Okay, here goes.
Boiler is Suprima 60 with balanced flue. System is non pressurised, running 10 rads on CH and 1 towel rad & cistern on HW. Boiler is 8 years old and has previously operated without fault.
System was shut down & drained to move radiator in one of the bedrooms. system was idle for about 2 months, then fully bled and turned back on. Problems (in order) and action taken are as follows.
Boiler failed to ignite. Identified as no power to switched live. 3 port and cylinder stat replaced and problem solved. Boiler operated for 3 days.
Boiler 'kettled' and locked out numerous times. Identified as CH pump. Pump replaced and boiler operated for 2 days.
Boiler started to lock out frequently, and this is where the wierd stuff began. After a day of continually trying to reset, BOTH LED's went out (never to return). Having read so much about the PCB problems of this model, I opted for a replacement from Control Engineering Technology in Watford. I installed it this morning, and for good measure I also replaced the temperature thermistor and overheat thermostat (in case they had been damaged by the earlier kettling).
Still no illumonation to the LED's. I have reset the heating controller (not the Potterton integrated one) and there is power going to both Live and Switched Live on the front panel. I have also checked (by disconnecting and reconnecting) all cables.
Any ideas??? At all???
Thanks in advance to anyone who can solve this mystery...
