Hi
I have a 13 year old Potterton Performa 30 HE. Had been great for the last 12 years until I have got whistling sound in the last year which is reduced by turning the temperature of the water. Last few months, it turned off with lights (1) FLAME/Condensate fault and (3) Fan/FLUE counting from the lot flashing. A heating engineer came and got it to work and said, he just fiddled with the electrical connectors. 2 months later, the same problem happened to me and I fiddled with the connectors in the PCB and the 2 connectors at the condensate trap and tried resetting a number of times but failed. Then I got lucky for no notable reason and it fired up hot water and radiators for a couple of hours and then died again with the same two lights flashing. There was no whistling sound then. The condensate trap looked OK with one chamber nearly full and the other one empty. I am just wondering whether it is a simple fault to fix or it is time to buy a new Worcester Bosch 30 kW for £2350 and save future hassle. Thanks for any help.
