    Baxi 51/5 BBU

    Just replaced pcb on this model boiler (as per MI fault finding chart) still having problems. I read a previous post from here that "it was best to change sensor" at the same time as pcb? Is this a known fault? it is not identified in the fault finding chart.

    Optima panel blowing fuse

    Thanks for your advise so far. I am now pretty sure it will be a neutral fault in cu, it does not trip the breaker when fuse spur powered up it trips the main rcd. it is a split board so only knocks off part of cu. Thanks again for help and advise.
