Potterton Suprima - amber light flashing

[Globar]

Hi

I have a Potterton Suprima 60L - the boiler will not light and all I have is a constant flashing amber light. No hot water or heating no matter what setting I put the programmer on.

A new PCB was fitted about 2 years ago

It is not locking out this time - just flashing amber.

It has been doing this for a bout 2 weeks. When it started it would flash not light and you would come back an hour or so later and it would be lit. Seems to have got slowly worse and now wont light at all. Just flashes.

Any ideas

tried resetting it ?

Flashing amber is boiler thermostat turned off,so could be faulty potentiometer or pcb.

Thanks

Resetting it does nothing

Have thought it may be the PCB again but the new one is only two years old and most people seem to say once they have been changed they have no problems. (but then again anything can go wrong). Was trying to avoid the £160 for a new PCB but may have to bit the bullet

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem. Did you get it sorted? If so, what did you do? Please let me know.

Kevin.

The new PCBs are far more reliable but they can still fail.

That old thread never got very far but I would have asked if the boiler has been serviced.

There seems to be a feeling that there is no need to service boilers and the only faults can be repaired by replacing parts!

Whilst parts can fail there are also adjustments and servicing aspects which can cause the same problems.

That's why a gas reg engineer can often so a cheaper repair than a DIYer blindly replacing parts!

Hi,

No it's not been serviced. I had already decided to look into getting that done.

Thanks
