Truma Trumatic S 3002
Hi All,
I have just replaced my Truma Trumatic S 3002(gas only) with a 3002 with the trumavent fan and 240 volt element. The ignition is working but i cannot get it to light. I assume the gas isn't getting through. Any thoughts ? I thought perhaps an air block or similar. Any ideas are more than welcome.
Thank you in anticipation of your replies.

Today I got the pilot light to ignite after holding the control knob down for four and a half minutes. When I release it, it goes out, This to me would suggest the thermocoupling is at fault but apparently this is very unlikely on this model. So does anybody have any suggestions ? It's very strange as last week it was working fine in the caravan it came out of.

It sounds as if you might have low pressure at the burner, either because of an obstruction in the gas feed to the heater, or because the pressure in your system generally is low.
I gather this is a second-hand heater; is it rated to work at 30mb? (assuming you have a standard bulkhead regulator). Be aware that some European countries use/used 50mb, and appliances may not work at 30mb. Another possibility is that the thermocouple has become dislodged in the process of transferring the heater, or some crud has fallen on the burner.
If you are sure the pilot flame is adequate, and the thermocouple is getting hot, then check the electrical connection at the gas valve end.

Hi All,
Quick update, I resorted to paying someone who knows there stuff ! Well worth the £45 call out charge, he soon identified that the thermocouple was very slightly out of position(I couldn't see the difference between before and after !). Well done Vicmallows you were spot on, although I couldn't see it !We are now warm and tostie, ready for our trip to Ypres.
