    2x Potterton Suprima 70s lock-out

    Yes it does. Very helpful Engineer from BG came out and diagnosed a failing pump; replaced it the next day as it was a larger type than they keep on their vans. Paid for under a fixed price repair contract which in this instance, because of the type of pump, was a very good deal. Thanks for...

    2x Potterton Suprima 70s lock-out

    Turned one of the boilers off last night, the remaining one was still working this morning and we had some heat and hot water. But now both the boilers are responding to demands for heat/HW, run for about 10 secs, make a noise like boiling kettle and then return to standby (green flashing...

    2x Potterton Suprima 70s lock-out

    Well. both boilers locked out again this morning so not CH at fault. I did the test on the reset button, holding down for >10 secs, and got 5 flashes which according to my PCB manual indicates overheating. Going to switch one of the boilers off tonight and see what happens to the other one in...

    2x Potterton Suprima 70s lock-out

    Thanks for the reply, would there have to be moisture on the electrodes of both boilers for them both to lock-out or would the failure of one make the other also lock-out?

    2x Potterton Suprima 70s lock-out

    Good point, I'll check tonight. Does the lack of pump overrun/by-pass signal a faulty pump? Thanks

    2x Potterton Suprima 70s lock-out

    Thanks for the suggestion, would a faulty thermistor only cause a lock-out when the system started because the boilers behave themselves after I've reset them at the beginning of the day? I assume I could trace the faulty boiler by turning one off and seeing if the other one starts in the...

    2x Potterton Suprima 70s lock-out

    Thanks Glasgowgas. Although I think these indicators are for one of the earlier PCB versions. Mine have only one light which changes between green and red depending on status. The lock-out is a 1 sec flashing red light.

    2x Potterton Suprima 70s lock-out

    The boilers work collectively on the CH and hot water ie they share the load. I'm going to turn the CH off for tomorrow morning to see if the problem is coming from there.

    2x Potterton Suprima 70s lock-out

    I have 2 suprima 70 boilers serving the CH and water (megaflo) systems. PCBs (single light version) have been changed in both over the past 2 years, the system was a new build now 8 years old. Both boilers have started to lock-out (flashing red light) in the morning. They start immediately upon...
