eber d5 in trouble

I don't know if that's possible, but is there any solution to display the error codes on the command, which is the one on the picture.

Thanks

after using kerosene, the heater stopped suddenly after 3 hours running and now completely impossible to start it again... I think I need to buy a new one, especially now that it's getting cold.

I have to say that is no surprise to me, running on paraffin without resetting the burn rate can cause overheating and I have advised in the past not to do this at all on certain heaters, particularly later models where the output has increased with basically the same physicality. Sometimes it's Ok but sometimes it's not, it all depends on the burn rate. You really should only do it for an hour or so anyway. The original advice from Espar to the Americans was not approved by the manufacturer and the practise was discouraged in Europe, it was to try and save remove and strip warranty costs and only worked with loose soot and not heavy coking. All that said some heaters will run on paraffin as a norm but usually because the burn rate is rich, often the reason for for switching to paraffin in the first place instead of adjusting to properly run on diesel.

SO STRIPPED MY D5LC down ,took the blower motor end off and found what seems like a large full gasket with holes in it ,also with f12 rwelve coming up so measured the leads on ohms and got all zeros i the there should be some resitance not dead short any ideas .roy

Are you aluding to the fluff filter on the intake? Do you have a manual for the beast, if not and you PM me an email address I will send you a PDF copy, it will tell you all you need to know.

Very likely, the overheat sensor should read circa 60kΩ at 20⁰ C

Mislead evertbody there! was thinking about later models. The old D5LC should be closed circuit except in an overheat when it becomes open circuit.
