Autonomous Planar is an air heater developed by Russian specialists and manufactured in Samara. The model range of these car heaters consists of four devices (Planar 2D, Planar 4DM2, Planar 44D, Planar 8DM), each of which is available in two versions - 12 and 24 Volts. Even in severe frosts, such an installation can provide the optimum air temperature in the car. First, we will briefly consider the device and the principle of operation of the heater, and then we will study all the Planar errors (fault codes) and their decoding.
Autonomous heaters "Planar" are equipped with a power regulator and a timer. The installation can work autonomously at all stages. Electronics starts ignition only if the various components are in good condition and the required conditions are met. Therefore, you should not worry about the safety of using the device.
The heaters of this manufacturer work on the principle of supplying outside air to the heating compartment. During the combustion of fuel, energy is released that heats this air. Only after that hot air is supplied to the interior of the vehicle.
To select the optimal power, a special regulator is used with the possibility of fixing in a given position. After the user selects the optimal operating mode, the heater will independently maintain the set temperature.
We decided to publish the Planar autonomous fault codes in the form of four tables. Before each of them, a specific model of the heater is indicated, which will help you understand what the problem is in your case.
The air heating device Planar, produced in Samara, is very popular. If there is not enough heat in the car, it is an indispensable assistant, even in the most severe winter domestic weather. In the cabin of a small passenger model or a spacious van, the driver and passengers become as comfortable as possible in a short time period.
The operation of the device is based on a simple principle - drawing the surrounding air masses into the heating chamber. When fuel burns, heat energy is released. It is sent to heat the air, which then enters the interior of the cabin.
One of the advantages that a planar heater has is the ability to adjust the heating power. To do this, the device has a special knob on the regulator, which is easily rotated and set to the desired position.
Having set the desired power value, there is no need to interfere with the further operation of the device. It will be controlled automatically:
The Planar heater device includes not only a power regulator in the form of a rotary knob, but also a timer. The latter is necessary in order to turn off the installation after a long work.
The device is designed in such a way as to make the work autonomous in all aspects. Automation also monitors the current state of each work item located inside. The ignition process starts only when the control element makes sure that all nodes are in good condition. This achieves a very high level of safety during operation.
To ensure that the resulting flame remains within the normal range, it is controlled by an appropriate indicator. If the temperature limit is exceeded, the control unit will stop burning.
Despite the high level of automation, turning off the device is supported in manual mode. The combustion chamber begins to ventilate. The fuel supply is completely cut off.

Some features of the Planar heater device
As a rule, fuel enters the combustion chamber of the device directly from the fuel tank of the vehicle. However, this option is not the only one possible. Sometimes the device has its own container, into which the fuel necessary for operation is poured.
By analogy, electricity supply is arranged. The planar heater is powered directly from the car battery.
The number of components of the heating device is huge, but among them there are three main elements:
Control panel or block - necessary to control the operation of the device as a whole
Fuel pump - necessary to supply the required amount of fuel to the storage room
Heating element - it heats the air, which subsequently enters the car interior

Of course, the Planar heater is very useful and indispensable in cold winters. However, many motorists do not risk installing it, as they are afraid of incorrect operation in emergency situations.
Engineers took into account all the possible features of the operation of the device in various conditions. Let's consider some of them:
The operation of the heater is constantly monitored by automation. If it is faulty, a warning LED (orange or red) lights up
The device will not allow the heat exchanger to overheat - in such a situation it will turn off
There are cases when the combustion stops for spontaneous reasons - in such situations, the installation also automatically shuts down
As a result of an unsuccessful start of the heating equipment, the automation will make several restarts. If each fails, a failure warning will be issued.
Constant power surges can be very unsafe. The control unit will ensure the operability of the device only in situations where it does not go beyond the normal:
Onboard voltage 12 V (device 4DM-12) - from 10.5 V to 16 V
Onboard voltage 24 V (device 4DM-24) - from 20.5 V to 30 V
Often the cause of overheating is incorrect installation of equipment. It occurs in those cases when the inlet and outlet of the heater were blocked.
Among car owners, especially truckers who spend most of their time on the road, the planar heater deservedly receives a lot of positive feedback. Domestic development, in comparison with imported analogues, is reliable, but less expensive.
In a large number of positive characteristics, there are:
By passing the air vent pipes into the cargo compartment, you can heat the entire car, and not just the driver's cabin
Even at significantly low temperatures (less than -20 degrees), their efficiency remains at a very high level.
Saves fuel and battery life
Sufficient power rating
Unlimited installation time
The planar heater is widely used in vehicles used to transport medicines, drinks, animals, process fluids, etc. They are actively used by drivers of kuguns, cranes and other special equipment.
To use the Planar heating unit, there is no need to start the car engine. This makes it possible to continue to operate it during the night.
There are several models on the market, each of which is characterized by its inherent features. However, the Planar-4dm 24 model is considered the most popular among them. Its installation is possible not only in large vans, but also in change houses, booths, etc. During operation, the heater practically does not make noise.
One of the main aspects of using the Planar heater is compliance with safety regulations. Consider the most significant rules:
If the device has been turned off, it can only be turned on again after 10 seconds.
Do not turn off the power during the purge cycle
The heater must be disconnected from the mains if the body is subjected to welding work.
It is recommended to turn off the device when refueling the vehicle.
The heater must not be used indoors.
Having installed such a device, you must have a sand bucket and a working fire extinguisher nearby.
It is forbidden to lay fuel pipes inside the car, however, they must be reliably insulated from the outside.
In the event of a breakdown, it is not recommended to engage in independent repair of equipment.
Everyone can install a planar heater independently. However, for greater confidence in its subsequent reliability and performance, it is recommended to entrust this process to a professional. The cost of services is relatively low and significantly lower than the cost of possible restoration or repair.
The considered device for heating cars in the winter or small, but necessarily well-ventilated rooms (gatehouse, change house, etc.), is in demand. However, despite the many benefits, cost can be a barrier. Average prices for various models start at 18 thousand rubles.
As mentioned earlier, the installation of heating equipment can be done independently. In order to save time and for greater reliability, you should contact a specialist whose service cost starts from 5-6 thousand rubles.
Here is such a thing: it has been on the car for like a year, it naturally clogged and smoked, they cleaned it, put it in place, we start it, but it does not start, as it thought with white smoke and smokes, by mistake, the peephole blinks 2 times. This is either no fuel or there is a problem with the air pipes, but there are no problems with either one or the other. The exhaust pipe was the identity of the entire soot-cleaned. Has anyone encountered such a problem?
Found the cause of the glow plug! When dialing, it gave the resistance of a new candle; when 15 volts was connected, it glowed by 2 mm and smoked, i.e. burned out completely.
Thanks, but about the side holes, I explained a little wrong. Here are the holes on the inside, why they are needed:
Or should this shell be pulled out after installing the grid? If not, then when you insert the mesh, how to position them in relation to the fuel inlet, it’s not just that they were made like that? The burner was completely changed 2 months ago, because. fungus fell off inside the burner. Now we dismantled everything clean there, the supply is blown easily. Only now the mesh under no circumstances did not want to get out, I did not apply force, because.there was no new grid. If the new burner already comes with a mesh, then the mesh will also be 2 months old. The fuel supply remains, the consumption was not checked for two cycles, so we looked at what was splashing and that was it. They write that these pumps are of shitty quality and can be changed after a year, because. the plunger wears out. By the way, after everything was assembled, they poured a liter of gasoline into the tank for half a tank of diesel fuel (the temperature outside was about 0 degrees) and the autonomy began to warm up better. Although on the same diesel fuel half the night she spat as expected. The pump couldn't have suddenly died. Until this year after installation, I worked without problems. And another question, I saw somewhere that with a mesh in the kit there is a plastic stray for fitting, is it there or does it have to be bought separately?

Long hours of waiting in a car in a traffic jam or, worse, spending the night in an open field in the cold inevitably lead to the idea that an autonomous interior heater is by no means a whim of a hunter-fisherman or an attribute of a professional driver's motor home.
In the cold or slight frost, every hour we warm up the engine to a more or less comfortable temperature of 60-70 degrees. At -20 ° C, you have to warm up every 35-40 minutes at medium speed so that the battery does not die. If an additional electric pump was installed on the stove, we use a warm motor as an autonomous heat source. Depending on the level of interior insulation and air temperature, the engine cools down in 2-3 hours, the car interior - twice as fast.
After 6 hours of waiting, there is a risk of being left with an empty tank and a dead battery. In search of protection from the impending cold, the driver is ready to buy or make an autonomous cabin heater with his own hands. The situation stimulates to think about the benefits of an additional autonomous heater of the car interior better than any advertisement.
It is worth recognizing that the standard equipment and equipment of the car are not conducive to long-term parking in the cold. When buying a car, few people want to spend money on additional equipment of the car with a potentially unnecessary unit. But reality takes its toll. The standard version of interior heating is good only in motion. The operation of the car engine as a cabin heater is inefficient, 95% of the heat flies out into the pipe.
Modern designs of an additional interior heater for heating use the following options:
the heat of air flows flowing around a hot heat exchanger heated by the flame of an internal burner device, this option is called an autonomous air heater of the car interior;
the classic version is air heating by the surface of a heat exchanger, through which an additional amount of coolant heated to a relatively low temperature is pumped through by a pump;
heating with an electric coil made of a metal alloy, a ceramic element or a special metallized carbon fiber cloth.
Leading in the selection of professional drivers.The cost of purchasing and installing an autonomous air heater is approximately half the cost of fuel used to warm up the passenger compartment during the year of operation of the tractor.
The device and design of an air autonomous interior heater in general terms is akin to a primitive starting heater. Unlike the latter, an autonomous heater uses air for heating and is installed directly in the cab or car interior.
The heat generated by the combustion of a small amount of fuel in the combustion chamber is transferred through an aluminum heat exchanger to the air flow forced by a low-noise fan into the passenger compartment. Combustion products are discharged through a metal heat-resistant hose outside the cabin. Fuel is stored in a tank located, as a rule, on the rear wall of the tractor cab. A control panel and an air intake regulator are installed in the cabin. On average, an autonomous device consumes 200 ml of fuel per hour with a battery load of 40-50W. Thermal power ranges from 2 to 7 kW/h.
Modern long-haul trucks and heavy construction equipment are equipped with a 24-volt diesel autonomous interior heater, which is due to the peculiarity of the fuel used and the voltage of the on-board network. In American tractors, the power supply voltage of passenger vehicles is used, therefore, an autonomous diesel-powered interior heater of 12 volts is installed.
Airtronic (Eberspacher) and Air Top ST (Webasto) diesel autonomous car interior heaters enjoy the greatest authority and respect. German quality, trouble-free operation and convenient operation correspond to high prices for products. Among the advantages of branded autonomous heaters:
high build quality;
availability of programmable operating modes;
the ability to start at a distance from the car more than 1000 m.
Among the Russian models, it is worth mentioning the own development of the Samara company "Teplostar" - an autonomous heater of the Planar cabin. At a low cost, it is characterized by unpretentiousness and reliability. It uses diesel fuel and is controlled manually from the remote control in the car. The model of the heater "Planar-4D", consuming 0.12-0.4 liters of diesel per hour, is able to heat the interior of the bus for 30 seats.
It should be noted that diesel and gasoline autonomous interior heaters have a serious competitor - a gas-fired car interior heater that uses natural gas or propane-butane as fuel. It is worth noting the autonomous interior heating devices of the German developer - Trumatic, whose products are distinguished by:
the quietest, almost silent mode of operation,
high efficiency - 97%;
the complete absence of the smell of combustion products, characteristic of diesel fuel.
Petrol autonomous heaters have found application mainly for use in conditions of low temperatures and severe frosts of the northern climatic zone.
With the outward simplicity of the heating principle, an air autonomous heater can hardly be considered as an additional interior heater available for do-it-yourself manufacturing. In conditions of home-made production, it is almost very difficult to fulfill the requirements:
to the quality of welding of elements, taking into account the specifics of the thermal load and deformation of conjugated elements;
to the reliability of control systems necessary for the operation of an autonomous heater;
to the prevention of deviations from the specified combustion regime, the formation of a large amount of carbon monoxide, the burning of the chamber walls and, as a result, the mixing of combustion products and heated air;
to ensure control of the starting procedure without the risk of fire.
The classic version of an autonomous heater is a scheme when two circuits are simultaneously assembled in the heating device - an engine antifreeze heating circuit and a heat exchanger for the coolant sent to the cabin heating system.
There are options for an autonomous heating system with minor modifications that have a connected heat-insulated container or hot water tank in the interior heating system. Such a boiler plays the role of both a heat accumulator and a source of hot water. An additional pump pumps and heats the container operating in boiler mode. Such an autonomous heater is most often used for mobile residential premises - mobile homes.
An electric autonomous heater, colloquially referred to as a "hair dryer", serves to quickly warm up the interior at low air temperatures. If your car has a battery with a capacity of at least 75 Ah, use an electric car interior heater, which is structurally similar to a 12-volt hair dryer, with the difference that instead of 220 V household power, a voltage of 12 V battery and generator is used car. African heat in the cabin should not be expected, but during the warm-up of the car stove to the desired 70-80 ° C, such a car interior heater powered by a cigarette lighter is indispensable if you urgently need to warm up the lock or remove frost from the frozen glass.
low thermal power and heating rate;
the need for a “healthy” and fully charged battery and a working generator.
the heating element of the "hair dryer" is heated to a high temperature and partially burns the oxygen in the cabin air.
Care must be taken when handling the heater to prevent possible contact of flammable substances with the heating element.
An autonomous electric heater for a car interior is easiest to make with your own hands using an electric fan powered by a cigarette lighter.
The most common and affordable heater design is a circuit consisting of a 12-volt fan-cooler used in power supplies and cooling systems for computers and a heating panel. The latter is made in the form of a frame or tube of non-combustible and dielectric material. Suitable elements of covers and cases of powerful electric starters made of textolite or fiberglass.
As an option, a nichrome spiral stretched on special ceramic mounting chips can be used as a heating element for an autonomous heater. In this case, the panel can be made from any heat-resistant material.
Our additional interior heater is powered by a cigarette lighter and a voltage of 12 V, so we use low-resistance nichrome wire in the design:
measure the resistance of 1 m of wire using a tester;
to obtain a maximum current of 5 A, we cut off the length of nichrome with a resistance of 2 ohms and make a spiral by winding the wire on a rod or pencil;
slightly stretch the resulting spiral so that the distance between the turns of the spiral is at least 2-3 wire thicknesses;
Based on the obtained length of the spiral, we choose the dimensions of the heating panel such that there are at least 4-5 rows of the heating element in the cross section of the frame.
fix the spiral on the mounting frame, install the fan and connect a two-wire cord with a wire cross section of at least 1.5 mm 2 to the output contacts.
After assembling the design of an autonomous electric heater, we test it by connecting it to the battery terminals for a short time. If the installation is done correctly, the heater coil should not heat up to the “red” state, the direction of air movement supplied by the fan should correspond to the calculated one. Otherwise, the polarity of the connection must be reversed and taken into account when connecting the power plug to the cigarette lighter.

I buy tanks and put them on the Germans because the original is expensive and Teplostarovsky is cheaper and 13l they also put pumps on the Germans, and after the appearance of Thomas pumps in the spare parts section, they will stop buying the original at all
There are no problems with the purchase of spare parts, it is not clear why you focus on this every time.
I admit about rubber, disgusting, not only does it stink at first, it also hardens in the heating zone and cracks after.
sometimes the desire to do everything yourself turns sideways. I twisted it in my hands from under the German for 10-12 years, soft elastic
There are reasons for everything, and a silencer that is not put on a German is also not just left for nothing.
my car is not under the windows, and I don’t care about the noise when the boiler starts up, by the time it arrives it is already in low or standby mode, not nearly louder than the German.
we must already take a microphone and take spectrograms of everything that is at hand. preparatory work just need to do a lot to challenge it was difficult.
Well, if you remove the exhaust completely, it will be even quieter, but the whole exhaust will be right there.
work is being done to reduce noise, but some things in this country are no longer possible to do, they have forgotten how to order in China not according to Feng Shui.
will stop buying off the road, will only be from dealers and with a mandatory warranty.
normal move and everyone will be happy
You saw that this is not a spiral candle, the Germans call the incandescent pin The manufacturer is the same, the Japanese were satisfied with the visit at first, and only after that they agreed to carry out deliveries.
the KYOCERA element in the product has the following marking - AD-9V and AD-18V
Are you sure that Planar2D was holding in your hands, according to all the answers, the feeling that you have another product in your hands
And they managed to change the candle for anyhow, and found relays somewhere, and a lot of inconsistencies.
We made an inaccuracy in the scheme Connect by color white-white green-green Red-brown Yellow-Yellow (Blue)
it does not affect the operation of the device itself, a change will be made to the documentation so that everyone understands how to connect.
Do you have extensive experience in your own production ?, designing new products and launching them into production ?
Questions and errors arise for those who hold the product for the first time, installers see the usual harness and the same remote control that they see on Planar-44 and Binar-e and do not confuse anything.
the change has already been made to the documentation, but the question arose on Friday, so it will not be possible to pick it up and post it until Monday.
Did you end up turning it on? or immediately ran to the forum to complain
write the name of the company in the LAN weekly online meetings are held with dealers and representatives on quality issues. there will be an application, it will be possible to include it in the plan and you will be able to express in which products you encounter defects and how you propose to eliminate it or what you would like to add. The plant is always ready for a constructive dialogue and clear proposals.
The corrected information with the scheme will be posted on the website tomorrow.
I can also ask the KLA, they know for sure.
but contacts need to be direct to whom to go, and a phone number to agree on a time
Have you already called the service company, found out how the new product failed, and were advised to carry out such a repair? or we ourselves know everything here and now we will quickly fix it.
which of the dealers in Eburg did you contact for spare parts?
Since November 2011, air blowers with an aluminum volute have been installed in Planar 44D (4 kW) - this allows you to reduce the speed at maximum mode without losing heat output and make the heater work more comfortable for the consumer, and setting the air blower is easier in production. Heaters were first identified with the letter M at the end of the name on the heater label i.e. Planar 44D-24-M or Planar 44D-12-M, but then they switched to the old name, but the first two digits in the heater number changed.
Vasily, who did you get the bill from?? I went through your link, made an application, and the bill came from I.P. Abdurakhmanov and without a seal. Maybe this is normal. without VAT.I'm afraid to pay.
Before you engage in self-repair, I recommend assessing the situation as a whole. I mean, get acquainted with the accompanying documentation for heaters, which I have collected for you in one place, I think it will be quite sufficient, and we will try to repair it in our descriptions of the problems that have arisen with your heater. The success of this repair is of course now in your hands. But first assess the situation calmly and reasonably, you need to spend time on this, and time is money. In my opinion, everyone should do what he can do well, and receive moral and material satisfaction from this.
Do you have an interior HEATER, or a pre-start liquid heater?
To be honest, there is not much difference in their principle of operation. Some heat the air and accelerate it around the cabin, creating coziness and comfort, others heat the antifreeze and drive through the engine cooling system, heating it, making it easier to start in winter with the ability to warm up the interior.
The difference in them is only in the efficiency of energy consumption, electrical and fuel.
Heaters are designed for economical operation and for a relatively long time, here both the thermal power is smaller and the pump and fan consumers. The pre-starter has a different main task - to warm up the engine as quickly as possible before starting, but of course not at any cost. What's the point of having a hot engine with a dead battery. But the order of electricity consumption is hundreds of times less than turning a cold engine with a starter.
Table Troubleshooting guide for planar 4dm and 44d auxiliary heater
Fault code
Traditionally, a house, an apartment, an extension, in extreme cases, a garage, if it serves as a part-time workshop, needs heating. Both industrial and public premises are heated, and even open areas, for example, with the help of infrared heaters.
But in a harsh winter, car interiors also need to be heated: trucks, buses, and the like.
An installation that heats the cab or driver's workplace with the help of warm air flows is called an air heater. The design includes a heating element, a pump for supplying diesel fuel, ballasts and wires for connecting the elements. The devices are produced by the Russian plant Planar (Samara) and are characterized by an affordable price with high efficiency, as evidenced by the reviews. In the photo - a heating car installation.
The principle of operation of the Planar air heater is as follows: the fuel mixture is pumped into the combustion chamber by a pump. The heat generated during combustion is transferred to the heat exchanger. The latter is blown by an air stream, and then the heated air is supplied to the driver's cab. Combustion products are removed from the car interior, therefore it is forbidden to use the Planar heater in enclosed spaces - a garage, a workshop.
The fuel mixture for the device is diesel fuel obtained from the tank. The heater works offline, regardless of the state of the engine.
Each time the heater is turned on, a preliminary test of the overheating sensor, pump status, burner indicator and electrical circuits is carried out. If there is a deviation in the state of the elements according to the instructions, the ignition will not be initiated. If the test is successful, the combustion chamber is pre-purged - the air is removed from the passenger compartment, the candle ignites, and then a mixture of fuel and combustion air is supplied. Upon reaching normal stable combustion, the candle is turned off.
When switched off, the supply of the fuel mixture is stopped, the burner is extinguished and the combustion chamber is purged.
The temperature is adjusted automatically, according to the set value: from 15 to 30 degrees.When the air temperature in the cabin reaches the set value, the device switches to a mode with less heat output. If the difference between the parameters is large, the device may activate the ventilation mode, which helps to cool the workplace. When the air temperature drops, the Planar autonomous heater switches to a more active mode. Optionally, the device can be equipped with a remote temperature sensor, which is located in the cabin
Installation of the installation is carried out only by specialists.
The device works offline - the engine can be turned off.
Reported low fuel consumption. The latter is supplied to the heater from the tank.
The products of combustion are removed from the car interior, providing a clean atmosphere inside.
The device is compact and lightweight - up to 12 kg depending on the model. At the same time, the cabin is heated literally in a matter of minutes. The photo shows a sample.
Affordable cost.
The disadvantages include some limitations in application - the installation cannot be placed in places where dust accumulates or accumulation of vapors of flammable substances is possible, and a battery is also required.
The Planar heater is equipped with several security systems that ensure stable operation of the device and emergency shutdown in case of emergency.
If the launch attempt fails, a second attempt is made by default. If start-up is still impossible, the device switches off.
In the event of a burner malfunction, the device switches off immediately.
It also automatically shuts off when the heat exchanger overheats. When the current decreases or jumps, the unit turns off.
All of the above events are reflected on the remote control by flashing the LED - red or orange, in a certain mode. The instruction contains a decoding of the signals, which allows you to quickly determine the cause of the non-working state, as evidenced by user reviews. In the photo - the control panel.
You can extend the life of an autonomous heater and significantly reduce repair costs by following the rules of use recommended in the instructions.
Fuel - it is known that the efficiency of the engine depends on the ambient temperature. For the Planar heater, it is also recommended to comply with certain conditions. So, at temperatures up to -5 C, diesel fuel 3-0.2 is used, at values from -5 to -20 C, it is desirable to use a mixture of gasoline and diesel fuel, and at lower temperatures - A-0.4 brand fuel.
It is recommended to turn on the heater for 5-10 minutes once a month, even when there is no need to heat the passenger compartment. Thus, the appearance of film deposits in the fuel pump is anticipated.
Do not turn off the device until the end of the purge phase. At any other time, a shutdown is possible.
The charge level of the battery should be checked. If the car is not used for a long time, then the Planar heater must be disconnected from the battery.
Do not connect the heater to the electrical circuit of the machine while the engine is running. The device is powered only from the battery, regardless of the weight of the vehicle.
When refueling the vehicle, the device must be switched off.
Repair of the device is recommended to be entrusted to specialists. However, with simple problems that are not related to the burner and damage to electrical parts, you can handle it yourself, judging by the reviews. The instructions that come with the device describe in detail the most likely of them.
Quite often, if the recommendations for switching to winter fuel are not followed, the fuel filter waxes. As a result, the Planar device does not turn on. In this case, you should first change the fuel to the one corresponding to the weather conditions, and check the operation of the fuel intake.If, after cleaning its filter, the Planar heater still does not work, the fuel supply pump should be dismantled, and, having unscrewed the fitting, remove the filter. The element is washed in gasoline and blown with compressed air, and then installed in place. The fitting at the end of the repair should be fixed on the sealant. The video shows the filter cleaning process in more detail.

If you need to repair the part separately, then before you remove it and bring it to autonomous heater repair to the service center, you need to write off the error code, but it is better to send a photo in advance. To clarify the error code on mechanical models 4DM you need to count the number of blinks of the LED, and on electronic 4D rewrite the numbers displayed on the remote control.
After diagnosing and assuming a malfunction, drivers often decide to repair the autonomy on their own. However, it is difficult for a non-specialist to understand all the nuances and perform the adjustment of the unit without errors. One of the features of the built-in diagnostics is the display of a failed circuit without specifying the specific part of the failed circuit. In some cases, several nodes may break, which will complicate the identification of a malfunction and the repair of the heater. Only qualified craftsmen can quickly cope with this task.
Accumulated soot on the evaporator grid, melted contacts and candles, combustion products on other parts can cause the control unit to fail. As a result planar (Planar) will issue incorrect codes for Planar 44D and other models. In this case, only specialists can identify the cause of the breakdown, and do-it-yourself repairs can lead to disastrous consequences or an increase in the cost of the entire process.
