hi I have a Potterton Suprema 30 boiler, the thermal couplers going so
says a plumber I know as the hot water keeps going off, about once a
week. Is it easy to do myself?

Can I do it myself legally?
How much should it cost to get someone to do it properly if i cant do
it?

Any help would be appreciated

thanks.......


Thanks Ed

1) When the pilot light goes out the radiators and hot water both go
off
2) To reset it I keep my finger pressed on the reset button for approx
20 secs and let go then i should hear the boiler fire up and the light
goes from red to green.


OK one thing is certain, you need neither a themocouple or a thermal
coupler 8-).

We have an intermittant lock out problem on a modern boiler.

The manual may give some clues as to whart sort of problem is causing the
fault (eg. flashing = over heat, steady = ignition failure).
