What does lock out light on Potterton kingfisher MF mean?
The Kingfisher MF has overheat protection so should the heat exchanger overheat, the boiler ‘locks out’. ‘Locking out’ means the boiler illuminates a red ‘lockout light’ and turns itself off, requiring the user to reset boiler by pressing the ‘Reset’ button once the boiler had cooled for a while.
When did Potterton stop using the Kingfisher boiler?
Being a non-condensing boiler however, the Kingfisher MF was discontinued when condensing boilers became mandatory in 2005. This boiler suffers from all the same failures as most fan flued non-condensing boilers. Fan failure, air pressure switch failure, PCB failure, gas valve failure etc.
Where is the thermostat on a Potterton kingfisher?
The temperature control knob is attached to the variable temperature thermostat spindle. This thermostat senses the temperature inside the heat exchanger and occasionally loses its calibration. A new thermostat is probably still available. Quite a rare failure though, and I haven’t needed to replace a thermostat on a Kingfisher for many years.
