the service was a proper service by a corgi registered engineer who came very highly recemmended. Took about an hour or so. Due to the rewiring taking place, the firefront is off, am waiting for the gasman to come back off hols this weekend to put it back on. Could the pilot be blocked / dirty...

was serviced just before xmas

it has been checked already. It does occasionally try and ignite a few times a second as it should, but not very often.

Hi, i have a potterton housewarmer 45. I have just had it rewired and a new programmer in. The problem i have now is that the ignition is really slow. It used to try and ignite a few times a second, now, it tries about once a second until it eventually locks out if it doesn't ignite. Any ideas?

No, c/h can only be on with h/w, but hot water can be alone, its a gravity system.

I got a corgi registered gas engineer in to change all components, and an electrician to check wiring. I have the installation booklet and it doesnt say anything about a motorised valve on the back boiler.

so, im guessing that i should get gasman to change motorised valve then? i know i shouldnt ask prices but what range should i be looking at?

sorry, forgot to mention, also had pump changed. It keeos igniting when clock is off, then locking out ( i presume when it gets to temperature)

Hi guys, i have had a problem with my backboiler for a while now and its really getting me down. The back boiler keeps locking out. I have had the PCB changed, a new programmer, and a gas engineer look at the system. He says it must be the wiring that is wrong due to a previous mishap. I have...

The boiler does have a 3am fuse on the mains

Thanks guys, i have connected the earth to the mains earth. Cheers

Hi guys, i have recently had lots of problems with my backboiler, although the problems appear to be solved now, i have a query. The boiler is a potterton house warmer with a heating system. The control unit earth isnt connected to anything, its just "floating" behind the programmer, the same...

Well, the electricians been and gone, rewired pump, mains & boiler to programmer. Still the same happening. After he scratched his head for a while, he blamed the boiler control board. It was definately NOT the programmer he said. When he had gone, i had an urge to remove the programmer...
