Hi all,
Just about to move house and the boiler has started playing up!!
Potterton Puma 80e. HW seems to work fine but boiler is more noisy than normal.
CH, when turned on the boiler ignites OK, then makes noises as though air is trapped somewhere. After 10 seconds or so water, then steam, comes out of the valve on top of the boiler. The boiler flame goes out. The steam lasts for about 10 seconds then stops, a few seconds later the boiler lock-out light comes on.
Pressure is on 2 according to the guage underneath the boiler.
First time this happened earlier today, the initial splurge of water from the valve was enough to go 2' high and reach the ceiling covering it in nice black water!
Any ideas. As you can imagine, I don't want to spend a fortune getting this fixed!!
Regards,
Chris
