Diesel Aqua Hot

(1/6) > >>

Dan Murphy:
We picked up our Contessa yesterday from Creative Coach in Lakeland. They had the coach for 2 months and 1 week to repair damage we suffered when we hit a deer in Nevada.The damage to the fiberglass was repaired satisfactorily. When we took it there they estimated 3 weeks.

I had asked for a couple small areas to be "touched up" but that was not done . When I checked it in last November it seemed to not be a problem and the manager even said a couple blemishes might buff out when they waxed the coach.They did nothing extra at all and only washed the coach just before I picked it up.It was still wet.

The detailing after 2 months was not up to par but I took delivery and brought it home anyway.They failed to meet two deadlines that they promised and we missed a rally and lost a deposit so I kind of expected a little extra from them but I was disappointed. I was also promised some touch up paint and they forgot this also.

They did tell me they had exercised the jenny and had kept the unit plugged in and checked the batts.

But now my problem:

I'm going thru all the systems  and I cannot get the diesel burner on the Aqua Hot to start. I turned on the electric last nite and it is working but the diesel will not fire. There are no lights lit up on the control panel.

Can someone please give me a checklist to follow to find any obvious problems before I call for a tech?? Thanks for any help!

Larry Williams:
They may have turned off the main battery switch near the battery. When that happens the Aqua Hot low voltage relay kicks in and needs to be manually reset. This happened to me the last time my rig was serviced.

LaMonte Monnell:
Possibly the low voltage needs to be reset. I used a toothpick on the aquahot panel and pushed the reset in in the small hole in the panel.

Keith Moffett Co-Admin:
Dan, do you mean that your AH does nothing or that it runs but wont fire?
If it tries to start but just wont catch, likely its a plugged nozzle.  I have had this happen after sitting for a couple months if the AH was not run.  Maybe its time for a new filter and nozzle and a clean out on the burn chamber?

Steve Huber:
Dan,
You may want to refer to the Aqua/Hydro Hot Heating Problem write up contained under "Common Problems" in the Technical Section of the BAC web Page.
