Hi Guys,
I have a Potterton Lynx 2 boiler that has just developed a problem.
My Ex heard the boiler turn on the other morning and then made a buzzing sound and switched off...... Fuse on PCB blew.
I changed the fuse and set boiler to 24hr operation and noticed the loud buzzing.
When the boiler is in demand for either HW or CH the boiler makes a buzzing sound and does not wish to operate.
I have tracked the buzzing down to a rapidly switching relay (black case, lower relay on PCB). On closer inspection of the relay with black case removed, you can see the switching and arcing of the relay.....
If pressure is applied to the relay arm and forced to make the circuit, the boiler operates as normal...
Does anyone know if this is repairable????
Cheers....
PS... A quick response would be good cos it's freezing in here!!!!!
