MV Airo Heater not warming up

Post by middyuk »

Hi

Newbie here. Our van has one of these heaters. The control panel works fine I can set the heat to come on/change the temperature, but it’s just cold coming out? Any suggestions?

Often low voltage prevents the heaters from starting , starting the engine gives full voltage while the heater starts up , you can then turn the engine off and take steps to rectify the low voltage issue

Hi

So battery charging up. Heater turns on I can hear it blowing but the air is cold. It goes off and on (which I gather is normal). No errors are coming up on the screen, would it be a fuel line problem? Or has the heating element gone?
