Mertik Maxitrol G30 ZR Remote Repair Details

Manufacturer : Mertik Maxitrol

Model : G30 ZR

Customers Fault Description : job ref:3795-4419
Remote tested by you and not found to be faulty. Now sending gas fire unit. Fire can be turned up but not down.

 

This gas fire remote and receiver arrived safely, on testing the remote was confirmed to be transmitting as normal and the receiver was at fault.

On inspection of the receiver the battery compartment had signs of a battery leakage (see image).  On testing the receiver was confirmed not to be responding from the down channel.

On opening the reason became clear, the battery leakage had traversed onto the main PCB and has started to corrode much of the print / components (see image below).

Due to the amount of damage caused a repair is not possible and a replacement is the best option.
