Mertik Maxitrol G30-ZRRS Remote Repair Details

Manufacturer : Mertik Maxitrol

Model : G30-ZRRS

Customers Fault Description : Not sure of fault. Batteries inside were dead and signs of corrosion of copper (green deposit) at or near battery terminals plus possible battery leakage. I scraped off corrosion, fitted new batteries, and it worked ok for a while. However, it had failed an hour later. The receiver unit light does not illuminate using a functioning remote (not the one I'm sending for repair. Maybe I disturbed terminals to maybe corrosion of joints?

 

This fireplace remote and receiver arrived safely and on testing it was actually the remote handset itself that was at fault.  No signal was present on either the up or down channel.

This was due to a faulty US transducer, this was replaced and full functionality was restored.  No issue could be replicated with the receiver.
