Hi All,
I am hoping someone more DIY than I can help me out.
I have a Brivis He20e gas ducted heater and all has been fine for a long time. Last Friday- it was working well then It went off and I had a largish plume of smoke and an electrical smell in the house. Turned it off. Called a technician. Found to be the large capacitor nearest to the main fan, relpaced it - all working again. That was until I turned it off around 9:30pm that night. Technician tells me that my unit hasn't got a lot of life left in it and that I should look to replace it...a little surprising to me given there seems to be many spare parts that are still available ( I do see that some parts, including the NG-1/LO Module 503 is obsolete and not manufactured any longer)
Saturday morning (02/05) - turned it on -all good. Started as is normal even pumped the heated air into the house for 15 minutes. Then an error message: 'Busy 40 H1 and 43 H1' on the networker screen.
Outside
I headed to the unit and I hear the main fan on like its all running correctly. On the controller in the unit:
Error flash and message - 'OHeat_R-A' then 'Postpurge'
So it seems to me that the unit overheats and switches to of and goes into post purge.
I switch off the power, leave it for 30 minutes, re-power it up. Worked again for 15 mins then same error messages on the networker screen and the NG-1/Lo.
Can anyone please advise if I need to totally replace the whole unit now? It seems like it could be just one small failing potentially replaceable part?
Keen for all feedback
thanks in advance
