More or less a new boiler!! haha

So I don't have to have him back.....he's our local Baxi guy, and there is no-one else in the area. So if there was something I could do myself....open/half close valves etc, I would rather try to sort it myself to be honest!

I've had the PCBs out, but there doesn't look like there is anything to adjust on them? Cheers

I have the heating set at 21 degree's. There is nothing for me to set on the boiler itself. Cheers

Hi Terry, Thanks for the reply. So the stopping and starting is probably normal - and it has possibly always done it? I'm maybe just being negative, as we had no heating for 3 days while he was stocking up on more spare parts! So I want everything to be 100%, and thought this was another...

Hi guys, I've recently had a boiler repair (https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/leaking-potterton-promax-he.495649/#post-4069085) It was a leaking O-Ring on the flow switch. BUT, the Baxi repair guy unfortunately flooded the kitchen, boiler, and himself while draining the system, which...

Hi, Yes, it is boiler cover, not plumbing.

Thanks for the replies guys, I will take your advice. My wife reminded me (luckily) that we do have boiler cover. I found the paper work, and it is from D&G, but it was via Potterton/Baxi. Do they repair that side of the boiler - as that is more plumbing isn't it? Cheers

Is it not an easy fit?

Hopefully Pics are here:

Hi Guys, I've had a leaking boiler for a while, but could never see anything damp on the boiler itself, just a puddle on the kitchen worktop after the boiler hadn't been in use for a while. I think it must be getting worse now, as there is a small, continuous leak quite regular now. I presume...

Great, thanks for the reply :)

Hi guys, I moved in to a new (to me) house not so long ago, and have had a bit of an issue recently. When the heating (it seems) has been off for a while, when the boiler fires back up, there is a small puddle of water under it, but that is the only time it leaks, and has just started doing...

Thanks for the help Echo. I ordered a new actuator from Amazon Prime at at 21.00 and it got delivered the next day which was Sunday! I've installed it, and all is working well again now! Thanks all for the help.

Thanks again for the replies! Just to confirm, I tested Brown wire to Neutral, without Hive calling and there was 0v. With Hive turned on, I was getting 240v, yet the valve didn't move, so does that sound like like a knackered actuator/valve head? No where local seems to sell the Danfoss...

Hi Guys, Thank you for all the replies. We had a warm house through the night as least :) Could this valve not be being told to operate from the boiler itself? Or could the valve be knackered and isn't operating electrically? Also, to check Hive isn't the problem, I could just link out the...

Is it dangerous leaving it locked open? It is on the water pipe side, nothing to do with gas. I guess I just won't have hot water now? Which we can plan around.

UPDATE Manually actuating the Danfoss valve does bring the heating on (I had the boiler turned off when I was trying it just before). So the heating is on, but with the Danfoss valve in a locked open position?! I guess this is controlled from the boiler? If you move the lever from the locked...

Hi, - It is a Potterton Promax HE - My system is an unvented water tank type, and the boiler heats both the water tank and central heating. Water is OK, and the boiler fires. Heating doesn't. - I've tried resetting and powering off the boiler and whole hive system - Water pressure on the heating...

H, It is a Potterton Promax HE. Yes, the green light comes on fine for both heating and water. The hive receiver makes it normal quiet click shortly after the green light is on.
