Webasto Heater Problem And FIX!

Our Webasto Air Top Evo 40 heater quit working so we had to perform a factory reset. Watch our attempt and fail before we finally get it right. Jump to 7:16 for exact reset instructions. Even with this small hiccup we still love this heater system!

I’m a truck driver . I got my wabasto airtop 2000 24 years ago, had rebuilt it a couple of times and last month it gave me code 5 . It’s nov.15 2024, 30 degrees in Boston, just did your reset & it’s working Thanks !!!!

Just piling on here from 10, 000 feet in 2023 Colorado. Thank you for the time stamp too! I ran ours down to 1/4 tank. Oops. I was told to be careful about running it at 1/4 tank; not that it was a HARD NOPE. XD

On a boat with an Air Top 55. Ran out of diesel and the heater threw the F02 error. Topped up diesel and tried to restart at least 6 times, didn't work and the heater became totally unresponsive.

Next day tried a reset, didn't work, then found your video and tried your method. Took 2 tries and about 30 mins, but it finally kicked into life! Thanks for putting up this video, January in Scotland needs heat!

You absolute Heroes!
Here we are. Scottish New Year. No engineers available for over a week, and then a blank cheque reqd.
BUT!
Ten minutes after finding your video, we were all toastie and warm.
Thank you soooo much.
P. S. We have an Air Top Evo M controller and your fix worked first time. Thanks again.

I need to write this down. This video has saved my butt multiple times over the years however, this time I have a F08 error code, which is indicating a fan issue either way running through this procedure still got the heater working. Thank you!

well at least you CAN do these resets/repairs yourself. these are just part of the full-time van life adventures, have to look at it as part of your learning curve, as you haven't had the van that long. thank goodness it was an easy fix. Carey-on!!

George HumbleRoad saying “expect things to break!” and “Access” all this time and seeing it in action is so satisfying! This may be the shortest van “repair” project I have seen. Thanks for sharing!

THANK YOU for this video! The instructions we had in our rental van were missing steps that y’all included. You saved us from a very cold night in Grand Canyon NP!!! 😅

[lanalloyd]

You guys ROCK!! We had the exact same thing happen, we were freezing and your fix video saved the night! Much gratitude!

OMG I searched troubleshooting webasto and your video came up! My heater issue fixed in 15. Thank you😘

[juliawhenthegirlsrule]

Oh my gosh you two! Thank you! You just helped me in Taos, New Mexico fix my webasto heater in 17 degrees! Cheers!

I tried more than a dozen times before succeeding with your guidance. Thnx a million ✌️

Thanks so much for the info at 7:16. My Webasto AirTop Evo 55 was blinking 5 times quickly and it wouldn't start heating. I've had this happen in the past where it resolved itself after a period of time, however this time it was not going away. Following these instructions to reset the lockout solved the issue for me!! I read through several Webasto manuals for various heaters and this reset procedure was not mentioned anywhere.... unbelievable ha ha! This is why I also have a wood stove!!

[ericjohnson]

Thanks so much for this video! Our setup is almost exactly like yours and this worked beautifully! One note: Ours did stop because our fuel went below 1/4 tank. After the reset, we needed to try starting the heater a few times. This filled the fuel line and primed the system.

All my family is in that area
And Santa Rosa and Kenwood. Sounds like everything is about to shut down again. Hope you can enjoy the area.
Love the hot spring pools at the Calistoga Inn.... waters are amazing!

Colin and I are so glad you are both o.k. and yes that little Pistol looks like she is a heater. What a blessing your little buddy is. Take care of yourselves and we are watching to make sure you are both safe. Thank you for your share...Carolyn and Colin Hogarth Canada.

I tried everything and this was the only think that worked for me. 2015 Freightliner Cascadia with electric heater. Thank you guys ❤

[marksherwin]

This was a lifesaver. Had been reading all the manuals and guidance but this video did the trick. Thank you!

[suzyq]

So glad everything worked out with a learning experience and some anxiety. Good attitude and so decent of you sharing the whole experience. Now go drink some wine as it's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Hi guys😃 good maneuvering in and out of that space Dave and Irene. Good job George labeling everything otherwise may have been a bit harder to find and fix🤗🤗🤗. Stay warm and Carey on😃
