Hello, can anyone help me.
We have a potterton prima 50e which was installed about 20yrs ago. After some overheat thermostat cutting out problems last year we replaced the 2 port CH valve, so when the same thing started to happen again this year we replaced the (original) HW valve (as a precaution - not a scientific deduction)). Since then we can't get the system to work.
Power seems to be present at the wiring board when the timers switch on, but neither valves are operating. If we change the HW to manual, the boiler does fire but goes off after 30secs or so (maybe because the pump doesn't start to run).
The pump is a replacement but about 10yrs old. If for some strange reason it failed when we put in the new valve, whould this prevent the valves from operating.
I don't think it would and feel the wiring is a bit iffy, but OH thinks it could and wants to buy a new pump. I await any help with interest
Thanks
