    Potterton boiler control

    I appreciate this is an old thread, but someone may find this helpful. Fan cycling is likely caused by a fault in the -50V low voltage power supply on the 407677 PCB (located just to the right of relay 1), which energises relay 1, and relay 1 keeps the fan running after the air pressure switch...

    Drayton Wiser and Vaillant Boiler

    Thanks. I haven’t counted. But the oil setting is a lot less intrusive. It seems to overshoot a little more, but only by 0.5C which is a small price to pay for a quiet life (and perhaps more efficient gas usage on an old boiler). I’ll never know because it’s not a controlled experiment. I would...

    My 24 year old Potterton boiler was short cycling after installing the Wiser system. It sometimes fires up and the pump runs for only a few seconds. It also boils up and I suspect short pump times may not help, but this may be unrelated. I initially suspected the overrun thermostat was...
