No Hot Water

[Stusmk1]

Hi All

Common problem but can't find a solution on other threads. I'm new to this so go easy on me.
I am not getting any water through the hot taps at all. When turning on the water heater it starts up but turns straight off. It has a full bottle of gas, it ignites but doesn't stay lit. I've replaced the burner unit but no change. It is a Carver water heater.
Any help will be gratefully received

The last carver I had to look at had a similar fault , it was on a motorhome with an internal tank. Symptoms :- turn on hot water tap , funny gurgling noise , no water, Activated Carver , control panel goes green , and then goes into error. Fault :- water tank had become detached ( the tank is held onto the body with a large nut and washer , which connects to a long internal shaft) the end of the shaft had snapped , presumably through freezing ( the owner didn't know he had to drain down the system in winter) Sent the unit away to a guy who repairs them, not cheap.

Hi IanB1485

Thanks for the quick response. That's not great news then. I'll start having a look for repaired units or someone to repair it.

Thanks for your help

I don't have any knowledge of the unit your talking about. But does the hot water tank have a drain valve that has been left open? It would mean the tank has no water. I know this as I did it myself 😂 on our Alde system.

Just a throw in, do you have to remove the cover for the intake / exhaust for the Unit. That stops the unit from running.
