its blowing air intermittently and won't switch of. Question, being it was unused, never primed etc. could it be the temperature sensor has just worked it's way loss rather than broken? I guess I could just take a look but would rather get the job done in one as it's fixed in a awkward space and going to be difficult to work on.
If you have primed the unit and its getting fuel passed the pump and into the furness then its ghe temp sensor. Make sure its getting fuel first... ..
I suspect the temp sensor though..its got to be primed first .
Mine failed yesterday, the internal temperature was showing 68c so it wouldn't start thinking it was over temperature and just continued trying to cool itself down before starting. Ordered a new thermistor this morning.
Give it a try .I'm sure it will cure it .
My heater does not stop when it gets to set temperature. For example:
1) Trailer is at 14C
2) I set temperature to 20C. Heater turns on and heats
3) Trailer reaches 20C. Heater goes to minimum setting but does NOT stop
4) Trailer temperature keeps rising to 25C+, very uncomfortable.
How can we have the heater turn off or run fan alone when reach desired temperature?
These heater do not turn off and on. just turn lower unfortunately ..
Just a question is the temp sensor. A temp sensor or is it a temperature switch. Have you tested it on a multimeter for resistance on faulty one against new one to diagnose what's happened to faulty one etc. Cheers from old George. I thought it was a temp switch but not sure. ?
Hi Old George . To be honest I don't know for sure. I was told it was a temp sensor.
@@VANFLIPPINGTASTIC ok matey thanks for your reply. Happy motorhoming vanning etc.
I SAY REMOVE THE HEATER PIPE .... THIS IS NOT NECESSARY....
Hi there, I don't suppose you know what the issue is if the heater won't turn down do you? I can't find any info on this issue 🤔
Hi.
I've never come across this problem . If it was me I would be drawn towards the controller. Check the connection.
The controller senses the room temperature and adjusts the heater acordingly so it might be faulty.
Hey, thanks for responding. I did wonder if the controller wasn't sensing the temp as it's behind a cushion. However, it's always been there and the issue has just started. It's worth exploring though. Thanks 😊
@@anothercampervanchannel if your controller is set to degrees centigrade, try to change it to h1 to h6 settings ...might work
Thanks, I'll try that 😊@@VANFLIPPINGTASTIC
By the way ..I am sure I've seen you at South Gare loads of times..I'm always up there..
I live in Stocktin down the road.
Hi Terry. I need to replace mine which doesn’t have the metal plate on the end like some others. Is that what I should get? Or one with metal plate on end? Cheers for any advice.
i,m sorry i dont know what you mean by metal plate. take the temp senser out and match it up on ebay with the photos . thats all i did .
strip your down and get the senser out and match it up .
