Afternoon,
Hope someone can help.
My Airtop 2000 diesel version has now decide to blow fuses. Not the main 25amp near the black control box but my 15 amp fuse near the leisure battery. All working fine for the last few years with no problems.
I suspect that there maybe a fault within the unit itself?
And its getting cold at Rugby training!!!

Thanks
Steve

Put another fuse in and turn it on with the rheostat at the minimum, this should start the motor without the glow pin getting any current. If it blows then the problem could be the motor being short circuit or a wiring issue. If it doesn't blow and the motor runs it could be glow pin short circuit. Glow pin needs 12A at switch on dropping quickly to 8A.

HI OBG,
Thanks for the reply. I have just wired the Airtop direct to the battery with the inline fuse and it now starts slowly then stops.
It can start agin but again turns slowly then stops?
There is an MO showing in the top left of the display but no error code.
I bought this item from yourself and have had many years hassle free use.
Does it need a major service? It has been making a ticking sound for a while.
Motor?

Thanks
Steve

MO is Monday!
Bearings have worn out/seized is first thought together with debris caught in inlet fan.
What is the setup? 12 or 24v converted to 12 with a step up converter? If 2nd check that you are getting 24v at the heater.

Doh of course it's Monday. Dopey git!!

Not sure which version i bought off you. Think a 12v ??
Think it might need removing and checking if it spins by hand.

Thanks
Steve
