Hello The water light is on constantly on this boiler. No water is running. But it won’t go out and as a result the Heating does not work. I have switched the boiler off and also tried the reset as per instructions. But as soon as I turn the boiler back on the water light stays on. If I run the...

I have a potterton boiler that’s leaking water from under the control panel. Just seems to be a few drops every few days. It seems to be working otherwise. Worried it’s on its last legs. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi I have a Potterton Gold combi, about 15 yrs old, and a thermostatic shower. When the shower is run, the boiler doesn't always ignite or if it does, it cuts out after 30-45 secs. I don't have this issue if i run a bath. In fact, i notice that if the shower runs cold and i switch on the HW...

We have a 60s house with a single pipe central heating system About 3 weeks ago I went into the loft as I was going to fit a new radiator so I planned to block the breather and feed pipe in the central heating header tank. To my surprise the water was boiling hot. I shut down the heating system...

Hi all I'm looking for some advice / views please. I have an old (installed 2000) Potterton Kingfisher MF RS50 boiler that has developed an intermittent fault. My system is gravity fed with a cold water tank and header tank in the loft and a single zone switch which - I'm told - is why I can...

Hello, Can you please advise me if my wiring diagram looks correctly? I've ordered few days ago Hive without installation and from what I've gathered that seems how it should be looking like, but I would ideally need confirmation from somebody that knows better then my very amateurish skills...

My Combi Gold 33 HE just went into a state where it is indicating hot water demand all the time, so obviously we are getting no CH and the burner is firing up , fan turning on and off every few minutes. I believe this is a problem with the DHW flow sensing function so took the hall effect...

Anyone able to help with this one. I need to fit a bypass valve to a POTTERTON PROMAX COMBI 28 HE PLUS A. The instructions for most of these bypass valves (Honeywell DU144 for example) seem to come with a chart where I have to refer to the pump speed and minimum flow rate for the boiler. This...

Hi all I hope some kind soul out there can help with this. I am a novice but willing to learn. The whole concept of water heating systems and electricity is voodoo to me, but I have tried to educate myself with hours of internet research and I think I am getting there but I need some help and...

Hi, I’ve had a Potterton Kingfisher MF CF 100 Floorstanding boiler in the outside shed for 20 years and it’s still working brilliantly. I had my annual gas service and Homeserve spotted that the internal flue tube (goes up to the shed roof and out) had corrosion and a hole. They shut off the...

Hi all! Wondered if anyone had experience of this old relic from a bygone era?? I recently had the three port valve changed as well as the controller on this system. The old one was missing one of the sliders, plus the valve never seemed to open for heating, and the spindle sheared off when I...

Hi all, New here but been lurking for a while; you've helped with many a DIY task to date so I'm indebted already! I recently bought a Nest Thermostat for our quite old but fully working boiler (Potterton Profile 60e). It is controlled via a Potterton EP3001 controller, and feeding into that...

Hi all, Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question, I am totally helpless. Recently moved into a new flat and today turning the heating on for the first time since the move in date. We have a potterton performer 28, and as far as I can see I've set everything how it should be, but...

I'm planning on updating our central heating system in the next few weeks and need some advice in regards to rewiring for the new central heating controller. We currently have an ancient Potterton EP2000 unit controlling the central heating and I'm looking to replace it with a Honeywell T6R-HW...

I posted this question in September: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/diverter-valve.509393/ The answerer talked about diverter valves and cartridges. I have a few questions: 1) What the difference is between a diverter valve and a cartridge? 2) Why could the cartridge fail independently of...
