How old is the Potterton 50 Suprima boiler?

The PCBs on these are notorious, was it definately a brand new PCB ? if you are not sure post a pic of the reset button , if it is a new PCB that whole section gets changed Thanks @BoredSeb, the boiler is 13 years old and the engineer replaced it with a new board.

When to replace Potterton Suprima 60 lockout circuit?

The overheat stat should trip at about 87 degrees (too hot to put your hands on the pipes) if it is tripping too low and causing a nuisance then replace that first. If it is really that hot then we have to look at the other 3 parts of the temperature control circuit above.

What should I do about my Potterton Suprima fault?

If access to the sensor was anything like mine (both are located on the pipes), a spanner that’s open at one end and with a socket type ratchet at the other would be a good investment. I got one for around a fiver at the local B&Q, without which I don’t know how I’d have got the thing off!

Why did my Potterton Suprima boiler fall apart?

If that’s faulty, the PCB thinks the gas hasn’t lit (even though it has), and so goes into lock-out. So took the main body of the boiler off, and upon checking the electrode lead’s connection it fell apart in my hand!

When does Potterton Suprima 60 overheat before tripping?

Why does my Potterton Suprima boiler stop igniting?

Hi, I have a Potterton Suprima 50 Boiler and it stopped igniting, it would try to fire up by running its cycle but then I’d get a flashing red light, it just repeated the process when the reset button was pressed. So I got an engineer to come and look at it.

Are there any problems with the Potterton Suprima?

They came in many heat output sizes from 30,000 BTUs right up to 120000 BTUs and all in the same size case. The 120s were recalled a few times due to problems and eventually withdrawn, but all in all, they were a good boiler. The Potterton suprima had its faults though and one of them was the PCB or otherwise known as the printed circuit board.

Are there any problems with the Potterton 120?

The 120s were recalled a few times due to problems and eventually withdrawn, but all in all, they were a good boiler. The Potterton suprima had its faults though and one of them was the PCB or otherwise known as the printed circuit board.

When was the Potterton Suprima gas boiler made?

It clearly still had the old style circuit board, again one of the earlier circuit boards fitted to the Potterton Suprima, with a membrane panel which has to be pressed to re-set the boiler if it locks out. The data plate carried a “00” year code indicating it was manufactured in 2000.

How old is the Potterton boiler in the UK?

What does flashing red mean on Potterton Suprima boiler?

I can’t remember now.) The Potterton Suprima Replacement PCB Kit manual says that flashing red 3 times/sec indicates an air pressure switch (APS) fault or a flow switch fault. We opened the boiler up to check if a flow switch was fitted (sometimes called a dry fire switch) but there was none on this boiler.

When did the Potterton Suprima circuit board come out?

The data plate carried a “00” year code indicating it was manufactured in 2000. We removed the screw which allows the control panel to flip down and inspected the board, finding the classical darkened scorch mark which is typical of Potterton Suprima circuit boards of this type.
