huum.....I'm a bit stumped.
I've got an old X1 Propex unit (so old that it doesnt actually say X1 on it, just 1600W, 12V). I've done a search, read up, and rang propex and it still wont go.
I've attached the (2wire, black & Red) Stat to a fully charged battery and attached a new bottle of gas directly to the propex unit.

I switch on the stat, red light on,
turn the dial to 11 (6 or 7 actually!), green light on flashing quickly
Clicking relay noise
A purge 'puff' now and again
NO FAN NOISE.
then it cuts out (about 5 seconds in).
I've taken the unit out completly so it's not a blocked duct or anything.

Propex said to take it apart and have a look at the fan - is it rusted or stuck etc. Has anyone had one of these apart? Any tips?

now this is weird - I replaced the wiring to/from the stat and everything works.

You'd imagine that the thing would either light or not - not get halfway then cut out.

Odd stuff, at least it works now!

Time to crack a beer and pat yourself on the back then

Well done
