Alde 1KW heater element

How old is your Alde system?

The boiler is 3020 and is in a 2015 caravan. 

Having checked the cost of a new boiler compared to the estimated price of a Alde repairs, a new boiler would possibly be of better value.

I’ve decided to just run the system on the 2kw setting and wait until that fails. At that stage, I’ll either strip the boiler and see if i can find replacement generic elements, or invest in a new boiler.

"I’ve decided to just run the system on the 2kw setting and wait until that fails."

Statistically the chances of that occurring could be a very long time?

Alde UK might be willing to help you by giving you some basic "mean time between failure" data, particularly here in the light of your 1kW element's failure?

As the company chose to design this as a non-routine replaceable component, I have the feeling your type of failure has to be very rare.

That suspicion, is largely based on them marketing this as a premium product, where any real population of premature failures, with no reasonably costed repair option would be particularly damaging to the reputation, of that product placement.

Hope now the unit functions without further failure.
