Potterton Suprima 50L - Continuing Saga
Hello all,
I have had a continuing issue with my Potterton Suprima 50L boiler. For over 6 weeks I have had the boiler lock out (red flashing LED once per second) up to 6 times per evening. I have had Heat Team come out to it 5 times and they have replaced the APS (twice) and the PCB (twice). On the last visit they told me I had a blockage on the cold water feed from the header tank for the system and that I should get a plumber to replace it. So I did. I turned all the heating back on and it ran for 5 hours fine. Then at 7PM in the evening it locked out again. Can anyone give me any advice as to what may be causing this issue? Kevin. |

Do you have a red HT lead ? -- geoff |

I'll take a look and get back to you on that. Are you thinking that the HT lead is carbonfibre as opposed to copper? I've read that this can be a cause of failure. Kevin. |

I'll take a look and get back to you on that. front right hand panel is on a hinge an angles down - the HT lead is a single lead running up to the electrode If you have a new module (white box as opposed to a pcb) it's highly unlikely that it's not been changed, but let's eliminate the obvious first Are you thinking that the HT lead is carbonfibre as opposed to copper? I've read that this can be a cause of failure. it's as unreliable as the pcb ! Kevin. -- geoff |
