A Benimar that provides hot water on gas but blows no warm air usually points to a faulty circulation pump or a dirty heat exchanger in the Truma Combi.
A Benimar that provides hot water on gas but blows no warm air usually points to a faulty circulation pump or a dirty heat exchanger in the Truma Combi. With a completely silent heater, the 12V supply, a blown fuse, or a faulty circuit board are often the culprits. Expect to pay 250 to 500 euros for a new circuit board, and 150 to 300 euros for a pump, excluding installation.
The exact cause depends on the type of heating in your Benimar: a Truma Combi gas/diesel or an Alde system. A specialist can quickly provide clarity by reading the fault code.
Benimar builds solid motorhomes, but even here the heating can fail. Depending on the model and year of manufacture, Benimar typically installs a Truma Combi on gas or diesel, or in the more expensive ranges an Alde water heating system. Each system has its own typical quirks.
First check that the appliance has power and that the fuses are intact. With a gas-fired Truma, an empty gas bottle, a frozen pressure regulator, or a dirty burner can be the culprit. Diesel systems, on the other hand, suffer from clogged filters or a faulty glow plug. With Alde, an air bubble in the circuit or a failing circulation pump is a classic.
A thorough diagnosis reads the error codes and tests the sensors. Expect to pay 60 to 120 euros for a diagnosis, excluding parts. A new circuit board can easily cost 300 to 600 euros, a burner unit 200 to 400 euros. Sometimes a thorough cleaning is enough, but with older units, repair can cost more than the motorhome's residual value.
If repair costs rise to more than half of the current market value, or if the unit has already been repaired several times, it is time to consider selling.
