    Potterton Profile 60E Refuses to fire up

    Just thought, theres a small round hole in the bottom of the plastic cover, stick a pencil in the hole to reset the overheat stat, worth a try

    Potterton Profile 60E Refuses to fire up

    Sorry Im retired after 45 years as a gas engineer & living in the Costa del Kent. I would think most parts are available on the internet, even the white Rodgers gas valve is probably replaceable with the Honeywell one if Baxi/Potterton approved it, Im sure I did one a few years ago.

    Programmer / Timer replacement on an old boiler . Pump over run needed

    The metal arm on those is just the trigger, the metal plate on the pump overrun switch is bi-metallic, which when heated by a small electric element bends and triggers the microswitch.

    Potterton Profile 60E Refuses to fire up

    I cannot see any issues with you checking out the electrics yourself as long as you dont remove the main casing as it forms part of the balanced compartment. The gas valve solenoids, pcb, thermostat & air pressure switch are all located behind the plastic bottom cover, the fan is not but you can...

    Programmer / Timer replacement on an old boiler . Pump over run needed

    Im sorry for the delay in responding to your post which I read last night but I was laughing so much I couldn't type. Im old school and a firm believer in keeping some older appliances going but with Servowarm I draw the line, they may have been on of the first boilers to modulate if thats what...

    Cannot light pilot light.

    Have you checked your gas meter hasn't been turned off or locked out? Have you other gas appliances and do they work, if they are OK you will need a GSR engineer.

    Is it true WB & NEST issues?

    Im hearing that Worcester Bosch boilers & other makes used with a NEST aren't open-therm compatable so dont meet the boiler plus requirements just because its a SMART control. Are some manufacturers forcing you to use their own offerings?

    Programmer / Timer replacement on an old boiler . Pump over run needed

    Question to stem: What if the Honeywell solenoid, pump & the heater coil of the bi-metal switch (pump overrun) were switched by the timer in parallel, and a permanent live powered the pump via the bi-metal swich when microswitch contact was made, would that work ? Tne overheat stat would just...

    2 Rads not hot. Flow, return & bonus 3rd pipe?

    I would not think your boiler is undersized with a heating output up to 24Kw (110,000 btu's) if all the other are getting hot, have you tried it with all rads turn off except one of the problem ones, if it then gets hot you will have proved theres not a blockage, do the same thing with the other...

    What paint to use over an external copper gas pipe?

    It wont be bright & shiny for long but I suppose if you paint it black no one would know it was copper at a distance.

    Hi,Can you answer a few question for me please

    Im sure you'll find someone but the good installers aren't desperate for work and that 10 year warrenty wont be worth a light if the install isn't done right and then when the job doesn't meet your expectations will you ask your solicitor to write a letter to the installer "on the cheap" if you...

    Does combi have minimum mains pressure requirement

    Basicly the answer is YES, your installer should check your mains water pressure & flow rate before any decision is made.

    Hi,Can you answer a few question for me please

    Choosing a larger output boiler should increase the amount of hot water per minute so you might be able to draw water from 2 taps at the same time but when its in CH mode it could be considered to be oversized and therefore less efficent. Vaillant ecotec model's for example can be adjusted for...

    Programmer / Timer replacement on an old boiler . Pump over run needed

    The pump need to switch ON with the timer but by also putting a permanent Live to terminal C on pipe stat and conect terminal 2 on pipe stat to pump Live and set the stat to 60C should do it.
