Hi all,
I bought a house in Oct, fairly new house it was built in 2001 (ish) and I have joy of inheriting a Potterton Suprima and Boilermate nightmare.
We have the following setup:
- Potterton Suprima 30L - 100L
- Boilermate 2000
When we moved in there was no central heating and the Boliermate was switched to emergency electric hot water. The Suprima wouldnt fire at all.
We got a plumber in who I dont think really knew what he was doing. He replaced the PCB. He didnt check if the gas valve was faulty and this blew the new PCB.
The next plumber installed a new gas valve and a new PCB and it was working fine for a couple of weeks. However, during the festive period the Suprima again broke down, red flashing light.
I did a full restart of everything, right from the mains switch and the Suprima came back online and was working fine for about 20 mins until it sshowed a red flashing light again. I retried many times and it failed. When left for a wihle and restarted it will run again but only briefly.
Got the plumber to come back and it started working again but only for about 2 hrs by which time he had left with his £60 + VAT.
I am now resorting to trying to fix it myself. Looking at the Suprima I am not convinced the problem is with the boiler itself so I have turned my attention to the Boilermate 2000.
Running through the diagnostics test I have come to the conclusion that one of the sensors on the Boilermate 2000 is faulty as I get 'Er' when selecting Sw2 & Sw2 again. The pump sounds like it is running ok.
Could this sensor be sending an incorrect signal to Suprima and causing the flashing red light?
Cheers
Phill
