Title: Heater.
Post by: Frankie-boy on July 10, 2012, 04,27:37 AM
Mu Brivis central heating unit stopped 2 days ago, I finally got a bloke out this morning & was going to come back tomorrow with a replacement part.

After he left, I thought I'll get the air hose & give it a good blow out around all the wires, what do ya know, it works again, I could have saved a $120 services fee.

So being a good bloke that I know I am ;D
I thought it'd be a good move to pass it on to mates here at AMTRA

If you've got a air compressor give it a blow out before you call for help, with a bit of luck it'll work for you too.

If it's a Brivis Buffalo or Wombat, they suffer from dust and the Tech Box fails. So if it stops working again. It might be the Tech Box Fuse located under the 240v Service cover.
If you replace the fuse and the fuse blows again, it could be the Gas Valve or the Tech box itself.
Replacement tech box is around $330 inc

Thanks for the info mate, it's still working it's been on for 6 hours, if it fails again I'll call in the experts, I don't want to touch anything that I don't know anything about.
