About this deal

If there is a problem with these sensors, they can begin to send messages telling the boiler the water is up to temperature when it isn’t. This causes the boiler to cut off and stop heating the water further. An engineer will need to look at all of the possible causes of this problem to ascertain which issue your Potterton boiler has. When mains gas became available, around 1992 I think, we had a professional plumber come in, remove the multi fuel and install a gas boiler and fire. The controls have been the same since then, the loft radiator was removed as were the TRV's on the bathroom and shower room rads, and I think the room stat was removed then. The boiler was moved out to the garage. The hot water tank is in the loft, and the pump is also in the garage.

This is the fan and your boiler needs to know that the fan is operating before it can switch other components on. If the fan isn’t recognised, the boiler will not start and if the signal is intermittent, the fan may end up switching itself off and on repeatedly. A relatively common issue with older Potterton boiler models such as the Potterton Promax, Suprima and Profile models is an issue where the heating works but there is no hot water. If it is a minor issue, such as the wiring, the fix should be relatively simple and affordable. If there is a problem with a major component such as the PCB, this is an altogether bigger and more expensive. Faulty Air Pressure Switch – If this switch is sending the wrong signals to the PCB, this can lead to this problem as well as others.A similar, but slightly less common problem is the other way round with hot water working but no central heating. If your boiler is fairly old, our of warranty, and has a fault with a major component such as the PCB, it is usually wiser to replace the whole boiler rather than fix one component and then wait for the next one to fail.

Regardless of which of the causes is the issue, you will need to get a qualified gas engineer out to look at your boiler. Once you have identified and fixed the leak, you will then be able to repressurise the system and it should now work as normal. In this guide, we have outlined the five most common problems you are likely to encounter with your Potterton boiler. We have explained what the cause of the problem is likely to be and also what is needed to fix it. My system originally had a multi fuel coal boiler, as we did not have mains gas in the village. We had a radiator in the loft that remained on all the time then, I think all the other rads had TRV's, and from memory I think we had a room stat in the hall but cannot remember. The only way to fix a leak is to find where it is and close it up. This is sometimes a minor job that you can do yourself by tightening a joint or using a DIY sealant. If the issue is with a soldered joint, it is usually a relatively minor issue to fix it.I got the item okay - very prompt - and the courier did not seem to need a signature so put it through the letterbox as I had asked. Thank you. There are also various different fault codes that your Potterton boiler could generate. These include E131, E133, E151, E152, E160 and E161. How to Fix it:

If the NTC thermistor itself is damaged, the engineer should be able to replace it. This component is not terribly expensive. Limescale– If there is a build-up of limescale on the NTC Thermistor, this can affect the sensors ability to measure temperature. If it measures the temperature incorrectly, this means it is likely your boiler will be unable to get hot water up to temperature.This is a problem that you will need an engineer to help you fix. If the problem is being caused by limescale, the engineer will be able to clean things up using specialist chemicals. He will probably do this by carrying out a hot flush. If this is the decision you take, be sure to get a quote from Heatable. Heatable is an online installation firm that offers some of the best prices on a wide range of high-quality boilers from Potterton and all other major boiler manufacturers. Low boiler pressure is a common problem with all boilers and Potterton boilers are as susceptible to this as any others.

An issue with the central heating pump – the pump is struggling to push water around the system. This could be caused by a problem with the settings or even a blown seal. But if the water in the return pipe continues to be cold, this suggests that there is a problem with the water circulating in your system. In this guide, we look at the various types of Potterton boiler controls and what they can do for you and your home. Potterton Electro-Mechanical 24 Hour Timer NTC Thermistor – This is the proper name of the temperature sensors. Sometimes this component can go wrong but sometimes the problem can be with the printed circuit board (PCB) that isn’t receiving messages from this sensor properly. Where the problem is a major one, you might end up deciding to buy a whole new boiler. If you do, we have recommended Heatable as the place to look for the best priced new boilers around.

Wiring issues – if your boilers wiring has come loose or got damaged, this can affect the signal reached the printed circuit board (PCB). Have you had problems with your Potterton boiler? Did our guide help you identify and fix the issue? Do you have questions about any issues we haven’t covered in this guide? Any tips for other readers that we haven’t mentioned? As we noted before, if you have an older boiler, you might reach the conclusion that your money is better spent on a brand new boiler rather than patching up an old one. #5 – No Hot Water / No Central Heating If the problem is being caused by a more serious issue with an internal component in the boiler such as the heat exchanger, you will need to get an engineer to take a look and suggest the best course of action # 2 – Boiler Switches Off Before Radiators Are Up To Temperature
