If you get the red instantly then the timer circuit is faulty, if after about 8 seconds and you have gas then it could be one of several other faults but put simply all will require a new or serviced exchange 'burner module'. Serviced exchange are £63 from me inclusive of P&P and 6 month warranty. Regards Gary http://www.arcsystems.biz
If there is a hole then perhaps it was an early Carver/Truma 1800 and this is easily replaced or in fact fitted in place of something else whatever it was. The SB1800 is a simple and safe to use fire, a decent example from me tested and ready to fit would be around £120
light comes on for about 10 seconds followed by red,tried to reset but same happens.also there appears to be a very small drip landing on top of small black box below heater that is connected to wall switch that turns heater on,what is the black box and how do you access it to check if wet inside,also is there an easy way to pinpoint where small drip could be coming from,i have check the hot and cold supply pipes but they appear to be dry.sorry to be a pest but this is all new to me
That's the clue Rosemary?, the black box contains the control circuitry and the dripping water will be doing it no good at all!. The black box is part of the 'burner module' and this is removed from outside the van having first removed the outer plastic cover and the inner flat alloy cover. Once these are removed the module is held by two cross head screw below the gas valve on the right hand side and providing the black box lid has not sprung open the module will slide out. The two screws also seal the gas so this must be turned off first!!. If the box is open then you will need to squeeze it shut from inside the van before it will slide out.
On the Carver Cascade 2 water heaters.. Having operated mine on gas when the van was tilted, the unit now shows visible smoking on the outside. Could this just be carbon deposits? Could you tell me how I can inspect the unit? Many thanks. REG.
What will be the cause is a problem with or within the burner rail, this you can expose by removing the outer plastic flue cover and the flat alloy cover behind that. Once exposed and lit the problem I would think is going to be a long lasy yellow flame rather than bright blue as it should be. If so then the cause will be either rotten and holed burner ends or an obstruction within the pipe in the centre of the burner. Black smoke by the way is always accompanied by Carbon monoxide and this can rise and enter the van so the heater should never be used in this condition.

Having looked at the burner, it is definetly rotten and holed burner ends of the pipe in the centre of the burner. I can't see how you remove this. Any advice? Is this a part I can replace? Do you have the part on the shelf and a cost please? Many thanks. REG.
A serviced exchange unit in stock from me is £63 inclusive of P&P and 6 months warranty. Gary http://www.arcsystems.biz
The best course of action is to replace the module and by doing so fix any faults your existing one has, these are £63 exchange. The fact it has pack up altogether is my only doubt as it is just possible this could be a control switch fault but only if the module is dated late 1991 to early 93. The date can be found on the burner in the bottom right corner below the word 'Patented'. If outside this date range all the faults will be within the module and either way not the reason for your burner sounding like a shot gun. Gary http://www.arcsystems.biz

It has a Carver 3000 A heater.When I tried to light it I found the control knob and connecting rod were not attached to anything! Does anyone know how I go about fixing it,please ?
I take it the control knob is still connected to the connecting rod & u just cant see where it ends up at the bottom. It should push into the gas valve at the bottom of the heater, to the side of the heat exchanger, look for a hole with 1 flat edge, if u look at the bottom of the rod you will see it has a flat side these of course have to be lined up to fit. ___________________ N.E.

I managed to get the front removed and found where the connecting rod should go.The actual 'push down' action of the button was very stiff so I sqirted some DWF around it and managed to free it off. It is now all back together and working fine. This is a superb website and I know I'll be using it again and passing on this site to my mates. Thank you again.......Noel.
