How to repair a Truma US103 850w Caravan Water Heater 

Perfect instuctions. Thank you so much for posting. Saved myself a few quid in labour. A bit fiddly & a bit of an expensive 'kettle element', but yes - replaced my duff element as per your instructions & it's working again nice & dandy. Thanks again. Brilliant stuff.

Your video is useful,I have same problem with same type of heater truma,thank you for your posting! Hope to solve this with your help.❤

That’s a great video now gives me confidence to have a crack at mine

if you ever have to do something like this again or anyone else does this. instead of chopping the wires of the plug from the van loom and joining to the chockbox you would be better to cut the wire from the old element and joining this to the chock box then connecting the wire from the new element to the other end of the choc box, this way you have not cut any wires from the van at all and still have the three pin connector on the wire. if you ever need to reset your element say for turning the water heater on with no water in the tank you can often turn off the wall switch then disconnect the plug/connector (three pin one, the one that you have from the element that you have cut) leave apart for about 20 seconds then reconnect and turn on the switch and often it will have reset and your heater element will work again. nice video, thank you i just hate it when you go to some wiring and its been hacked or cut in to and have the connectors missing can i just ask why you cut ogg the plugs in the first place as it seemed to be the correct one on the end of the cable thanks

thank you

Good video thank where did you get your new heater element from. I am having the same problem.

So could’ve been the five amp fuse rather than the element blowing ??

IF I could just point out, if you use "Imperial" sockets, the 5.5mm is 7/32" and the 7mm is 9/32", so no need to panic if you don't have a 5.5mm or 7mm socket.

The truma hot water service should really be renamed to The Trauma hot water disservice. I wasted money on one in 2015 then replaced the tank that split then replaced the whole hot water service thinking I may have just got a dud then I discovered after replacing two more tanks that they are completely fucked with a lifespan of one to two years and they will not honour their shit dysfunctional rubbish...
