Hi,
I have a Potterton HE boiler and it seems to be having some issues, if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.
Sometimes the boiler fires up for approx 5 seconds then shuts down, the boiler retries about 5 times and fires each time before shutting down. After the five times I have to reset the device to get it to try again. Most of the time this occurs for a while before the device fires and stays lit. It will work for a number of days before failing again and causing me to go through the resets until it fires and stays.
One other anomaly is that the trigger for the cycle of problems is an aggressive fire up, in that it almost sounds like it's trying to explode (It actually blew the cosmetic cover ring on the exhaust port off the wall).
Any ideas?
