• 2006 IS100
• Internal vertical flue
• Natural gas
• Remote controlled (Skytech 5301P)
Front and rear burners can be run separately.
HSI functions (glows) as expected.
If front burner is running (by red button), and then rear burner tries to start (by remote temp control) it mostly fails on first attempt. However, the front flames momentarily drops significantly while rear ignites.

Our Archer FS100 gas log heater decided to stop working. Can someone recommend a good technician to fix it? The man I used a couple years ago for the same problem is booked out until end of July.
I live in Sydney.
Thank you

After turning OFF the fire, the fan will run until all the heat in the fire is dissipated, it takes a while to blow out all remaining heat. I sometimes find this annoying and turn it off at the wall plug.

For the IS900, this is one of the problems with thermastically control heaters, and unfortunately other brand heaters are going the same way. Manual control seems to be coming less . You can't just turn it off at the power point as you can stuff your heater up. Yes It does take a long time for the fan to turn off but that's how the heater is designed. Very annoying as it seems to go for ever. If your fan is will not turn off good luck dealing with Aurora, they don't want to know and can be quiet rude about it.

Hi there, Usually it is the flue pipe but it could also be your flue fan. Things can get inside the pipe and build nests in the fan which in turn will stop it working. You will need to get into the back of the heater to access the fan. Please give us a call if this does not help, or email your details so we can communicate further. 0397958895 Regards Lee

This could also be a fault with the pressure switch. It has a micro switch that works off a diaphragm that senses low pressure when the flue fan is running. If either the micro switch, the diaphragm, or the tubing is faulty the heater will cut out for safety reasons. So even if the flue fan is running and all is well with the flue, if there are any issues with the pressure switch the heater will cut out.

Hi Boo

Sorry I don't know the anser to this, as my heater is a different model.
When was the last time you had the heater serviceed ?
Isn't there some hint under "trouble shooting" in the manual.

Nothing in the manual.

Probably need to change batteries in the remote control. The Receiver box inside the heaters seem to beep when they are losing signal with the remote whether it be low batteries or remote taken too far away. Change the batteries or move the remote closer to the heater. See if that works
