Trauma Heater

Trauma Trauma

Taken the heater out and repaired it with new thermostat.  At HymerChill, we had a spot of bother lighting the gas heater.  The knob had to be held in a long time.  We took expert advice aand were told to just hold the knob in for a long time.  The thermocouple was aging and it may last another year and would need replacing.  We also discovered that our Trauma was a ‘Nordic’ model designed to be left on whilst traveling.  This mean 2 adaptations had been made – a 12v supply for the ignitor (not batteries) and a special thermocouple with a heat sensor for the heater shell.  I couldnt find a replacement thermocouple, but took the whole thing out and aprt and gave it all a good clean.  I put a straight-forward thermocouple in and Bob was my Uncle – all done.
