The igniter is not working in Motorhome gas heater. Its a Truma s3002 model, anyone know if you can light it with a lighter? How would we access it?
Many thanks

I suspect it needs new batteries. You have to remove the front cover of the heater and in the bottom you will find a little box attached by a wire which contains the batteries. Quite why they make it so difficult to change batteries I have no idea!!!

Hi I've been reading through comment and have identified, someone who had a similar problem with a Carver 3600A heater.
The lower rod connection is missing the grub screw - does anyone know what the size the grub screw should be? (3.5mm) However; is 3.5mm the gauge with the length being -?mm
On this web site it identifies suppliers, but I can't find any grub screws at 3.5mm?
As I have read the grub screw requires to sit flush in the lower rod connection unit, so the length obviously matters...
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
