I need to rectify my last comment. In the entry you clearly stated that the controller
starts the heating sequence, it means heating actually is called for. I should have read
the entry again after being absent awhile. Some rethinking is needed now.
So you told that heating sequence proceeds somewhat, looks like to the point where
ignition in expected. Those LEDs in the valve PCB indicates that holding coils are energized
but they does not necessarily open without activation coils energized. Now the question arises
if you did hear the clunking sound they make on opening? The red alarm LED in the control
panel should light up on missed ignition anyway...
On the last picture in #5 the valve unit connector looks like slided partly away of its position?
Do I see it correctly?

Patrick, as LammitinGuru stated, the temperature sensor (NTC) is roughtly
47Kohm but it is parallel with 56,2kohm and 121kohm giving 21,13kohm total.
It is equated as 1/((1/47kohm) + (1/56,2kohm) + (1/121kohm))
(I expect you don't have remote sensor equipped)
The reason to focus in temperature sensing is obviously in that the heater
doesn't start but doesn't enter alarm state either. So the controller MCU
sees everything OK without need to call for heat. The conclution ==> temperature
is measured wrong.
/* @Mjo: Tuossa kytkennässä häiritsee se että jännite mittausketjulle on otettu
kontrollerin navasta 6 joka ei välttämättä/stabiilisti saavuta syöttävän
regulaattorin jännitettä. Noin nopeasti silmäiltynä en löytänyt LAY-OUT-kuvaan
verrattuna virhettä mutta itse en suunnittelisi piiriä noin. Oletko sattumoisin
tullut koskaan mitanneeksi minkä verran kuutosnavassa saattaisi olla jännitteen
alenemaa Vdd:en verrattuna. Kysyn siksi että sen tiedon perusteella voisi
arvioida muutosta jos sellaista on päässyt tapahtumaan.
MCU:n navat 7 ja 8 ilmeisesti pystyisivät paljastamaan totaalin katkoksen
joissain kohtaa mittausketjua. MCU ilman AD-muuntimia ei tietystikään voi olla
kovin hienovarainen tuossa suhteessa mutta ilmeisesti itsediagnoosiin on ainakin
varauduttu. Mielenkiintoista. */
Patrick, in case NTC is not failed, can you measure voltages on MCU pins 6,7,8
and 18?

@mjo33400, thank you for this advice, i will check this when i get back home. Just to be sure, you are speaking about the 3 LED on the Gas Switch module? Kind regards, Patrick

@Scoop
im working since 25 years as a systems engineer in the IT Datacenter Environment. My education then, end of 2002 included some electric explaing, so i can measure voltage, conduction etc, also very small understanding of reading schematics, i have basic soldering skills, but thats it. 
about your question if it turns to a failure. On the controlpanel there is only a green led, when i press the big button to enable the heater pump. nothing red appears, even after after 15min waiting. i thought in the past, i had once a red led on, when i forgot to open up the gas bottle valve. In this years trouble shooting i never got a red led.
Oletko todennut, että lämmitin käynnistyy, mutta kolmosteho ei pysy päällä? Kolmostehon pitää pysyä päällä noin 17 sekuntia jonka jälkeen kakkosteho on päällä tasan minuutin. Tämä sykli toistuu niin kauan kuin kolmostehoa tarvitaan. Jos lämmitin ei käynnisty niin sen pitää mennä häiriötilaan. Tarkista ohjauspaneelin NTC-vastuksen juotokset. Vastusarvo on tuo kytkentäkuvan 47 kohmia.

good morning,
i checked the flame cable, its the white stiffer cable (going into the burner) but optically, i would say, its not cracked, and i dont know if i can unplug it down on the burner side?
question: is it possible that the temperature sensors are broken? what would be the resistance in OHM of these?
My understanding is as well, that the 3 LED on the Gas Magnet Valve should be active, according to the power i pull?, so 2,4,6kw?
Thanks

At least here in Finnland we consider these repairs of caravanheaters
as "business as usual". Some of us are self sufficient, some may embark
themselves by help of fellow caravanpeople. But to comform the way of
helping it is always necessary to know about resourses and abilities
available of those been helped.
So you might shortly tell something about capabilities of yours
in technical matters. Can you read schematics? Can you conduct electrical
measurements assisted/unassisted? Have you basic understanding in
electronics.
Aquaflex is not too complicated thing in general and we can
guide you throught fault tracing if you feel confident in making some
electrical measurements.
BTW, you didn't specify if your starting attemps ends up into alarm state?

Hi, seems some misinterpretation to me....
@LaemmitinGuru: "Epaeilen, ettae sinulla on kaasuventtiilin valkoinen liitin murtunut juotoksista"
< I suspect you got broken solderjoint at gasvalves white connector >
"Meneekoe tosiaan musta johto liekin tunnistin liittimeen? Sehaen tarkoittaa, että kaerjet on vaihdettu"
< Black wire to the flame detector? It means electrodes has been swapped >
Just a comment.... Black wire to the flame detector? Should'n be indeed. That wire is a of special
insulation like PTF ("teflon"), bright non-coloured, slightly stiff, the only of its kind in the
apparatus.
Do you have a multimeter at hand?
I'll come back to this at next night (if not solved before that)

Hello, that was quick The 2 LED are active when i activate the Gas button. The 3rd LED is only active for 1sec, and then turns off. i resoldered the cable socket on the board (i think its the flame detector with the black cable going down to the heater) it has only 1 pin. you think the cable is broken?
