My mother-in-law's Powermax 155x boiler is locking out sometimes several times per day. She says the problem has been getting worse for ages. Switching off and on again cures it. She has no manual. It was installed when the house was built about 3 years ago.
I know a little about combi-boilers - enough to know that the pressure should not be at 0 bar (the red arrow is at 1 bar) and I can recognise a re-pressure link and valve and use it with care. I also know that if this hunch is wrong, I'll have to get a specialist - I'll stick to bleeding my rads and changing washers.. But - as it is at the back of a cupboard I can't see how to get the front off!! The top panel lifts out OK, but I can;t see what to do next.
Can anyone help with either - how to get in - or whether my hunch is worth a try?
