S3002 Truma Ignitor repair/replacement?

[EuroTrotters]

I have just found out the ignitor for the gas burner has failed on our Truma Gas heater.

£100

Far too steep.

Has anyone found a cheaper alternative or replacement please?

That's the manual push button type. The one above is the electronic type that needs a battery.

I assume you have changed the battery and cleaned the contacts?

Funny how things go ours has just stopped as well.
lucky for us it was under £40.

it was sticking out of the top of the case. The last owner said it had always been like that.
well I pushed into position yesterday and ping. it fell to bits .
hence my post on this thread saying could it be this one.

Actually the one you posted is the manual version. It might well fit the OPs heater, from memory there may be a blanked off hole on the top of the case which it would fit into?

Thanks.

I bought a whole fire with no front of eBay, brand new. I’m going to take the igniter off that and sell the rest for spares . I paid £205 because I outbid myself by £6 !

Good plan but it might be better to keep it for spare parts for yours especially if it has the electric elements?

Hi guys. I've just recently changed my electronic igniter for an old school manual push button type.

Was no way the electronic replacement was worth £100.

The replacement was easy to fit. From Amazon for £12

Took 10 minutes.

Just needed a metal hole saw and a wire to ground. Connect the igniter cable to the new push button and hey presto.

Heater fired up right away.

Here's the link for the one I purchased.

If just replaced our battery box with the same push button. But don't think I've earthed it correct as sometimes it won't spark and other times it will. Any tips? Photo of yours would be a great help. Thanks

Hi Busabasher copied your idea for the replacement of the piezo igniter. Although ours was already a manual I removed the Truma igniter by pushing it out of the casing and cut the bottom off as seen in the picture. Then enlarged the hole to take the aftermarket piezo igniter. Connected to existing cable and reused the cable which came with the piezo igniter and added a larger spade connected for the earth. Now fires up first time and only cost £9 from eBay. Very pleased.
