What to do if your Truma hot water and heating system isn't work

There are a few reasons why your Trauma hot water and Heater system could display fault codes. Please work through this troubleshooting list to eliminate and solve the fault.

The window is open (model specific):  

  • Check the window with the Truma safety switch on it is closed (this will not relate to all models) 

The gas bottle is empty:

  • If you are running it from the gas source, check your gas bottle to ensure it’s not empty and/or change to your spare full bottle. Ensure the regulator on the gas bottle is fully open. 

Control panel: 

  • Ensure you have selected the correct source on the control panel.   
  • To learn more about working your control panel, please refer to our article on how to work my control panel or view the video below.

Mains source:

  • If you are running it from the Mains source, check that power is coming into your motorhome.  You can do this by seeing if your microwave is going, or mains element on your oven hob.
