This short video I go to a Potterton Suprima with no heating or hot water and find out the fault fast. Fires up then goes out .. boom watch n learn. www.Drpipe.co.Uk
A boiler that meant so much to ma . Pcb faults down to engineers being to heavy a handed. A 5 hour full strip down service and I could have a suprima brand new again.
Back in the day (90's) when those old ones were new, I no end of grief with breakdowns on new boilers, boards mainly, in the end potty came up with a retrofit that involved changing the whole boiler wiring harness and a completely different board IIRC. Agreed: garrages were the best place for them, Easy to work on though compared to some current stuff.......
@@julianhawker7672 it was due to the PCB getting too hot believe it or not cause it was right next to a boiler (who would of thought of that) hence the cassette came out
It was never a good idea turning a standard Suprima into a HE appliance. Condemned so many of these, just not worth spending 💰 on ! Luckily its not a 70-80HE as would have a £269 DC fan on top of the bill & very common when the turret fails..
Unfortunately, Potterton lost their way when they "improved the Prima/ Profile range". DC gas valve to overcome the original AC valve issues, pcb issues and fan related problems which Potterton failed to resolve let alone fully accept! Such a shame, because, after the glowworm fuelsaver range the prima/profile range was bomb proof. Now we have the latest generation of "high tec, high efficiency boilers" that it seems we accept a 10-12year economic life span as acceptable!
