diesel heater users....... 20amp fuse holder problem
« on: June 16, 2020, 04:19:11 pm »
my heater wouldnt fire up this morning so i changed the 20amp fuse and it still didnt fire up(red light goes off after 30 seconds or so,if that).....i need to change this fuse holder i think as it has melted a bit inside and i think thats why my heaters not working......ive changed the fuse 3 times now in 2 and a half years and its always solved the problem....

i reset the heater by taking the fuse out while the controller and heater setting ON......then i turned off the controller,refitted the fuse and turned the controller back on.....the heater did actually start its cycle for 30 seconds or so then died on me(red light went out)......

where can i buy these fuse holders from?i guess ill have to disconnect my batteries from my system when i fit a new one...im convinced this is where my problem lies........

You’ll need to get one from Oliver it’ll be wired to the fuse holder from inside.

Normally too much current draw  or the wire guage isn’t big enough .

Daz , have you had it serviced or any new parts since new , out of interest?

Almost sounds to me like the heater needs cleaning out/ de coking if it’s not blowing the fuse.
Prob looking at two hours of windowcleaners wages to service (£200 +).

If fitting a new fuse holder and fuse doesn't solve the problem I'll get it serviced.....
