A Laika where the heater won't start while the boiler does provide hot water often points to a problem in the circulation or the control of the heating circuit.
A Laika where the heater won't start while the boiler does provide hot water often points to a problem in the circulation or the control of the heating circuit. In Truma Combi systems, the cause is usually a dirty burner or a faulty circuit board; in Alde systems, it's air in the water circuit or a broken circulation pump. First check the gas or diesel tank, the fuses, and the thermostat, and if in doubt, call in a camper technician.
A correct diagnosis requires knowledge of the specific system in your Laika, as the solution differs depending on whether it's a Truma Combi gas/diesel or an Alde water-based heating system.
Laika typically installs a Truma Combi (gas or diesel) in the more compact models, while the higher ranges are often equipped with an Alde wet heating system. Each type has its own typical ailments. We go through the most common causes and how you can assess them yourself.
With a Truma Combi on gas, a dirty burner or a faulty ignition unit is often the culprit. Also check that the gas bottle is not empty and that the gas tap is open. In the diesel version, the fuel pump or the glow plug may be broken. A flashing error code on the display usually indicates the direction.
With an Alde system, the heating stays cold if there is air in the water circuit, the circulation pump is not running, or the boiler is not heating up. Bleeding the system can sometimes help, but a faulty pump or a blocked heat exchanger requires professional intervention.
Always start with the basics: is the thermostat set high enough, is the 12V supply in order, and are all fuses intact? Also consult our general explanation about camper heating that does not work for a broader step-by-step plan. If you cannot find a clear error code and the appliance continues to refuse, it is time for a diagnosis by a camper technician.
The costs for a repair vary widely. A simple cleaning or a new thermostat often costs between 100 and 250 euros, but a faulty circuit board or a new circulation pump can amount to 600 to 900 euros, including labour. Always ask for a quote beforehand.
If the repair becomes disproportionately expensive or you are tired of the hassle, there is an honest way out. You can sell your Laika without having to have the heating repaired first. We take over campers in any condition and give you a realistic price based on the current market value.
