Alde heating system

[panamerican]

I'll tell ya, reading all these threads about the Alde with this problem or that problem or low or no hot water, makes me happy that my Atwood furnaces and water heaters have been spot on for nearly 20 years. Yea, they are not perfect, but man, every time I see one of these threads (and there are a lot), I just cringe at the thought of the improvements Airstream has made to a now MSRP trailer of over $150k. 12v fridge compressors that kill the batteries in a few days, on demand water heaters that have no recirc valve that waste 2-3 gallons (or more before it's hot enough). Awnings that don't retract or open at a less than opportune time....now that's progress!

Well folks I just got the 3020 alde installed,have hot water now yeah. All I can say is Truma Elkhart did a great job. It works like a charm. No more cold showers for me n wifey yes I paid to get it changed out but was happy to get the water hot.

He pushed it waited a few minutes and then pushed it again, the Alde system did reset and we had heat again. Thanks fir helping us understand the Alde system.

Same thing happened in our 21 classic. You don’t need to remove the whole seat cover under the dinette. Just remove the false panels under the dinette seat. Find the 12V wire. It is the one closest to the wall in the box on top. You can’t see it well but if you try hard you will. Unplug it for about 1 min then plug it back in. The overheat red fail should clear. Hopefully this works. It did for us (a couple of times). and we didn’t have to bleed the system.

I am looking for Alde Parts, in particular the mixing valve. After looking to make adjustments to obtain more hot water for showering, I see the mixing valve head is chewed up from pliers seems to be frozen. This is part of an Alde 3020 in a 2021 Classic 33FB.

Thanks
