    Potterton Suprima HE Fan keeps breaking

    Had this very situation, the flue bend off the top of the boiler ending up being holed by corrosion but on the hidden top side so water down it via condense etc was okay but the steam when it was running killed the fans eventually...... new flue bend and seal at the boiler side cured it

    Technika LCD22-218 DVD Combo unit

    Thanks for the reply, I am a boiler repair technician so I deal a fair bit with electronics but usually in a dingy cupboard or loft!.... Did take the back off it and examined all the Pcbs with a torch , straightened out a few capacitors etc that had leaned into each other checked all the...

    Technika LCD22-218 DVD Combo unit

    Normally participate in the Gas Combustion Chamber section but hopefully 1 of you guys can give me an insight into the murky world of cheap Tesco tellys. Basically it switchs on manually via the buttons on top but will not change from the DVD screen, will not play a disc and does not respond to...

    Fitting External Programmer to Worcester Heatslave Combi

    Looking at it the boiler terminal strip is only asking for the CH and DHW inputs so I would wire it as you have suggested, the changeover is looked after by boiler thermostats so all its asking for is timed inputs. I have linked these out before as a temporary fix to get folk back in business...

    Central Heating OK but no DHW

    Basically the 3 pin plug that detachs the actuator from the board has 240v on 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 depending on if its dhw or heating . If it changes in response to the boiler swopping between heating and hot water then its the actuator. Down to experience, its the actuator because when the PCB...

    Yep have come across a couple recently with the choked plate heat exchanger and the test DP describes is spot on, even us Scots with our top quality water get crap through the heating side of the plate.

    IDEAL HE24 ISAR Problem?

    Check for plate heat exchanger O ring leaks which is yet another old fave fault, the amount of built in Isars in nearly new houses we go to where the leak goes down the back of units or behind trim out of sight after falling off the bottom cover plate is unbelievable. It simulates the dripping...

    Alpha CB28 leak

    New O ring required, fits in groove inside the heat exchanger side, orange if I remember rightly....... It can be obtained as part of a kit for all O rings for the boiler because when you start flexing or undoing pipework it becomes a nightmare for leaks. Use silicone grease when fitting them ...

    Potterton Profile 60e ADVICE PLEASE!

    We use an insurance reference list of most boilers made and it says that the Potterton Profile Prima 60e was made between 1988 to 1992 but the Potterton Profile 60e was made between 1988 to 2001 so check the exact model to be certain. It serves a purpose with us for Homeserve customers who fib...

    Oil Heatslave 18/25

    noisy combi boiler

    And ensure the burner gaskets are replaced , they crumble if they are the old style and do not seal up again without the new style gasket. They make loads of humming........ pumps, fan, gas valve, boards now and again even loose bits of casing. :?

    Worcester Bosch Combi Ignition Lockout

    Had this last week on a 35cdi , PCB appeared to lose flame signal after a random time but worked ok whenever we appeared. Changed PCB after 3rd visit and we havent heard from him since. Its a thought.

    Worcester 28i Junior No hot water but heating ok????

    Sounds like an air supply issue , air switch drops out on high flame if not enough air getting through flue, check flue, venturis and airswitch. It will light up then be starved of oxygen on high flame for hot water but it runs on lower flame for heating so heating gets there ok. Check...
