Alde 3010 Mystery

in Heating/Plumbing & Winterizing
Couldn’t find my problem using search(at least not using a tablet).  Thought I had the 3010 figured out.  We have the digital touch screen.  Used the heat the first night camping using shore power.  Set temp to 78, power on 2, pump on 3 and continuous.  In the morning I turned the Alde off....no green light in the button.  Last night didn’t turn the Alde on, but in the middle of the night I guess the temps dropped and the Alde was running.  Got up and the green light is definitely off.  Is the Alde possessed,broken, or operator error?

    Do you have the timer function activated?

    I don’t think so.  I could feel heat coming out the vents when I got up, and the light was off.  I went into the maintenance menu and did a reset, hope that straightens it out for tonight.  Thanks for the suggestion

    @Tampakayaker - just to make sure, you know that the Alde pump setting can not be controlled via the touchscreen?

    My first attempt to make a cheat sheet for the ALDE 3010 controller, does it look right?

    B and C are both separate single elements.  If you want the full 2 kw use D.
    C = B (just different elements)

    Welcome, @TXMacDad. Good to see another slider guy here!  :-)

    What Sharon said. Your assessment would be true in a European Alde, where the higher line voltage allows the use of two different sized heating elements. Doesn't apply here in North America.
