Help! any heating engineers here that know the Potterton boiler range?
Typically it's gone wrong a few months before it gets replaced! It's a Profile 80e model that won't fire up. (System boiler)
Symptoms are that once heat is called for it repeatedly starts the fan then it stops without firing. No clicks from the soliniods or ignition then after about 20 attempts it will go through all its steps and work ok.
As far as I can tell this is the procedure it goes through to work correctly but tell me if I'm wrong! First it needs to run the fan to get a pressure drop in the flu then open the pilot gas valve then light it and finally open the main gas valve and light that. Does that sound right?
What can I test myself ( qualified electrician) or is there a common failure of a component that I can test and replace?
Thanking you.
