Extruder not heating when connected to Repetier Host

I haven't used my printer for a few months. I tried to do a small print from Repetier Host but the extruder does not heat up and the red LED does not light. If I close Repetier Host the red LED lights up and the extruder heats up.

Repetier Host does not start the printer but continually says "Heating Extruder". I'm trying to print ABS at 245C. The temperature monitor at the bottom of the panel shows the extruder temperature constantly fluctuating between 12 degrees below the set temperature to 3 degrees above. My room ...

Re: Communication Error

You've probably already solved this problem. I had the same issue - caused by Repetier Server taking control of the COM port you have been allocated. I uninstalled Repetier Server and the problem disappeared.

I3 Pro B GT2560 Firmware Upgrade

I've only just finished building my 2016 I3 Pro B and on testing I found that the X and Z axes move in the wrong direction when I send the extruder home.
