Potterton Suprima 50 HE Boiler problem
Hi,
I have a Potterton Suprima HE 50 boiler that was working fine until Saturday. The boiler will fire up as normal for a few moments but then go on to lockdown. According to the fault board indicator (the lockdown light is the only one alight and is flashing) that this is an air pressure signal fault. Any ideas what the problem may be and what is needed to fix this? Many thanks Jaime |

writes In message , writes Thanks Tony. Had suspected that. Don't know about the 50 HE but my Suprima cct. board failed after a service visit. Check the solder joints with a magnifying glass where the mains connector is mounted. In my case, flow solder bath techniques did not provide enough time/heat to make sound joints. No Tim - The HE is completely different -- geoff |

He emailed me today I too have a Suprima question. Apparently the "green" light sometimes comes on, boiler does not start up, and only works again when the green light is pushed. Of course, it behaved perfectly when I was there. (And it is a two-hour drive away.) Is this a symptom of the PCB issues that others have been going on about? Or have I got wrong end of stick? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/318411/Suprima%2060.jpg -- Rod |

Probably, but not really possible to say anything for definite As Ed Sirett (ex of this parish) once said, its the only boiler where he changes the pcb then looks to see what else might be wrong Or have I got wrong end of stick? https://dl.dropbox.com/u/318411/Suprima%2060.jpg -- geoff |

Her eyes are somewhat challenged. I'll email. -- Rod |
