? For a 2016 T@b.  After checking the battery &  fuses.  (for the Alde system ~ heat & hot water.)  Still no function...  What else can I check?  Thanks, Tom

    We need more info.  What fuses -the Alde fuses or the 12v fuses in the breaker box?

    Assuming you have it plugged into a 20 amp outlet with 120 v supply:

    Have you confirmed function of the outlet (are your lights and other appliances working)?
    Is the Alde plugged into the outlet under the bench?  Is that outlet functional?
    Does it work on LPG?
    Is there glycol in the reservoir?

    Does the Alde display work?

    Is your battery cut-off turned to "on"?

    @Skim63 - have you read about the Alde circuit board failures?

    Kim, there are two fuses inside the Alde itself that are known to be troublesome.

    Could you tell me what kind of fuses to buy for the Alde heat & hot water system ....?  #, brand or size, I don't know where to start looking even.  Amazon, auto parts store, Walmart?
     Thanks in advance, Clueless

    Good question! 

    The blade-type fuses in the converter under the bench seat are standard automotive fuses, so you can find them at an auto supply store. Make sure they are the same type (I believe they're ATC type, rather than ATO type)

    The glass tubular fuses inside the Alde, you might be able to find an auto parts store, but I found them at an electronic supply store (online). Digikey.com is good. Again make sure you get the same size and type (the fuses supplied with our Tab were 'fast blow', but they may have been recommending lately to replace them with 'slow blow', I'm not sure). https://tab-rv.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/163/fuse-inventory/p1

    I’m having difficulty with my Alde Flow.  It is set up per manual instructions and the little icon stops flashing when the water should be at 140*.  Turned on pump and water comes out luke warm with an occasional hot flow for a nano second.  I’ve run it for 90 sec and still not hot. Faucet is full on hot.  Help!

    I think your problem was addressed over on another thread - on to the mixing valve!
