Petrus 850 Electric Fire Remote Repair Details
Manufacturer : Petrus
Model : 850 Electric Fire
Customers Fault Description : Remote batteries were left in unit and it became contaminated AA batteries removed, but when replaced with "new" batteries the unit doesn't work Would appreciate if you could repair / replace this
Remote Fixer Repair Response (see below) :
This Valor remote arrived safely and on inspection was confirmed to have corroded battery terminals from a battery leak.
On testing the control was found to be transmitting but the button response was sluggish especially on the heat 2 button.
After talking with the customer it was concluded to carry out an "overhaul" on the remote. Replacement conductive button caps were fitted on each button which eliminated the sluggish response. The corroded terminals were replaced and also the oscillator was replaced as a precaution.
