Hi, I have a problem where my potterton profile 60e bolier ignites and heats up normally for about 10 - 15 mins. Thereafter the boiler cuts out and makes a sound as if misfiring or trying to ignite up, the pilot light remains on throughout, the boiler seems to try and start up every few seconds in a cyclical fashion. After a few mins the boiler sparks up fine to produce the flame.
- This sounds similar to the issue on //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=49729 where 'namsag' diagnosed it as a solenoid issue.
- Or could this be something overheating causing the boiler to cut out and the igniting and flaming up when cooler?
The CH and HW seems to be working okay but the noise indicates something isn't quite right and I don't want to face any nasty surprises in the future given I've a young daughter.
I want to diagnose what the issue is EXACTLY as far as possible, as I've spent a fair amount of money last yr (new pump, system flush) and can't afford to throw much more money at the heating system as I've been made redundant and have a wee 9 month old with cold hands!
Admittedly it hasn't been serviced in years.
Appreciate any assistance on the issue and a rough assessment of likely costs!
Otherwise anyone around the NW London are welcome to pop in for a cuppa, biccies and a looksie!
Thanks in advance.
Harry Potterton.
