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.
I am beginning to think that we all died when younger because many of these regulations are fairly recent. You may do whatever you like with your own gas, water, electricity, etc as I am sure you all know. For reward, you may need a few certificates, which we do not seem to have for electricians. I wonder how many would see this as a good thing if it was illegal not to have a piece of paper for you, personally, not the company, employer, but you. I am interested to know.
Obviously, the filling loop pressurisation is a user bit of maintenance, otherwise many systems would have the "Gas Safe" man once a month. It's in the user manual with the gauge on the user display!
