Gazco Mertik Maxitrol Remote Repair Details

Manufacturer : Gazco

Model : Mertik Maxitrol

Customers Fault Description : The receiving unit which powers the gas valve ( On/Off/up/down )has stopped responding to the remote controller ) New batteries in both controller and receiver

 

This Gazco remote and receiver arrived safely.  Initial testing revealed that the handset was transmitting fine yet the receiver was showing no signs of receiving a signal.

When opening the receiver a couple of the battery terminals showed signs of a battery leakage (crystals had formed over the contacts and signs of corrosion were showing)

The fault itself was caused by  dry joint on the main board on the power cable (probably caused by the battery terminal leakage), this was resoldered, the leakage cleaned up and full functionality was restored.
