lights, the fault code is 1, if 2 bars lights, the fault code is 2 etc. Identify the fault code and refer to the table below. 

Table 4: Water Heater Fault Finding

Lockout Clearing Procedure

If the Water Heater lockout condition has been identified by 

3, 4 or 5 flashes / bars lit

, the lockout 

must be

cleared

by turning the d.c. power ‘off’ and then ‘on’ again at the master switch in the vehicle. If the first attempt is unsuccess-
ful, you can retry an additional 4 times. If the lockout still will not clear (identified by all bars lit), please press the red
Reset Button on the Water Heater for 1 second. The Reset Button can be found beside the drain valve (see Fig.
38B).

General Fault

Check gas supply making sure there is gas in the bottle and no blockage in
the gas line. At temperatures below 5°C, use propane gas rather than
butane. Clear lockout as described below. Check combustion air inlet flue
and exhaust flue for blockages.

Minimum operating voltage is 10V d.c., maximum is 15V d.c., when 
measured at the Water Heater. Check battery voltage. If between 10V d.c.
and 15V d.c., check connections between Water Heater and battery. Check
alternator or external battery charging. Clear lockout as described below.

Check that there is water in the appliance. Whale recommends that you wait
at least 5 to 10 minutes to allow the Water Heater to cool before clearing
lockout as described below.

Check combustion air inlet flue and exhaust flue for blockages.

Attempt to clear lockout as described below. If this fails, contact 

Whale

Support on +44 (0)845 217 2933.

Two faults have occured at the same time OR at least five lockout clearing
attempts have been unsuccessful. Clear lockout by pressing the red Reset
Button on the Water Heater as described below.
