Boiler issues
Former Community Member
We have a Potterton Combi boiler, it was losing pressure. Engineer replaced the diverter valve and said it was corroded. It worked fine for a few days before making a loud banging noise for s few minutes which stopped when the sink taps were on. It was ok for a couple of days and then went off completely. The engineer says the circuit board needs replacing but I'm wondering what caused the issue with the circuit board & whether it will just blow again. I think the boiler is about 8 years old. Any advice welcome.
Chris for your own use, try Beermingum Ingiooring Surploys - or at least I think she said something like that on the phone when I called in my last order for a gas hose for a camping stove, there is a slight language barrier but they are very good..
In fairness, I don't see how you could change a thermocouple without withdrawing the burners, but no harm in hoovering them out once in a while. I am getting to the stage of life where a bit more asbestos has not got time to do any harm.
Any road, it wasn't a problem - I just popped across the road to City Plumbing where I bought three. ?
The local Pirtek chap is very good for hoses and any type of fitting you can think of.
