Repair of electric radiator error code 16.02 (Chauffelec, Concorde, Siemens, Noirot, Airelec ...)

[ENERC]

My radiator was in error 16.02 with random heating. This failure concerns the models:
Electric heater ODESSAS II
Concorde Elsa II
Concorde Arkady
Siemens KLAVA
Noirot Camélia, Karisa, Calidou
Chafelec Cyrene
Airelec Duplex…

I followed the tutorial https://www.commentreparer.com/46667/Ra ... -a-inertie.

Remove the electronic part with the 3 torx screws.
I only disconnected the 3 wires to the heating body and the 3 temperature probe wires (take a photo)
Gently take out the 2 clips which press the transistors onto the radiator
Untwist the aluminum brackets that secure the radiator
Take out the radiator (on the back in photo 1)
Desolder the capacitor 470nF X2> 250V
Resolder a new capacitor
Put back the radiator, twist the 2 fixing lugs with pliers to lock it on the electronic board
Put the 2 clips back on the radiators
Put everything back together and .... it works again !!!!

A failure on a component for less than 1 euro .... it smacks of planned obsolescence

Hello,
I would like here to give my thanks to "enerc" for his tutorial of 22/12/2020 concerning the error code 16.02 ...
I had the same problem in December after a power cut I noticed that my radiator a Concorde Arkadi model of 1500W bought in 2012 displayed this code "16.02" when the heater was triggered controlled by pilot wire, this code is displayed alternately with the "Auto" Comfort mode display ... I called the after-sales service of the "Leroy Merlin" dealer who had no information and could not provide me with any help. I contacted Noirot and Arelec after-sales service and they just told me to contact my dealer to order a control panel ref. S136AA2899EZ ... for info. I got the price from Leroy Merlin: between 85 and 90 € !!!
I went on Amazon and I found the reference of the capacitor sold by 10 for less than 9 € returned !!!
I received the parts in less than 48 hours, I replaced this damn capacitor ,,, radiator reassembled and in perfect operation since ... A big thank you for your tutorial ....

Hello,
I changed the capacitor of my two Concorde radiators, the code 16.02 always appears when electrically connecting the radiator then disappears after a few seconds; when I turn it on there is no longer this code, is everything okay or is the capacitor problem still present? Thank you for your answers

Hello,
The new capacitor may not have the required value.
It is necessary to measure its capacitance with a capacitance multimeter to ensure this.
