Truma Water Heater: “E211H / E212H”

warning RV water heater fault codes

Safety Propane hazard: if you smell gas, close the cylinder valve, ventilate, and do not operate any ignition source. Do not attempt internal gas-valve or regulator repairs yourself.

What it means

Gas-supply / combustion fault group on the Combi: the burner could not run because gas is unavailable or combustion air/exhaust is blocked. The grouped codes E121H, E122H, E202H, E211H and E212H all point to the same family of causes — closed gas valve, empty or iced-up regulator, too much butane, a sealed exhaust/air path, or a defective gas-pressure regulator.

Most likely causes

  1. Propane cylinder empty or the cylinder/quick-acting valve is closed most likely
  2. Combustion air intake or exhaust cowl blocked by ice, slush, snow or leaves common
  3. Gas-pressure regulator iced up in cold weather common
  4. High butane content in cold weather (butane will not vaporize below ~10 C) less common
  5. Defective gas-pressure regulation system rare

Safe checks you can do yourself

How to reset / clear E211H / E212H

  1. Correct the gas/airflow cause first (open valve, clear cowl, etc.).
  2. Switch the heater off at the CP plus panel and back on to attempt a fresh ignition.
  3. If it has locked out after repeated attempts, allow a short wait before retrying.

When to call a technician

Gas is confirmed available and the cowl is clear but the code returns, suggesting a faulty regulator, gas valve or electronics — refer to Truma Service.
