THANKS FOR WATCHING!
Legend, you’ve just saved me a fortune. After 3 weeks of no hot water I replaced pcb (thankfully a cheap eBay second) and still failed. Put on my big girl pants to have a go myself in the depths of the scary boiler beast and Venturi was completely blocked. Quick cocktail stick and pipe cleaning and now fires again, better than before. Very grateful you enabled me to fix myself with zero boiler knowledge. Thank you!
Came back from holiday with a cold house and no hot water. This fix got me out of trouble in 30 minutes. Cheers
Mate! I can’t thank you enough for this. It’s 19:00 on the day before Christmas Eve, people coming to stay and the boiler stopped. This fixed the problem, easy. The spigot was blocked. Thank you so much!
This worked for me!
So a big thank you for making this video has this has saved me from having no hot water or central heating over Christmas. 👍
Thanks mate you’re a legend
I watched your video and got me 20yr old suprima working.
Was looking at a lot of £££’s
Thanks merry Christmas
Many thanks Hugh 🥳
20 years!? Any issues besides PCB?
Mate your life saver, this just worked for me and took around 30mins, thank you!
Thanks GG, great vid. Careful of the motor cooling fan (black plastic) put my finger in it, broke fan and gave a nasty gash.
GG , What a legend you are.
Did power flush 13 rads. Open Vent system. Left everything fine .
CH / DHW , Morning after . Got call boiler went onto lockout .
Could be Airlock.
boiler fires up / cuts off .
potterton Suprima .
Please help 🙏
Thanks
Nice video. Just been to customers house which has the same issue. Thought it was the air pressure switch as when sucking on the tube nothing happens. Bit weary to change as they don't fail often.
wanted to ask you said to gently suck on the tube, but the subtitles says to blow. which one is it? thanks
Suprima 100L Same problem get spark but no start up. Checked the venturi valve as video but the 100L looks nothing like yours. Only 1 cm long within fan and opening full dia size 3mm. Is that correct?
I have just had the exact fault, first the gas engineer replaced the air pressure switch but the boiler would still not light. I found a small feather was actually inside the fan so as the fan spun the feather was sucked in to the hole and prevented the pressure switch from working. The gas engineer pushed a small Allen key through the pipe and said it was clear and it must be the fan not creating enough air pressure. After he left I removed the pipe and found a small feather, removed the feather and it worked.
This is what's happening to my boiler. How do you remove the cover?
Nice explanation 👍😉
That was a food demo, good job
Thanks, interesting video. Does the burn marks on the boiler H/E and cover make the boiler unusable or condemned?
Appreciate your comments, NB
Great vid, I have the same boiler, makes a horrible noise when been on for a while, like hissing and vibrating.
Sounds like circulation issues.
I’ve got same boiler and I think it’s called kettling. The boiler lights up fine and can see the flame, then theirs a clunking noise about a min in and the flame goes out. The boiler release the sequence.
Then the red lights started coming on. And the boiler is still trying to flash green and start the sequence again.
We had hot water but radiators not heating up.
@@Stevenmillar01 thanks, when I turn the gas/pilot? down, it doesn't make any noise anymore. It still heats up (heating/hot water) just a lot slower. If I turn the gas/flame higher it starts to make that 'kettling' noise
@@theeroom Steven Millar you've both got circulating issues. Water heated by the boiler not going around quick enough. One is worse than the other.

Got red and green lights flashing, changed the PCB but still the same cant reset?
Hi I have the same boiler recently started giving me trouble . Red light keeps flashing and when press reset button for 5 seconds it runs on but only for few minutes and then starts making rattling noises few times and then agains back to red flashing light ,hot water but no central heating I can touch both pipes on my radiators and both are cold , bled the air from radiators but still the same .any help would be appreciated
Got exactly the same problem
Hi there , needing some help I just drained system and refilled now my Suprima ignited and works
For 30sc and goes off for bit then goes on again , any idea where can be the issue ? I’ll appreciate that
Thanks
Hi boss. Thanks for your video.
I’ve got a Potterton suprima 40 and it does the same as described above, but I think it flashes red a little slower compared to vídeo above. After resetting (maybe 3 to 10min) boiler’s light flesh red again, but sometimes it does not shut off, other times it does. There’s not consistency, why? Could it be NTC thermistors?
Thanks
Hi. Is the air proving unit different to the air pressure switch?
My boiler man has just changed the air pressure switch but the red light still cones on. Solid light, no flashes
Great video….. did all what you showed and new PCB board too, however my fan doesn’t spin as shown in yours?
Tries to light but cuts out and red light still flashing 2 times per second.
Any advice?
Hi I have a Suprima 100 which comes back on after the timer has shut the system down, both HW & CH. The only way to turn off is at the main isolator switch. Any Ideas please?
I just had this issue turned out to be flow switch managed to clear the blockage but now need to go back to fit a new one
Thank you for your great video.
Suprima 60 getting locked out few time in a day but working when switch off and turn back on . It started after a plumber replaced pump a month ago. Any idea what is the cause Please?
Was exactly what was locking mine out
Thanks for posting mate very good.
Ta very much bud, really appreciate it
hi i have a main 15 he boiler ... it is showing red on green off green on could you help please
Rattling noise , no heating and red light flashing . After pressing reset button it starts firing but again go back to red flashing light after a few minute . Any help ?
great video. thanks
Another great tip. Thanks alot mate 👍
Thanks for watching mate and for taking the time! 🙌
Thank you
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got orange light, sparks but no flame, I tested incoming power to gas valve I got 25volt AC, I have not Checked the APS...any help guys..cheers
PCB not giving the gas valve enough voltage to lift it sounds like, would expect 240volt AC on gas valve. Hence why ur getting spark but no flame.
Good video as usual 👍🏽
Cheers buddy! Top dude
Hi mate, I’ve got an issue with the boiler flashing amber and green, boiler lights for about 5/10 seconds then shuts off, it does that a few times before locking out flashing red
Same here did you manage to find the issue ? Thanks
Is there any right or wrong way to adjust the burner flame, I adjusted mine to temporarily to reduce the kettling before the heat exchanger was replaced. And can't remember what it was set to Originally 😅
if you was a gas safe engineer you would know! twat
I've changed pcb and and aps, but the boiler doesn, t spark, anyone have any ideas, I am gas safe registered
How to remove and clean heat exchanger plz
My fan won’t turn just stops
Try spraying some lube into the bits that should spin and turn the fan by hand when it's not on. It might need some encouragement once it switches on so use a tool so you don't catch your fingers in it.
