Hi
I've had my 04 Sterling Eccles Elite Explorer since new and until last year had no heating problems at all. It doesn't have a remote sensor but we never had any problems getting the van warm and keeping it like that.
Last year it failed and I had both the 125 and 175 sensors replaced which seemed to fix it for a while - although it didn't seem to hold temperature as well as before.
This year it's failed again and having read posts here and elsewhere I believed the PCB control board to be at fault - I replaced that last week but still not working.
Symtoms etc: Green light on thermostat on at all settings and relay in fire clicks when thermostat trips - so seems ok.
Once the fire is first switched on I get a little heat for a few minutes but then it dies long before getting to much temperature (last year when the sensors failed it stayed on a lot longer and got warmer than now). Switching off and leaving 15 minutes sometimes results in it warming again as before but not always.
All fuses etc are intact/on and fine.
So - I'm a bit at a loss as to the cause of this. Could it be the sensors again so soon? Could it be the elements?
Any help appreciated.
